Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
No.3
In this thread I feel via Bani its amply been that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was God’s chosen one. And that Guruji was not Waheguru.
Our Gurus attribute their Bani to Guru Nanak and this is a pointer to the continuity in Sikhism and that the Jyot of Guru Nanak Dev Ji passed onto all our Gurus.
We must realize the difference Waheguru and Guru. The difference becomes abs clear via Mool Mantra and Jaap Sahib.
The following stanzas also show the difference:
(Ang 819-18, Bilawal Mahall 5)
kaho naanak kirpaa bha-ee parabh bha-ay sahaa-ee. ||2||15||79||
Says Nanak, God has showered me with His Mercy; He has become my help and support. ||2||15||79||
Ang 820-2, Bilawal Mahalla 5)
man baaNchhat fal diti-an naanak balihaaree. ||2||16||80||
I have been blessed with the fruits of my mind's desires; Nanak is a sacrifice to Him. ||2||16||80||
