I mean all this does is give you pump and swell up your EGO. Does the whole Sangat need to know who gives what? Guru Ji is all knowing he knows who gives what; we don’t need to tell him. The ardas is a prayer asking for Guru Ji’s blessing and it should be done in humility. I mean the list went on for ages it took like 7 minutes to say everyone’s names. If we were asking Guru Ji for Panthic things it would be worth spending an extra 7 minutes on the ardas. But I thought to hear “PUMP” was just a waste of my time. We need to chat to our local committees and stop this practice, because it is anti-Gurmat.
Gurmat view:
The Gurmukh praises the Naam, and the fire of egotism is extinguished. -Ang 20-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
They meditate forever on the Lord, Har, Har, and they wash off the filth of egotism. - Ang 28-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The self-willed manmukhs wander around lost, but they do not know the True Guru. They are inwardly attached to egotism. - Ang 29-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Acting in egotism, peace is not obtained. - Ang 222-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Tell me - why are you so proud of your body and wealth? They shall vanish in an instant; O madman, this is how the world is wasting away, in egotism and pride. - Ang 1273-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
