Bhagat Kabir Ji on distinction


Recommended Posts

There was, a while ago, a rather heated debate about if its important to make a distinction between the names of god and those which are given to Hindu Deities. Which reading some really amazing articles by various intellects I came across a really good quote which should put the whole thing to rest.

the link is here, for some reason I'm unable to post the Gurmukhi so

A distinction is of the utmost importance, one needs to meditate on the Primordial Lord when using names such as Bhaugauti, Kalika, Ram etc. As Bhagat Ji beautifully put it, one is present in all, the other is only contained within himself.  

 

à¨à¨¬à©à¨° ਰਾਮ à¨à¨¹à¨¨ ਮਹਿ ਭà©à¨¦à© ਹ੠ਤਾ ਮਹਿ à¨à¨à© ਬਿà¨à¨¾à¨°à© ॥

Kabeer Raam Kehan Mehi Bhaedh Hai Thaa Mehi Eaek Bichaar ||

à¤à¤¬à¥à¤° राम à¤à¤¹à¤¨ महि भà¥à¤¦à¥ हॠता महि à¤à¤à¥ बिà¤à¤¾à¤°à¥ ॥

Kabeer, it does make a difference, how you chant the Lord's Name, 'Raam'. This is something to consider.

 

ਸà©à¨ ਰਾਮ੠ਸਭ੠à¨à¨¹à¨¹à¨¿ ਸà©à¨ à¨à¨à¨¤à¨à¨¹à¨¾à¨° ॥੧੯੦॥

Soee Raam Sabhai Kehehi Soee Kouthakehaar ||190||

सà¥à¤ रामॠसभॠà¤à¤¹à¤¹à¤¿ सà¥à¤ à¤à¤à¤¤à¤à¤¹à¤¾à¤° ॥१९०॥

Everyone uses the same word for the son of Dasrath and the Wondrous Lord. ||190||

 

à¨à¨¬à©à¨° ਰਾਮ੠ਰਾਮ à¨à¨¹à© à¨à¨¹à¨¿à¨¬à© ਮਾਹਿ ਬਿਬà©à¨ ॥

Kabeer Raamai Raam Kahu Kehibae Maahi Bibaek ||

à¤à¤¬à¥à¤° रामॠराम à¤à¤¹à¥ à¤à¤¹à¤¿à¤¬à¥ माहि बिबà¥à¤ ॥

Kabeer, use the word 'Raam', only to speak of the All-pervading Lord. You must make that distinction.

 

à¨à¨à© à¨à¨¨à©à¨à¨¹à¨¿ ਮਿਲਿ à¨à¨à¨ à¨à¨ ਸਮਾਨਾ à¨à¨ ॥੧੯੧॥

Eaek Anaekehi Mil Gaeiaa Eaek Samaanaa Eaek ||191||

à¤à¤à¥ à¤à¤¨à¥à¤à¤¹à¤¿ मिलि à¤à¤à¤ à¤à¤ समाना à¤à¤ ॥१९१॥

One 'Raam' is pervading everywhere, while the other is contained only in himself. ||191||

ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮ ਕਹਨ ਮਹਿ ਭੇਦੁ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਮਹਿ ਏਕੁ ਬਿਚਾਰੁ ॥

कबीर रामै राम कहु कहिबे माहि बिबेक ॥

Kabeer, use the word 'Raam', only to speak of the All-pervading Lord. You must make that distinction.

    • 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.
