[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 199949, member: 138"] Harry ji, Great quote. Please allow me to have the audacity to change it a bit. "A Great man makes others feel [B][U]EVEN GREATER and BIGGER[/U][/B], not small". The reason I had the courage to do that is to share some historical facts that I am sure you and many others of this wonderful forum are aware of. Guru Gobind Singh,our 10th Guru sacrificed his Dad, his four Sons, added his Dad, Guru Teg Bahadur's Gurbani in the SGGS, our only Guru. Many claim that Guru Gobind added his Dad's Gurbani only at the end which is commonly known as " MAHALEI NOVEN DEI SALOK"- Saloks from the ninth Guru on page 1426 of the SGGS. However, the actual heading is: ਸਲੋਕ ਮਹਲਾ ੯ ॥ Shalok, Ninth Mehl. I wish they had studied the whole SGGS before making that claim and still hope if they have not done that yet to do so now because we, as Sikhs never stop learning till our last breath. The reason I commented on this one is that our visionary Guru added his Dad's Gurbani in many parts of the SGGS, our only Guru where ever he found He found is appropriate not just at the end. And the most important thing is that he ended all Saloks with the Nom de Plume, Nanak as all other Gurus did in the SGGS as a very good principle to avoid tampering. They wrote the name of the Bhagats at the end to give them the full credit of their idea based thought process which passed the very high benchmark set by Guru Nanak. This is also the most important reason to look at the Dasam Granth with one's jaundiced eyes where the writers call him PATSHAEE DASVIN (The 10th Patshah), which is sheer meism and arrogance, the two traits our 10th Guru did not possess. The above claim becomes more bewildering because the word PATSHAH is only used for Ik Ong Kaar in the SGGS, our only Guru. Our Gurus only gave themselves numbers, nothing more, just like Guru Gobind Singh did when he added his Dad's Gurbani Now coming back to Guru Gobind Singh, the great polyglot poet, an awesome man, an obedient son who decided to become an orphan for the greater good of humankind not for the sake of Sikhi but practicing the Sikhi trait of justice towards all, a wonderful husband and a father who again was not afraid to sacrifice his own 4 sons so we all can become better humans as we are still trying today with our every breath. Guru Gobind Singh made us Greater than himself when he went on his knees in front of the Panj Pyaras to whom he had given the Khandei de Pahul, to take the same Pahul from them. This is the way he made us Greater and Bigger than he thought of himself was. I apologise for the long thought. Thanks & regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
