I think at this point we should ask ourselves, why is there so much confusion? Why do so many scholars say that sants do not exist?I think there are two reasons for this:1) To prevent people from being misled by a fake sant. - This viewpoint shows a lack of sharda on the individual's part. Fake sants existsed during the Guru's time as well. Recall Sajjan Thag, who masquaraded as a holy man to steal people's belongings. Nobody has any right to mislead people about Gurmat Marg. Those who do this for another's "own good" are acting in haumai.2) To deliberately mislead people as sants teach things that are different from the so called scholar's own ideology. These "scholars" often use the excuse in number one. Examples of such liars and underminers of the Guru's teachings include Singh Sabha International and Singh Sabha Canada (who attempt to use the good name of the Singh Sabha movement to portray themselves as reformers when they are anything but that).The following video shows immense nindya of the Guru's sants, gurmukhs such as Baba Gurbachan Singh ji: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-2051234627665042090&q=nanaksar&ei=9_Q5SMqTJIGKqAPbtJzwAw&hl=enThe video highlights the fanatical, narrow minded aspects of these dangerous anti-panthic groups.
