Very interesting exchange.When I read Gurbani (AGGS) and make gradual progress along its pages from 1 towards 1430, I experience (metaphorically speaking) a jolt with a sense of amazement by looking at its amazing organization, structure and locking numbering system to block attempts by vested interests to inject distortions. Further, then look at the wisdom that is embedded in it, and the raags and "Ghars" in which our Gurus have scripted the entire Bani and the 5th Guru have tirelessly compiled it along with his on writings with the help of Bhai Gurdas Ji in AGGS. 5th Guru revered it as " Poothi Parmashwer Ka Thaoo".Not only this. To protect its sanctity, the 5th Guru did not hesitate for a moment and accepted the inhuman treatment and torture that was inflicted on him. Please try to picture someone being roasted on fire and boiled in hot water!!!!!!!Now what surprises me as I read the above exchange that a living human being who relies on the same divine book -- -- AGGS to pick and choose its Sabad to give out to its devotees is being declared as Guru and the AGGS is being relegated to a lower threshold. it is unthinkable to suggest that the one (living human being) who relies for his spiritual wisdom on AGGS is considered superior to the same AGGS on which he depends .Gurbani and many other religious books talk about Ridhis and Sidhis ( mystic powers); the living person may have have mystic powers to help people heal or do other miracles. it is like for the sake of material awards we decide to declare some one Guru. Gurbani is pathways to transcend all such worldly infatuations; if the living Guru is able to fulfil our material desires than he is a worldly Guru not a Spiritual Guru -- Guru nonetheless.
