Ok, so what this means is both these do not know God.

Bhagat Nam Dev said he has "seen the Lord". He has seen him everywhere, so he is telling us where to find him.

I interpret the Hindu God bit "saw Ram had his wife killed" to show that they are not Gods. They also did things a human did (eg killing someone). They are not without fault either, only God is without blemish.

The Hindu is blind because he see's God in an idol, the Muslim is one eyed because he says God is outside of the universe, but they cannot see Waheguru within. The Gyani is one who is spiritually wise and enlightened, of no religion (Bhagat Ravidas, Bhagat Farid etc.).

The Gyani is wiser as they know God is not far away or in a rock. Look within and you will find him, God is close and near. Everything is a projection of him. The others worship him in a temple and consider it the "home" of God e.g.: Mecca. Yet if God is everywhere, how can he be bound to one spot? So Bhagat Nam Dev is saying God is everywhere, not just a temple.

"na koi Hindu na Musalman" applies here. Fundamentally, there is no religion. God doesn't care about your religion. Just saying you're a Sikh won't get you anywhere.

Great interpretation!!

In this shabad of bhagat Namdev, He underlines for us the teachings of Gurmat.

And as we know, from Gurmat we come to understand that Wahiguru Akal Purukh, is not to be sought or found in lifless things made of any of the again inert five elements: like earth(stone, paper, wood, iron, pilgrimages etc...), water, air, fire and ether.

All the world is going blinded by maya in the wrong directions, and thus do not find their objective, their goal...though they may reach heavens or Baikunt maybe.... but that is not the reality.

Because the only reality is Wahiguru Akal Purukh, Parbraham Parmeshawar, Paree Pooran Parmatma, who is beyond maya, kal and karmas...

Then he mentions that the spiritual teacher(Gurmukh, Sant Jan, Sadh, Brahamgyani), as being wiser than all others.

They are wiser because, they know where He really resides, and thus tell us to do the same. They tell us that if at any place He is to be found, it is only within you( Harmandir eheu sareer hae...). And the metod of transportation to Him, is through Nam only.

That is why the Bani says: Nanak, Nam jahaaz hae.

The main differences as seen in the Shabad of Bhagat Namdev, between Gurmat and any other religion or path, is that, while others try to find Him outside at different places and in lifless perisahbles things created by man himself...and Gurmat teaches us to find Him, in the real temple of God, which is this human body, made by Himself and where He has seated Himself, and that to reach Him, we need nothing made of this world, as all is mayavee, all is transient and perishable, but to hold and board on the only reality and truth which is His Nam.

And all this we do not come to know by ourselves, but we are thankful to Him, by letting us learn, something about Him, about His glory, in Sadh kee sangat, through Gurparsad.

This is His real blessing upon us humans.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
