Hi guys,
Recently I have been talking to a Singh and he asked me if I would dance to gurbani Kirtan. At first, I thought NO that would be disrespect. But then I remembered that sometimes I would be so fixated on the Kirtan that I would start to move with it. I would be lost in it to the point I wouldn't care what I was doing. It would feel natural to just move with it.
Then I thought about it as I talked to him. Since we sing Gurbani, which is a form of self expression, why not dance? Which is another form of expression. Both a gift from God. Both used to express love. Why not dance for God, I thought?
He said he doesn't like the dance because he wants to concentrate on something different, which makes sense. The gurbani would then create these shockwaves inside him.
I replied in agreement but added that sometimes those shockwaves would be so intense [for me] that you just can't help but move with it.
I want to know what you guys think. Give your sincere and honest opinions. BTW dance could mean any type of movement, I guess.
Thanks
Bhagat Singh
