Guru ji, is within and never existed outside.

[ravneet_sb]

The body is the city where the Lord dwells. Through the Guru's teachings, the mind is guided and imbued with the Lord, Har Har.

Lets Understand context and Application.

Lord is a unrealised word, if it dwells everywhere than why there is a human bias, all humans are creation of same so called lord, and HOW bias, Why Bias, Where Bias, When Bias, Who Bias. If LORD is there in all. Please reflect to introspect Lets treat all creation as ONE lord.

Within the body-lake, the Name of the Lord has manifested. In the home of the heart, the temple of the Lord God is realized.

By using the truth guru, one always obtains peace



The truth guru gives the vision of the Invisible (God)



The external worshipper manmukh does not understand
The resolve of former is here, that humans forget Universal Consciousness and Mind gets a shadow of Man Made Conscious construct and forgets this Oneness and Universal Consciusness which results in Suffering amd Pain. So the suffering and pain has a positive aspect, thatt is the only opportunity when ONE remembers and reconnect with ONENESS and Universal Consciousness.


and goes searching outside (for external gurus, external divinity)

it is from sggs. I translated it. you find the rest

 

[swarn bains]

SGGS Page 1400 All-powerful guru carries those across in today’s age; who get in trance by listening to guru’s teaching. it is from sggs bhat bani . it is not my interpretation. look at it.

 

[swarn bains]

Like our Gurus, only those who are able to spiritually elevate themselves to certain higher threshold, can attune to this wisdom and receive it. Gurus have given us this wisdom as Gur Bani. AGGS is all Gurbani but some of us call it Sabad Guru as well - in my opinion, it is a misnomer: I can be wrong as I am just a learner like many of us. what about this.those who are able to spiritually elevate to certain higher threshold can attune to this wisdom. you mean that other than ten gurus, anyone else cannot rise to this level. what about sabad guru a misnomer. you are getting close to me. thank you good work

 

[swarn bains]

GURU IS THAT ENTITY WHO TEACHES GUR (LESSON)

I do not know about Nanak whether he had any kind of guru , but the rest nine gurus had a living guru, that is how the divine knowledge got transferred from gurus mind to the follower.

The tenth guru did not find any worthy living being to become a guru, so he transferred guruship to sggs and whether he wrote or the sikhs write that sabad is the guru. What is sabad in the first place. I had a chance to talk to head granthi of Damdma sahib. He said the entire sggs is a sabad. If one does not reherse the sabad, his or her mind does not straighten up and stabalize. Stable mind is the requirement to grasp the teaching from sabad guru. If the devotee does not reherse the sabad guru whole heartedly. It does not sink in his or her mind and he is not effected by it.it is the mind which has to grasp it. There are three things in sggs which are most significant , ei you, your mind and gurus teaching (sabad) The rules laid out in sggs to become divine are, selfless love, dedication, humility and sabad or gurus teaching. hindrance from becoming divine are doubt or double mindedness and slandering ohers. Rest is human code of conduct. I might have read SGGS at least one hundred times and still could not comprehend sabad guru.

If nine gurus had living guru as their guide, then why can’t I have a living guru. Unless the nine gurus had only sabad guru, which I cannot comment on. Looking at transfer of gurus spiritual power into the next guru happened through the living guru. Such as Nanak hugged Lehna and transferred divinity into his mind and made him Angad. Same way eighth guru said that next guru is at Bakala and transferred the power into ninth guru from Delhi.

Spirituality is the process to acquire divine knowledge. Divinity is the final stage of opening the mind. Sikhs read path more than any other community. Can anyone tell me, how many sikhs became divine within the last 100 years. One way to question others is to deny others idea but not realizing anything. The other is understanding and objecting and guiding the ignorant like me. Please guide me.

From sggs page 1400 I posted on this site. It appears to me that the student is communicating with his guru. That is why I put it here. If someone can translate and explain this to me any different I will be very thankful. My guru read sggs every day and then guided me. I read four pages of sggs every morning and pray to my Lord to forgive me for my ill deeds
Living guru and sabad guru are both gurus.what I did wrong not following sabad guru which I do not understand. If anyone on this site knows sabad guru and can guide me to follow sabad guru, I will be very thankful. Those who want sabad guru as their guru, I have no objection to it. Then if I have a living guru, what is so bad. Please advise and guide me by explaining what is sabad guru. Thank you all for your divine teaching. God bless all.

