in one of your past answers about dancing, I see u say it is not okay to dance in the presence of the Sri Guru Granth saib, why is this. I think its because u think that is god.

Did Guru Nanak not teach u anything. He made the point of saying that god is everywhere. Not contained in a book, as GOD can NOT be described in words only

The gurdwara is the door of the Guru. It is not our form of worship to dance in the Gurdwara. Have you ever seen the Sadh Sangat dancing to Gurubani in the Gurdwara?

It is not a question of God not being everywhere....the Dervishes whirl in ecstatic devotion just as the Sufi's dance and sing with God's love...we usually sit quietly in the Gurdwara and let the meditative energy pass through us beyond the expression of our body. We are just not so material.

Hey! Go ahead and dance.Have fun and and feel yourself expanded into the love of God. Guru Nanak says" Guru's true Sikh sings, Guru's true Sikh dances, Guru's true Sikh sings...FIXING HIS MIND ON THE LORD". Can you do that.

When you come to the Gurdwara, give it all a break and experience yourself transported beyond the physical body into the other 9 bodies that you contain. Why so fixated in that one Body in the Gurdwara?
