Dear brother,

lighting lamps, is just a representation of wanting to change the darkness to light. Mahapurukhs tell us, that, Wahiguru Akal Purukh has the Light of countless suns and moons together, even then that light is no match to Wahiguru´s.

That is the splendour and refulgence in Sach Khand. Wahiguru is Nam, is Shabad also, we can say it is a Superconscious energy,with all that implies.

And as such, when His Darshan is had, we hear celestial blissful melodies, and have the chance to see His Akhand Jot.

And all that is already inside each one of us, irrespective of caste, creed, class or mazab. The Bani in Anand Sahib says: Nam jin ke maan vaseeya, vajeh Shabad ganere.

Means, when we concentrate our dhyan through Nam Simran, and have made that Nam "ajaapa" within us, we can hear that Shabad reverbating within us.

Further on the bani says: Anter Jot, Niranter Bani, Sachay Sahib siu liv laee.

This means, when the practice of Nam, has been firmly established in our minds, we then hear that Anhad Bani, and have the darshan of the Jot of Wahiguru, and this very practice, produces real love in our hearts, for the true Lord Wahiguru.

Wahiguru has blessed us with this human form, so that we may light the Light of lights within us, and remove once and forever, the layers of agyanta and sins.

It is by listening this Shabad, that our sins, our karmas are burnt.

That is why, in Jap Ji Sahib, it is said: Suniyeh, dhook paap sabh naas.

Listen to this Shabad, and all your sins, which are the cause of your sorrow and pain, shall be wiped away .

So, the thing is we may light as many as lamps we want, even fill the whole universe with them if we want, and the sky becomes bright with that light.

But if we do not light our interior with the Light of Nam, we shall continue wandering in the darkness.

Our state now is, that if we close our eyes, we see darkness.

And our aim should be, we should gather so much dhan of Nam within us, that if we close our eyes, we can see that Akhand Jot of Wahiguru Akal Purukh within us.

It is our choice what we do, and how we use our lives.

So let us be wise, and use our lives, to fill ourselves with His Light, to the extent, that we become a living Lamp, of His Light.

And once this Light is lit within us, no wind can blow it, nor water extinguish it, neither here, nor in the next world, till the time comes, when our tiny little Lamp(soul), goes and merges in the huge Sun(Wahiguru), becoming one with it.

P.S: dear son, you seem to be quite young, yet your thinking is pure and quite ahead of your age. Can we know how old are you?

I totally agree with harsharan000 that is just a representation of wanting to change the darkness to light. A Jot is lit at Akhand Paaths aswell, many Singh do Sampath Paath aswell with the Jot lit and keep the Maryada.

Singhs back in the days use to light the Jot to show reverence to Waheguru, to remind them that he is the Ultimate Jot out of respect and it was also used to provide light for Akhand Paaths during that time, as they was no electricity.

But don't get confused, we are not doing Pooja of the Jot, nor doing a ritual, the Jot is just there to show reverence to Akaal Purukh. Many Mahapurshs have done Vichaar on this that have Brahmgian.

And also if you have pictures in your house of Guru Gobind Singh, it is ok as long as you don't do pooja of it.

I don't want to offend you or anything but I have been to Punjab, and alot of Gursikh piarae have been brainwashed by the Sikh Missionary Dhunda, And I have personally myself seen them removing Jots from Gurdwara Sahibs.

There is nothing wrong of lighting a Jot while doing Paath to show reverence out of Respect.

If you give piar to Waheguru, he will return it 100 times back.

Dear bhenjee Baba Tera Gola,

sorry, but from the user name the gender is not clear.

Any how, we must bear in mind exactly what is Wahiguru? Does not the Bani say that: even if there were hundered of moons and thousands of suns together, even then there would be utter darkness ...without a Guru

Now who or what is a Guru Sahiban? Is not He, the manifestation of Akal Purukh?

And so if the refulgence of the light from Akal Purukh is more than countless billions of suns and moons together , does He need the light of our lamp?

The example could be, like lighting a candle and showing it to the sun.....we may laugh at this situation, but that is how we people are.

In the same way, just as the sun who is the fountain of light and life for this planet earth, what would it gain with the light of a simple candle offered by us? Or even with a 1000 watts bulb.

You see, we humans do imbibe and copy unconscioussly what we see others doing.

It is we, who are in the darkness, who need the light of His Light, not He, who is the Light of all the existence, whether material, astral, causal, or even pure spiritual.

So please never ever think that , if we do not lit a lamp for Him, it is a disrespect to Him. We people are very narrow minded, we even judge Him with our limited perspective .....

We should take the support by walking in His Light, so that we may not suffer any loss.

But then, He is not something physical, how could we get benefitted from His Light?

The answer is, to walk with the guidance of His Bani, which works as Light at this our physical level for us.

And once we enter the spiritual realms, we should take the support there with His other swaroop, which is His real swaroop, and that is His Nam, His Shabad.

That is why the Bani says: Main andhuley kee tek, Tera Nam aadhaar. I am blind, your Nam is my support, your Nam is the stick with which I am able to walk.

Our Guru Sahibans are the embodiment of Akal Purukh, of Wahiguru, on the earth.

They are also the embodiment of His Bani, His chetanta, His consciousness, thus His Light.

So at physicall level, we get their guidance through their physicall Light, and on the spiritual realms, we get the guidance of their spiritual Light, which is Nam or Shabad, which is the real form of Guru Sahibans as well as of Akal Purukh.

You see, the physical body is not the Guru. It is the Shabad Power operative in them, which makes them so dear and lovely to us, otherwise their bodies are also made from the 5 tattwas, just as ours, which both of them will have to leave behind one day.

The Bani clearly says: Shabad Guru, Surat Dhun chela. The Shabad is the true Guru, and thus, the chela, the sikh, the disciple is also not the body, but the soul, which is just a particle, a musical note of that Akhand Bani, or Akhand Shabad Dhun, which is Wahiguru Himself.

Do lit the lamp, or not outside, but we must remember, that this our very body, is the temple where He is to be found.

The Bani says: Har mandir eheu sareer hae, gyan ratan pargat hoe. Means, this body is the living temple of God, where if we search for Him, we shall find the true gems of His knowledge, His Light.

So it is in the temple of this body where we should lit the lamp, with His Nam Simran.

Then this lamp will give that much Light, that, it will guide us back till Sach Khand.

May Wahiguru bless all.

Bhen jee,

you are most welcome. there is nothing sweeter than to talk or listen about Him.

It is my pleasure

There is no point in arguing.

Unless one reads & contemplates Gurbani there is no enlightenment.

The word "Tera" & "Gola" as per grammar are masculine gender.

'Teri' & 'Goli' are feminine.

So the correct username should be "Baba Teri Goli"

singhbj singh nobody is arguing, this is intellectual discussion. We are listening to each others vichaar which is a good thing.

Please don't make this post into an argument when it doesn't need to be.

harsharan000 has done brilliant vichaar lets all learn something from it.
