Gurfateh
Well Thanks a lot.
Here Guru wants to teach us that when even a Lady as per old legend can destory much more mighty demons than Hindu Paharis or Muslims Moghuls at that time so why can not we fight our foes with full zeal.
You have asked that
ਦੁਰਗਾ ਪਾਠ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਸਭੇ ਪਉੜੀਆਂ ॥
दुरगा पाठ बणाइआ सभे पउड़ीआं ॥
All the Pauris (stanza) of this DURGA PATH (The text about the exploits of Durga) have been composed;
ਫੇਰ ਨ ਜੂਨੀ ਆਇਆ ਜਿਨ ਇਹ ਗਾਇਆ ॥੫੫॥
फेर न जूनी आइआ जिन इह गाइआ ॥५५॥
And that person who sings it, will not take birth again.55.
Weather it is against Gurmat or Not and weather it is an attempt of Brahimns to crrupt us.
Here term Sing is used that means that after someone reads and Sings then will may not be reborn.
Here we need to understand that Guru is trying to let this thing be understood to us and singing will be only of such use if we understand that.
And that comes just from the start of the same
Das would like you to see the start of the same chapter ie 5th athe link

And so on and so forth.
Das wanted you to understand this.
page 297
admits that who is the God.
ੴ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹ ॥
ੴ वाहिगुरू जी की फतह ॥
The Lord is one and the Victory is of the Lord.
Then on 297 we have clearly wittan
ਤੈ ਹੀ ਦੁਰਗਾ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੈ ਦੈਤਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਸੁ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥
तै ही दुरगा साजि कै दैता दा नासु कराइआ ॥
O Lord! By creating Durga, Thou hast caused the destruction of demons.
We need to rember that this crerator is already been writtan to have created Three gods and incarnation etc see above.
This God is limitless
ਕਿਨੀ ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੨॥
किनी तेरा अंतु न पाइआ ॥२॥
None could know Thy end.2.
page 299
gives Basic essance of Gurmat(Same is in Holy Bible also that I Make Good and evil and bring War and Peace and do all and so in Old Aryan Books but they do not follow).
Ie Evil is also made by God.
ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਉਤਾਰਨ ਦੇਵਤਿਆਂ ਮਹਿਖਾਸੁਰ ਸੁੰਭ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥
अभिमानु उतारन देवतिआं महिखासुर सु्मभ उपाइआ ॥
Mahishasura and Sumbh were created for removing the pride of the gods.
Rest is full of deeds of War between Durga a creation of Akal and evil demons another crreation of Akal.
This gives us a message that both Good and evil are Akal creation and we need not fear evil or run away but confront it.
ਦੁਰਗਾ ਪਾਠ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਸਭੇ ਪਉੜੀਆਂ ॥
दुरगा पाठ बणाइआ सभे पउड़ीआं ॥
All the Pauris (stanza) of this DURGA PATH (The text about the exploits of Durga) have been composed;
ਫੇਰ ਨ ਜੂਨੀ ਆਇਆ ਜਿਨ ਇਹ ਗਾਇਆ ॥੫੫॥
फेर न जूनी आइआ जिन इह गाइआ ॥५५॥
And that person who sings it, will not take birth again.55.
Then what you have asked.
This last lines says that after reading and understanding it we will behold that Devi is only an creation and not a God if at all it is. and in the same way evil is also the creation so can be destroyed and not at all premanent.
This was the use of the story that let us know that gods and godess's are nothing but creations and not to be worshipped.
In Guru Granth Sahib Ji we have Anand Sahib where Sikhs are invited to come and Singh the True Bani.
Aho Sikh Satguru Ke Pyareo Gao Sachi Bani.
Here singing does not means to sing mechanicaly but to understand.
And by mercy of Realisation(Nadir Karam of God) it is embbeded in heart(Hyerdye Tina Samani).
So we need to understand that here term Singing is not for mechanicaql singing but to understand the whole Var togather which is clearly telling that God is the one who creates Devi and so Devi is not to be worshipped but Vahiguru has to be and if someone understand it in FULL ie From Start to end will never be reborn as he/seh will understand that God is Akal and not the Devi.
likewise in Gurbani Of Guru Granth Sahib Ji we have term Guna Gvan Din Raat(Sing the glory Day and Night),Gun Gavan Nit Tere(Sing glory of your day and night).
All here means singing after understanding and not the litral meaning of singing meachnicaly.
Allthough it is in Punajbi and Gayeeya means to sing so is in hindi.
In Nagri scrip it must be writtan as GAAYA.
But it may also means Gahiya it trevelled or understood.
but do we have any examples of such where H is not writtan and A replces it That Das just want to see.(an example where H is used and ingnored in term to get or Pavana ie on page 5 of Guru Granth Sahib JI
swlwhI swlwih eyqI suriq n pweIAw ] The praisers praise the Lord, but they do not obtain intuitive understanding
swlwhI swlwih EqI suriq n pweéAw ] saalaahee saalaahi aytee surat na paa-ee-aa.
ndIAw AqY vwh pvih smuMid n jwxIAih ] -the streams and rivers flowing into the ocean do not know its vastness.
ndIAw AqY vwh pvih smuNid n jwxIAih ] nadee-aa atai vaah pavahi samund na jaanee-ahi.
)
Another is at Ang 9
which as follow
AwiK Qky kImiq nhI pweI ] people have grown weary, but they have not been able to evaluate it.
AwiK Qky kImiq nhI pweé ] aakh thakay keemat nahee paa-ee.
jy siB imil kY AwKx pwih ] Even if everyone were to gather together and speak of Him,
jy siB imil kY AwKx pwih ] jay sabh mil kai aakhan paahi. We can see that H can be silent in term to get or Payee or Pahi
Later on we even have term
ਚਉਦਹ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਛਾਇਆ ਜਸੁ ਜਗਮਾਤ ਦਾ ॥
चउदह लोकां छाइआ जसु जगमात दा ॥
The praise of the mother of the universe spread over all the fourteen worlds.
Just before word you give here Jagmat is Akal and not Durga as she was created by Ik Onkar.
