The Meaning Of LifeDay 9 : True And FalseWords and GurusWhat are we here for? What should we be doing with our life?Recently, people have been criticising me, saying that tarna,or the punjabi verses I sing, are false words and shouldn’t besung on a Gurdwara stage. They don’t understanding whatfalse words, or kachee bani as Guru jee has called it, really is.Tarna is a translation of God’s Words in Guru Granth Sahib jeesung to music. If tarna is false then so is any explanation ofour Guru’s words. If false words are any that are not containedin Guru Granth Sahib jee, then does that mean we shouldn’tsay the names of 5 of our Guru’s, nor the names of the 4 sonsof Guru Gobind Singh jee nor the names of the beloved fivePunj Pyare because their names do not appear in Guru GranthSahib jee?I’m not criticising, we’ve already got enough problems in theKhalsa Panth without adding new ones. What about Ardas, itis not in Guru Granth Sahib jee so are they false words as well?No! Guru Gobind Singh jee said, “My Khalsa will worship theLight of the World, Jag-dee-jot, Guru Granth Sahib jee.”All tarna is, is an explanation of Guru Granth Sahib jee set tomusic to help people get closer to their Guru Granth Sahib jee.Explanations are not in Guru Granth Sahib jee, so does thatmean they are false words too? No! If you ban tarna then banKatha, or discourse, as well as it’s not in Guru Granth Sahib105
