In the ninth quality of a speaker, Harman Singh explains the concept of avingo, meaning to not sit with your back curved (sit straight). This concept also extends to the speaker’s mindset on their topic of discourse. The speaker should be clear in their own mind what they are talking about, so that when they speak about it, the listener(s) can have the best chance of understanding the concept.
This video is part of a 28 part series on the ideal 14 qualities that a Srota (listener) and 14 qualities that a Bakta (speaker) should adopt, so that both the speaker and listener(s) can best absorb Katha (discourse) and experience Naam (connection to the Divine) through it.
These qualities are taught by Guru Hargobind Sahib (Sixth Sikh Guru), which are written by Kavi Santokh Singh and are also mentioned in Gur Bilas Paatshaahi 6. With Guru Ji’s Kirpa (Grace), we can learn and adopt these qualities in our life, whether if it as a listener of Katha, or if we are Parchariks or aspiring Parchariks (educators).
