[QUOTE="BabbarSher, post: 7542, member: 185"] Thanks for the compliments Vijaydeep .. and more thanks still for a very nice and logically flowing post :-) Sher Singh Ji: I would request you to ask your father for exact quotes as it would help the cause. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could find the following references to Angels and Demons in Guru Granth Sahib JI #1. References to Azraaeel - The Angel of Death Page 315, Line 4 -- Guru Arjan Dev Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, shall crush them like sesame seeds in the oil-press. ||27|| ajraa-eel faraystaa til peerhay ghaanee. ||27|| Page 953, Line 14 -- Guru Nanak Dev Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, shall be appointed to punish them. ajraa-eel faraystaa hosee aa-ay ta-ee. Page 1019, Line 19 -- Guru Arjan Dev Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, seizes and tortures them. ajraa-eel farhay farh kuthay. Do the above references then mean that there does exist and actual angel Azraaeel and sikhs belive in that. I think to understand this we need to recognise: The message of Guru Maharaj was not limited to a particular section of the society. It was a Universal Message for all. To get his point across Guru Maharaj used refernces to the popular current mythologies without ever compromising his message. If on the one hand he uses the word Azraaeel for people who were familiar with semitic beliefs and myths, he also used words like Kaal, Jamdoot and Dharamrai which could be easily interpreted by people believing in Hindu beliefs. Hence the world Azraael just presses home the point of death. The simple use of the word conveys a powerful message to people of semitic belifes and they are easily able to relate to the truth. Also if Guru Maharj belived in mythological beings such as Devs, he would recognise that they have partaken the mythological Amrit and now cannot die. However the references we find from Guru Granth Sahib paint aa different picture and suggest that Guru Maharaj never subscribed to such myths: Page 1267, Line 7 -- Guru Arjan Dev Shiva, Brahma, angels and demons, all burn in the fire of death. siv biranch asur sur jaytay kaal agan meh jartay. Bhagat Naam Dev Ji also says: Page 873, Line 17 -- Saint Nam Dev I have been transformed from a mortal being into an angel, in an instant; the True Guru has taught me this. nar tay sur ho-ay jaat nimakh mai satgur buDh sikhlaa-ee. Now is it that Bahagt Jee got transformed into an angel or Deevta as per popular mythology or is he talking about qualities that came to rest in him because of satguru's blessings. Think.. Please also search for the word angels at [url]www.srigranth.org[/url] and you will get a lot of links. [/QUOTE]
