What is the purpose of repeating Paath over and over again if you don’t understand it?
Theres a bful story my sister once told me. A Sikh brother asks Guruji why do i repeat or even listen to the sermons or Guru ki Bani if i dont understand anything, its of no use to me or anyone.

Theres a bful story my sister once told me.
A Sikh brother asks Guruji why do i repeat or even listen to the sermons or Guru ki Bani if i dont understand anything, its of no use to me or anyone.
Guruji asked the man to pick an empty wicker basket from nearby.
This basket was used to carry coals.
He asked the brother to fill it with water from the river n bring it to him every day for the next 10 days and then he will be given his answer.
The brother said but its a futile exercise, Guruji asked him to do as he was told to get the answer.
Every day for the next 10 days the brother did as he was told expecting to get his answer.
After the 10th day, the man was very happy and satisfied that he has completed his task and will finally get the answer.
So Guruji asked him, did u fill the water every day.
He said yes.
Did u manage to bring the water to me from the river.
The brother said no.
Did u see what happened to the wicker basket in these 10 days.
Thats when he observed, the basket was no longer black from the coals but shining like new
Guruji said, just like the water cleaned the soot in the basket, our minds n hearts and souls get cleansed by listening to Gurbani, even if we dont understand it, the Guru’s words does its job irrespective of our knowledge and understanding.

This is the same reason why its not allowed in kitchens too.
Also because religious places are abundant with positive energy.
One of the ways of absorbing this energy is by the base of our feet.
When we enter the Gurdwara Sahib bare feet after cleaning the feet, we are stepping into the energy zone and letting the positivity inside our body.
Hence we walk barefeet in the Gurdwara Sahib.
