Article: Why children do not listen to parents by Dr Sarbjit Singh
You state “Daily Path we do at such a speed, that we ourselves cannot listen.” It is hard to appreciate that one cannot hear what one is reading. When one reads Bani it is pertinent one will end up hearing. What speed do you propose that we should read daily path? How do you know the speed is correcRead more

What speed do you propose that we should read daily path? How do you know the speed is correct?

Thanks for your response. I studied as you advised. In your write out before the Verse ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ … you stated I quote: “Most of us just perform the rituals only.

Thanks for your response. I studied as you advised.
In your write out before the Verse ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ … you stated I quote:
“Most of us just perform the rituals only. Very rarely we introspect to find out, whether we are Sikhs or just the so-called Sikhs.”
The key message preceding the Verse ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ … is that “most of us perform rituals because we do not introspect”.
Hence the verse quoted must substantiate this key message i.e. we are ritualistic because we do not introspect.
The verse is interpret as follows … One is educated (ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ) and is a far-sighted (wise) Pandit (ਸੋ ਪੰਡਿਤੁ ਬੀਨਾ), contemplates (ਕਰੇ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ) the Guru’s Shabad (ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ). That person introspects (ਅੰਦਰੁ ਖੋਜੈ) finds the true essence (ਤਤੁ ਲਹੈ), and finds the Door of Salvation (i.e. find the path to salvation). Essentially meaning “it is through contemplating the Guru’s Shabad one will find the essence and the path to Salvation”.
The verses seem to be talking about one thing which you are portraying to verses to mean something else.
How do you relate the ‘contemplating Gur Shabad, finding true essence and thus the path to salvation’ to ‘being ritualistic because of not introspecting’?

ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ ਸੋ ਪੰਡਿਤੁ ਬੀਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਕਰੇ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਖੋਜੈ ਤਤੁ ਲਹੈ ਪਾਏ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰੁ ॥ (੬੫੦) It seems based on the verse, you blame the problem to be that the parents claim to be religious but are not and merely perform rituals.

ਸੋ ਪੜਿਆ ਸੋ ਪੰਡਿਤੁ ਬੀਨਾ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਕਰੇ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਖੋਜੈ ਤਤੁ ਲਹੈ ਪਾਏ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰੁ ॥ (੬੫੦)
It seems based on the verse, you blame the problem to be that the parents claim to be religious but are not and merely perform rituals. What evidence is there of this?
In absence of evidence how did you arrive at this conclusion? Further what evidence is there that parents who are REALLY religious … how can one measure if someone is religious or not? What is your measure of a parent being religious?
Now to the verse. The verse is stating that a wise person will CONTEMPLATE Gurbani. The real CRUX of the Shabad from which you quote the verse is that the problem is, one is engrossed in CORRUPTION, EGO, LOVE OF MAYA (ਦੂਜੈ). The solution the Shabad proposed is (1) CONTEMPLATE the Shabad and (2) recite NAAM and the GOAL is SALVATION (ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰੁ).
The verse and the Shabad has nothing to do with religious formalities/rituals which you seem to interpret. If at all the child should be taught about ills of CORRUPTION/ EGO/ LOVE OF MAYA, which have nothing to do with religious formalities. How did you arrive at your conclusion from the verse?

Thanks for the information you sent via the links. I noted that your article is essentially an English version of that Punjabi version at the links provided albeit condensed. In your reply to my question you have essentially stated the parent perspective of why child does not listen. I would like to state that children claim that “parents don’t listen to them”. Have you thought about this? I have referred to the internet and read some articles on this matter.

The points covered in this article are primarily to do with parents.
• Parents talk without getting attention of the child
• Parents speak in a loud tone
• Parents use words child does not like
• Parents lecture child
• Parents compel the child
• Parents repeat reminders and requests
• Parents are not good role models
• Parents should at child when child does not listen
• Parents have unresolved issues with child
• Child may have medical condition
You do not seem to address the issue from the perspective of the child. Why not?
I also note you have attempted to use Gurbani to explain the situation. This I will address this in more detail through further questions.
