Virinder ji
A couple of concerns about your above post.
If you are asking a question or looking for clarifications of either Mahan Kosh or Gurbani, then please revise your comments so that it is clear that you are asking for information and clarification.
Otherwise the connections between the Mahan Kosh definitions and The Gurbani you have cited are not clear at all.
Let me give you my own take: Guru Granth is never incoherent or contradictory. When it appears that way it is the result of our own limitations. Systematic reading and reading of the parts where WE are confused often leads to clear understanding in time. Also it helps to consult with knowledgeable people.
Now my question for you - Please, by posting the entire shabads and giving your own explanation, explain where in Sri Guru Granth Sahib -- or specifically in Sriraag, Guruji says that " there is no difference between a spiritually enlightened person and God?"
I checked the first citation you gave from Ang 59 line 7 -- Where does it say anything about a spiritually enlightened person is no different from God? I can't find it. It could be because I am myself a moorath. Here it is,
