[Randip Singh]

Are we saying the actual Guru's were God?

 

[simpy]

DO WE HAVE DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!

even after reading their own word-GURBANI.....................

IS A SOUL THAT IS MEARGED WITH GOD, limited to a human body ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IS DHAN DHAN SIRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB JI any different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[simpy]

By the Way,

RANDIP VEER, WHAT DO YOU THINK GURU SAHIB IS SAYING IN FOLLOWING LINES:

MANN TU JOT SAROOP HAI APNAA MOOL PAHCHAAN

Twenty-four hours a day, O Nanak, meditate on the Guru. ||4||16||67||

this can also be interpreted that God, Waheguru, is the ultimate Guru. the Guru (teacher) of Guru (Nanak). this is why Nanak meditates on Guru. why would Guru Nanak meditate on himself?

i believe that the Gurus spoke God's words, they contained the Jot of God, but since God has no form (nirankar) and is not born (ajoonee), it's difficult for me to conceive of them as God.

however, God is also beyond human understanding, so i am very willing to accept that i am wrong.

Jasleen Ji, read Gurbani that tells about Nirgun and Sargun.

like:

also note that Gurbani says
[SIZE=-1]Sabh gobind hai sabh gobind hai gobind bin nahee koee

meaning: everything is god, everything is god, without god, there is nothing.

so perhaps we're all god?
[/SIZE]

 

[Archived_Member1]

honestly, this is a difficult idea for me. sometimes i think Guru Nanak is Akal Purakh himself. other times, i believe he was more of a conduit, a direct line to Waheguru...

gurbani can be interpreted in so many ways... and i the literal interpretation is usually the least correct.

 

[simpy]

yes we are all the same ONE, only thing is that 'Iness' does not let us see that truth.

that's why Guru Is Telling Us:

Mann tu Jot Saroop Hai Apnaa Mool Pachaan

Waheguru

 

[simpy]

Key is WE NEED TO LIVE THE TRUTH along with interpreting or while reading/listening interpretations: THE TRUTH THAT GURBANI IS TELLING US AGAIN AND AGAIN.


WE NEED TO HAVE FAITH IN GURU JI'S WORD.


Dhan Dhan SATGUR Sache Paatshah De Bachan:


Matt Vich Ratan Javahar Manak Je Ik Gur Ki Sikh Suni.................
Sunya Mannyaa Mann Keeta Bhao.........................................

Then Guru Ji gives the Bhujhaee............................................. Antar Tere Nidhaan Hai.......... Then Nidhaan will tell what is right and what is wrong.............................



Waheguru Rakha

 

[simpy]

and i the literal interpretation is usually the least correct.

There is always infinite depth to it, but mostly at scholarly level the interpretations are correct. There are few words that scholars been debating about, but once one start understanding the deeper realities, one doesnt need to worry about that level anymore.

i think you are exactly right.

 

[Sikh80]

Nowhere in sikh philosphy we come across that Gurus[10 gurus] were God. It is only this uniqueness that sikhi is respected.
