Saas Giraas

[simpy]

Respected Saadh Sangat Ji,

There has been some confusion on this term SAAS GIRAAS under another thread, just to clarify:

Saas- breath
Giraas- Morsel of food

so 'saas giraas' refers to WITH EVERY BREATH AND EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD.

Respected Surinder Kaur ji,

so 'saas giraas' refers to WITH EVERY BREATH AND EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD.

on the same note would you accept

Mankind = Man who is very Kind.

'saas giraas' =EVERY BREATH AND EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD. will only choke one to death.

But then again who am I to correct you.

I bid you Wahe Guru ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru ji ki Fateh.

 

[simpy]

Dear and Righteous Ekmusafir Ji,

it seems like you just want to prove me wrong- whichever way- now you dont have any other thing to say- so you came up with this joke.

anyways- all is eccepted on this end.

thanks very much endlessly.

I heard Sant Singh Maskeen ji doing the same translations.

Nice posts Bhen Surinder Kaur Ji, thanks.

 

[spnadmin]

Ekmusafir ji

We can agree that I am not a Gurmukhi scholar. So what does Saas Giraas mean then? More than one Dandami has translated it in accord with Surinder ji.

Man + kind has a different meaning.

Man - humans + Kind - species, type or category = Belonging to the category of humans

You are being funny.

Ekmusafir ajnabi Ji,


So you saying that all those who DO SIMRAN 24/7 are all choked to death.Yes, I agree there, their Iness is choked to death, BUT they are ABINAASI, Nirankaar Himself.

The fact that the transcendental Brahm is the prefect Brahm and the Guru is God, is only identified by a gurmukh, the Guru-orientated one.
