| | | | | re: Is Ardas Offered To Shri Guru Granth Sahib, or to God? Ardas is done to the True Guru. Here are some references about True Guru from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji:- ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਬਾਣੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਬਾਣੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਸਾਰੇ ॥ बाणी गुरू गुरू है बाणी विचि बाणी अम्रितु सारे ॥ Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/hard-talk/23430-ardas-offered-shri-guru-granth-sahib.html Baṇī gurū gurū hai baṇī vicẖ baṇī amriṯ sāre. The Word, the Bani is Guru, and Guru is the Bani. Within the Bani, the Ambrosial Nectar is contained. ਗੁਰੁ ਬਾਣੀ ਕਹੈ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਜਨੁ ਮਾਨੈ ਪਰਤਖਿ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਿਸਤਾਰੇ ॥੫॥ गुरु बाणी कहै सेवकु जनु मानै परतखि गुरू निसतारे ॥५॥ Gur baṇī kahai sevak jan mānai parṯakẖ gurū nisṯāre. ||5|| If His humble servant believes, and acts according to the Words of the Guru's Bani, then the Guru, in person, emancipates him. ||5||
Now, do you want to know what is Bani ? ਅਨਹਤ ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਾਣੀ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਭੋਗੋ ॥ अनहत बाणी गुर सबदि जाणी हरि नामु हरि रसु भोगो ॥ Anhaṯ baṇī gur sabaḏ jāṇī har nām har ras bẖogo. I have come to know the unstruck sound current and the Word of the Guru's Shabad; I enjoy the sublime essence of the Lord, the Lord's Name. ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਜੋਗੋ ॥੩੪॥ Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=23430 कहै नानकु प्रभु आपि मिलिआ करण कारण जोगो ॥३४॥ Kahai Nānak parabẖ āp mili▫ā karaṇ kāraṇ jogo. ||34|| Says Nanak, God Himself has met me; He is the Doer, the Cause of causes. ||34|| | | The following members appreciate Astroboy Ji for the above message. | |
