Respected DalSingh Ji,
As i said this word was also used for Cleansing so it comes in Bani with both meanings-Cleansing and Thinking. You have to see where it is being used, in what context and how.
Here in this line Word is used as
socY-sOc krny nwl
Other lines in Bani in the same context are-
-brq sMiD soc cwr ] ik®Aw kuMit inrwhwr ]
-mnu nhI sUcw ikAw soc krIjY ] ikrqu pieAw dosu kw kau dIjY ]
-piq ivxu pUjw sq ivxu sMjmu jq ivxu kwhy jnyaU ] nwvhu Dovhu iqlku cVwvhu suc ivxu soc n hoeI ]
-nwm ivhUxy pic muey BweI gxq n jwie gxI ] ivxu sc soc n pweIAY BweI swcw Agm DxI ]
i guess enough for today, there are more but i think you should read Bani yourself and find, as it will help you to understand better.
to discuss -"God was beyond intellectual grasp"
My dear read pauri 5-
ijin syivAw iqin pwieAw mwnu ]
.....jy hau jwxw AwKw nwhI khxw kQnu n jweI ]
here again maan must be read in its right context.
this word is used in Bani as-
1.proof mwn pRmwn
2.honor mwn Apmwn
3.agree mwnnw
it depends how it is used and what the other lines in the whole stanza are saying.
The words 'Akath Ki Katha' is mentioned differently and all depends how and where and also what state of a Jagiasu is being discussed.
Confused, it is ok, read Bani and ask for His(God/Guru) Guidance, He is the only one who will show you the Light, and He knows which way(?) as all is within you.
Always open for questions and comments.
