| |  | | | Nanak is The Guru, Nanak is The Lord Himself
gur kw sbdu n mytY koie ] (864-19, goNf, mÚ 5) No one can erase the Word of the Guru's Shabad. gurunwnku nwnku hir soie ]4]7]9] (864-19, goNf, mÚ 5) Nanak is the Guru; Nanak is the Lord Himself. ||4||7||9||
These are the Vaaks from Guru Arjan dev ji maharaj. I am not able to proceed further as the meaning assigned to the 'tuk' does not fit in well with the conceptual framework Of sikhi that I had the chance to build on this forum. Frankly speaking., I have not yet had one full reading of the Granth sahib ji whom I hold in high esteem.
It was in a post of SPN that I was reading that unlike other religions sikhism does not preach that their Gurus are God. But here the things do not appear to me in sync. with the above.

Is Guru Nanak dev ji stated to be Creator?
or
The translation is not correct
or
My appreciation Of the translation is faulty.
I would also be grateful if someone can tell as to in which year the line was authored or it was during the compilation of the Granth sahib. Did the earlier 3 gurus not observe this.?

Waheguru Rakha | Thanks for your reply. However, it answers the question only in a round about manner. You have treated all the guru sahibaan as different. They are 'one jot' as they had the same spirit hence treating the gurus as separate entities/gurus in the present context may not be ok.
Secondly, it is stated in Gurbani itself that the Creator Himself cannot take the route of Incarnation. I presume that the translation is incorrect. If we take the translation at face value the entire edifice of sikhi will have to undergo a change. Guru Nanak ji cannot be God/creator as he has stated many things in the eulogisation of the Almighty.One cannot go on praising oneself.It becomes superfluous and redundant and meaningless. Incidently it is in Gurbani that it is stated that the Creator creates Himself. If we take Guru Nanak as the Creator the above does not stand to truth as Guru nanak did not create HIMself.
I think it would be better if some third person guides us. So far as I am concerned I take it as a case of wrong translation /interpretation.
The following line from japu ji sahib shows that Guru nanak ji cannot be the creator. siq suhwxu sdw min cwau ] (4-16, jpu, mÚ 1) He is Beautiful, True and Eternally Joyful.
and jw krqw isrTI kau swjy Awpy jwxY soeI ] (4-19, jpu, mÚ 1) The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows.
Let some senior member may help and guide us. I would reiterate that it is only a case of misinterpretation. |

It is neither duality nor a worry,It is to get a confirmation that baba nanak ji was not creator HIMself. Kindly let someone else also opine and let it be a place where we can remove doubts and obtain clarification.Kindly do not block a discussion..
Even in the following line there is a clue that Guru sahib were not the creator. ikv kir AwKw ikv swlwhI ikau vrnI ikv jwxw ] (4-19, jpu, mÚ 1)Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=19100 How can we speak of Him?
