Infinite Lord Remain Unwritten
'Word of God' is the Essence of Sikhism. It is the unspoken Speech of Lord.
It can be felt and understood only by His Own Grace. Nobody can make claims to make others grasp the 'Word Of God', 'the Ultimate Truth'- 'Gurbani'.
Today I am going to share the following words of Guru Ji with those who are interested in Gurbani. In this Shabad Guru Ji describes the uselessness of reading and writting all the writtings if the Mind is engrossed in Maya and Worldly Pride. To understand the Unspoken Speech of God, ONE HAS TO DIE IN 'THE WORD OF GOD':
