WANTED TO GIVE APPRICATION TO THE EFFORTS THAT ARE PUT ONTO THE YOUTH FORUM!

I JUST HAD A GENERAL QUESTION; IM REALLY EAGER TO TRY TO LEARN PUNJABI AND SO THEN I CAN DO PAAT; BUT BECAUSE I WORK TWO JOBS AND FIND IT HARD TO FIND TIME TO TRY TO LEARN. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SUCH AN INTEREST IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT SIKHISM AND LEARNING ABOUT PAAT; WHAT IF BECAUSE I DONT HAVE TIME TO LEARN BUT I READ THE PAAT IN THE ENGLISH TRANSLATED PART DOES THAT EQUAL OUT TO BEING THE SAME AS DOING PAAT? *(LIKE ITS CONUFSING, IF I DO PAAT BUT IN ENGLISH IS IT STILL CONSIDERED DOING PAAT?)* IVE ALWAYS BEEN CONFUSED ON THIS QUESTION AND JUST WANTED A MORE FRANK (YES OR NO) AND EXPLANATION BEHIND IT ANSWER. SO IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH GETTING A MORE STRAIGHT-FORWARD ANSWER ON THAT; IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRICATED.

Sat Siri Akaal. Many Sikhs --especially non-Indian-- cannot read Gurmukhi. Do your paath in English, that's fine. The sound current is different, but it still works. I hope you make time to learn Gurmukhi, but meanwhile, learn the paath this way. Guru ang sang,
