[QUOTE="Taranjeet singh, post: 167847, member: 10049"] The significance of Guru is sikhism is very high. He is held in esteem by almost all. 'Guru is God' says Mrs. Rajinder Kaur, a famous sikh Indian philosopher in her book 'God In sikhism',: I am posting two shabads of Guru Granth Sahib ji that are self speaking and would not require any explanation.Yes, for better appreciation of these it is always advisable to refer to teeks of Sahib Singh ji.
