Re: Why do we do path or listen to path

What is a ritual? How is it different to a ceremony, or isn't it?
Is Sikhi a religion?

We have been told to do padh to reach God. [/quote]

Where?

You already answered your own question with "We are reading the guide book but not doing what the guide is telling us to do". You know they won't.

What do you mean by go to God at the death time"? We're already there, we just have to realise it (die) now while we are alive.

Many people blindly follow their religion, the external trappings of rituals, and they can talk-the-talk, but that counts for nothing if we don't have a way of life that upholds the values and teachings of the religion.

I understand that Asa Ki Var was very popular amongst all Guru Sahiban as an early morning recitation. Some people also feel that Japji Sahib was written by Guru Nanak Ji towards the end of his life, rather than at the beginning. Like an "in summary" at the end of a thesis, condensing everything he wrote preceeding into 38 succinct paurhis.

100% agree.
