| Dear Tejwant, This is NOT to prove that Jesus was the best among the sages but to say that in Jesus, I found God. Jesus isn’t a sage or guru, but God incarnated in human flesh, to redeem us from the power of sin and death. By the way, these are my personal views, expressed here as an ex-Sikh to account my experience in search for God. No offence is intended to any practising Sikh or any other religion for that matter.Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/christianity/470-why-do-i-believe-jesus-ex.html Sikhism teaches that Gurus can lead us to God. I beg to differ. The ten Gurus themselves were seekers of God, so how can they lead us to God? Only God can lead us to God. Gurus never made such claims, however Jesus - claimed to be One with God. So, Jesus can be the only Way to God. If we are to follow the viewpoint that Guru Nanak had a divine encounter submerged in a river then: Does this enable Guru Nanak to lead others to same encounter? What was the divine encounter for the remaining nine Gurus? Through what mechanism the “jyote” was transferred from one Guru to the next? In the Bible, witnesses abound, Baptism of Jesus in the Jordon river followed by anointing of the Holy Spirit in the shape of a dove, and the voice from heaven declaring him to be God’s own beloved Son tantamount to irrefutable evidence that validates the authenticity of Jesus’ claim – “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=470 Regards Rajs
