Message: <blockquote data-quote="Archived_Member4" data-source="post: 87717" data-attributes="member: 6184">Simply by talking to people about Sikhi and hearing it over and over again from the Sikhs.   Listening.Shiva, Brahma and Indra. Listening.even foul-mouthed people praise Him. Listening.the technology of Yoga and the secrets of the body.Listening.the Shaastras, the Simritees and the Vedas. O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss. Listening.pain and sin are erased. || 9 || Listening.truth, contentment and spiritual wisdom. Listening.take yourcleansing bath at the sixty-eight places of pilgrimage. Listening.reading and reciting, honor is obtained. Listening.intuitivelygrasp the essence of meditation. O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss. Listening.pain and sin are erased. || 10 || ang 3 SIREE RAAG, THIRD MEHL: The self-willed manmukh performs religious rituals, likethe unwanted bride decorating her body. Her Husband Lord does not come to her bed; day after day, she grows more andmore miserable. She does not attain the Mansion of His Presence; she does not find the door to His House. || 1 || O Siblingsof Destiny, meditate on the Naam with one-pointed mind. Remain united with the Society of the Saints; chant the Name of theLord, and find peace. || 1 || Pause || ang 31 SIREE RAAG, THIRD MEHL: You may torment your body with extremes of self-discipline, practice intensive meditationand hang upside-down, but your ego will not be eliminated from within. You may perform religious rituals, and still neverobtain the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Through the Word of the Guru.s Shabad, remain dead while yet alive, and the Nameof the Lord shall come to dwell within the mind. || 1 || ang 33 SIREE RAAG, THIRD MEHL: The world is polluted with the filth ofegotism, suffering in pain. This filth sticks to them because of their love of duality. This filth of egotism cannot be washedaway, even by taking cleansing baths at hundreds of sacred shrines. Performing all sorts of rituals, people are smeared withtwice as much filth. This filth is not removed by studying. Go ahead, and ask the wise ones. || 1 || ang39  </blockquote>
