Sant Singh Maskeen Lecture Notes

Most of the shabads are written in Brij Bhasha. 80% of the shabads are in Brij Bhasha. Punjabi lipi has been found in the old caves of Russia.

Language is a cooking pot. What you eat is what is being cooked. You make and distribute food using a pot. But it cannot remove hunger. The questions is what does the pot contain. Hunger is removed by food, not by the pot.

You can have a brass pot, a gold pot, or a clay pot. It is not important.

Sanskrit, Arabi, Farsi - Jaap Sahib is the mix of three.

PERSIAN
IRAN - Firdaus, Hafiz.