 

[swarn bains]

come on scholars guide me.scholars like seeker know all about sabad guru, be kind and address my short coming

 

[A_seeker]

Living guru and sabad guru are both gurus

Ego and a sense of superiority play havoc in the individual ,Ultimately it is the Ego that is the barrier . The elimination of the ego is the whole of sprituality ..

Are you ready to accept a 'living guru' if he can help eliminate this ego in a concrete way ???

 

[swarn bains]

firstly yes and then you did not guide me of sabad guru

ਗੀਤ ਹਿਜਰ ਦੇ

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਅੰਦਰ ਤਲਬ ਲੱਗੀ, ਗੀਤ ਹਿਜਰ ਦੇ ਨਿੱਤ ਗਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਮੇਰੇ ਨੈਣਾਂ ਕੂ ਤੂੰ ਦਿਸਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਲੁਕੇ ਹੋਏ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਨਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਪਾਣੀ ਵਗਿਆ ਮੁੜ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦਾ, ਪਰ ਯਾਦਾਂ ਨਿੱਤ ਮੁੜ ਆਵਣ

ਚੇਤੇ ਕਰਦਾ ਮੈਂ ਬੇਤਾਬ ਹੋਇਆ,ਹਰ ਸਾਹ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ਧਿਆਵਣ

ਸੁਣਨ ਵਾਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਜੱਗ ਵਿਚ ਕੋਈ, ਸਖੀ ਕਿਹਨੂੰ ਆਖ ਸੁਣਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਲੱਗੀ ਇਸ਼ਕ ਦੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਦਿਲ ਸਾੜੇ, ਲੱਗੀ ਮੌਤ ਦੀ ਸਾੜੇ ਗੋਡੇ ਲੱਤਾਂ

ਸਾਰੀ ਦਨੀਆਂ ਦੂਜਿਆਂ ਮੱਤ ਦੇਵੇ, ਮੈਂ ਹਾਰਿਆ ਸੁਣਦਾ ਨਿੱਤ ਮੱਤਾਂ

ਰੋਗੀ ਜੋਗੀ ਪੰਡਤ ਮੁਲਾਣਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ, ਦਿਲ ਚੀਰ ਕੇ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਵਖਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਤਨਹਾਈ ਵਿਚ ਜੱਗ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਤੂੰ, ਪਿਆਰ ਸਭ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਪਾ ਬੈਠਾ

ਸਭ ਦੇ ਦਿਲ ਵਿਚ ਵਸਦਾ ਤੂੰ, ਪਰ ਮੁਰਸ਼ਦ ਨੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਸਮਝਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ

ਮਿਲਣਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਘੱਲ ਦੇਵੀਂ, ਨਿੱਤ ਨੈਣਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਨੀਰ ਬਹਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਤੂੰ ਸਭ ਦਾ ਸਾਰੀ ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਤੇਰੀ, ਪਰ ਮੇਰਾ ਤੇ ਤੂੰ ਹੀ ਹੈਂ ਇਕੋ

ਬੇਸਮਝ ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਬੇਵਫਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਿਲਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਲਿਖੋ

ਹੋਰ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਸਖੀਆਂ ਨੇ, ਦੱਸ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਣ ਪਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਤੇਰੀ ਸਖੀਆਂ ਤਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸੁਹਾਗ ਡਾਢਾ, ਵਿਚ ਚਿੱਤ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਸਦਾ ਤੂੰ

ਮੈਂ ਮਨਮੁੱਖ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਚਿੱਤ ਨ ਚੇਤੇ, ਪਰ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਸਭ ਦਾ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਤੂੰ

ਸਈਓ ਰੁੱਸ ਗਿਆ ਯਾਰ ਨਿਮਾਣੀ ਦਾ, ਰੁੱਸੇ ਮਾਹੀ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਨਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਇਸ਼ਕ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਉਚੀ ਮੰਜ਼ਿਲ, ਇਸ਼ਕ ਕਮਾਇਆ ਤਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਰੱਬ ਪਾਇਆ

