Guru Arjan Dev - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok

Guru is told to be father in the above examples.

So we need to have such feeling for Guru.

While some expiations based upon verse given below say that Fourth Master saw First Master the way mother sees the child/son.

Fact is that Fourth or Fifth Master never saw First Master nor such feeling be there in them so correct explation could be Guru(Akal) sees (form/light of Guru) Nanak like mother sees child/son.

vijaydeep bhai ji

I was composing a short reply to you on the Nirguna Sarguna thread when the forum crashed. I will get back to it later. Did not have a copy on a doc.

Let me ask you a question. Why do you persist in a literal personification of Guruji's message. When Guruji says,

ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਾਤਾ ॥
तूं मेरा पिता तूंहै मेरा माता ॥
Ŧūʼn merā piṯā ṯūʼnhai merā māṯā.
You are my Father, and You are my Mother.

Guru ji is not restricting the meaning to metaphors for human experiences and relationships. In the complete shabad, Guruji is saying this:

ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਵਜੀ ਵਾਧਾਈ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਤਾ ਬਿਖਾੜਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੪॥੨੪॥੩੧॥

Gur pūrai vajī vāḏẖā▫ī Nānak jiṯā bikẖāṛā jī▫o. ||4||24||31||
Through the Perfect Guru, congratulations are pouring in-Nanak is victorious on the arduous battlefield of life! ||4||24||31||
Notice how Guruji is expanding the relationship with each line of the Shabad. So the father mother brother friend connection extends to Protector, until God is his Honor and his understanding of God expands to fill the entire Universe of His Creation. Guru ji also compares life to a battlefield, knowing that his Sikhs will not assume that they should wake up every morning ready for a fight. And what is the point of all of this? The point is not to acknowledge "so correct explation could be Guru(Akal) sees (form/light of Guru) Nanak like mother sees child/son." That is too too too too narrow and limited.

The point is that upon reaching awareness, consciousness of the nature of God, in the voice of Guru Nanak, Guru Arjan Dev ji is telling us that when we Nām ḏẖi▫ā▫e mahā sukẖ pā▫i▫ā, we are no longer anxious and we are/become able to surmount the arduous challenges of life. Celebration then should be our focus.