ਇਸ਼ਕ ਆਸ਼ਿਕਾਂ ਗ੍ਹੁੜਤੀ ਏ, ਹਕੀਕੀ ਆਸ਼ਿਕਾਂ ਇਸ਼ਕ ਚੋਂ ਰੱਬ ਪਾਇਆ

ਮੇਰਾ ਯਾਰ ਏ ਮਹਿਬੂਬ ਮੇਰਾ, ਤੱਕ ਸੂਰਤ ਗਲਵੱਕੜੀ ਪਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

ਹਰ ਸ਼ੈ ਤੋਂ ਨੇੜੇ ਵਸਦਾ ਤੂੰ , ਬੈਂਸ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਨਹੀਂ ਦੱਸਦਾ ਤੂੰ

ਜਾਪ ਤਾਪ ਨ ਸਜਦਾ ਕੋਈ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਥੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਨੱਸਦਾ ਤੂੰ

ਮਨ ਅੰਦਰ ਛੁਪਿਆ ਬੈਠਾ ਏਂ, ਛੁਪੇ ਹੋਏ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਨਾਵਾਂ ਮੈਂ

 

[Jaycdp]

Guruji
Guruji always existed in this earth as the father of humanity, Ek omkar sath nam.
But as the Gurukul takes birth and devided into many religion the iron age or kaliyuga starts
Guru nanak came to Bharath Panjab and explained this secret knowledge to the highest of high quality sikh souls( purest) and that is not todays sikhs
Guruji was talking about jana gana mana adhi nayak
That is the paramathma shiva the jyothi bindu
But paramathma cannot become a guru without the seed soul become equal to him
HIndus did not understand this
The world did not understood this
The guru is already here and teaching highest of high seed to become equal to him and the family will follow him
So the guru is not just the guru of panjab or prajapitha of just bharath
Here it is the father of humanity and father of all the religion.

 

[swarn bains]

religion and guruji are two different thoughts and teachings

 

[A_seeker]

As the title of this discussion "Guruji is within and never existed Outside" implies to the fact that the Guru "outer" guru --can be helpful only in finding the inner guru.

That is all.Once the the outer guru has helped you to find the inner guru,the function of outer guru is no more .

You cannot reach to SAT through a Guru .You can reach only to the inner Guru through a Guru -- and this inner Guru will lead you the truth ...

The Outer Guru or the Granth is just a representative , a subsitute .

So all that Guru do is to push you from your logical mind to intutive force , from your argumentive mind to your trusting guide ...

 

[swarn bains]

well done

who is that guru he admires so much

 

[GurpreetSinghShinh]

A Guru is a Speaking Voice of a Silent God. Guru is reflection of God in creation. A Guru has complete Oneness with God at all levels. A Guru can manifest any attribute of God, if God so Wills.

Now, about Guru of Sikhs and Nanak.

Lets look at few relevant verses from SGGS:
1. Nanak Jug Jug Gur Gopal
Nanak is saying his Guru in all ages is Gopal, other name of Hari.

2. Sabad Guru Surat Dhun Chela
Here Nanak goes deeper inside, and amusingly feels, its really his Surat, the Attention, which is real Chela and who is the Guru?, the Sabad which Surat attunes to as a Dhun. Sabad means the Power of God which devotee hears as a Sound in meditation. Now that vibrating God-Sound is the one the Surat should tune to as a disciple. In fact, this Sound has some connection with even our thoughts. Maybe the thoughts are also derived from a Sound.

3. Bani Guru Guru hai Bani
Bani kahe Sevak Jan Maane
Partakh Guru Nistare
Same thing, but stress is now on the Deh-Dhari (Partakh) Guru, the Human Guru who embodies the Sabad Guru, applicable to all times.

4. Aad Ant Eke Avatara
Soyi Guru Samjhiyo Hamara
Fact is, Gobind never addressed himself as Nanak, because he was in a different league, a league of its own. Here Gobind is clarifying that his Guru is The Absolute Almighty God, none else. In fact, Gobind and Hari are synonymous.

5. Gobind ke Gun gaao, sadho Gobind ke Gun gayo...
This is the distinction between Saints and Saint-Hari
