[QUOTE="sidhu_james, post: 80862, member: 6547"] [b]Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.[/b] Dear Sikh 80 ji, SSAkal. The questions coming in your mind are very logical. I am afraid Sister Surinder's answers aren't convincing, with all due respects to her. In the Granth Sahib, our respected Gurus have professed themselves as sinners. They clearly say they are seeking forgiveness of their sins. Guru Arjan Dev says i worship the Creator who has created me in my mother's womb. All my life i have been a devout follower of Sikhism, but now i am not convinced about many areas. The questions cropping in your mind trouble me also. What if the Gurus were dead serious and have really declared themselves unworthy of worship? Aren't we then commiting a folly by blindly following them as Gurus, and idol worshipping them? All the Gurus point towards the Creator. They say Shabad hi Guru hai. In fact what disturbed me was the fact that much of the text in Granth Sahib has been copied from the Bible. If i as a Sikh take pride in my religion, and Gurus, why do my Gurus need to copy something from a different Holy Book, that is much older than theirs. In the beginning was word, and word was with God, and word was God...now this text first appeared in Bible and then in Granth Sahib, i have discovered this. Then in one of the verses in Granth, Gurus say that they will worship the Word that was taken alive to heaven....something like Panch tatva da Putla Nanak....Shabad mera Guru Jo Jeevit Gaya Aasmaan. What was Nank Ji trying to say here? Who has gone alive to heaven. If someone has gone alive to heaven, then definitely that Shabad (Word) must have come to earth also....a very logical assumption. Now if that Word became flesh, and came to earth, then it must be God incarnated. Now none of our Gurus have made a claim that they are God. They have sought forgiveness of their sins from Waheguru, the Almighty. Suppose my Gurus were trying to show me a way? So in my attempts i came across some verses in Bible where Jesus maakes claims, that He is the way, the truth, the life. There is no other way to Almighty except through me (Jesus). Now i do not these claims in any other Holy Book. The point to ponder is, why did Jesus make these claims? Who gave Him the authority to say such things? Naturally a person with authority would make such statements. Why did my Gurus not say such things? Why not a single surety that they will take me to heaven? Why do my Gurus need forgiveness of sins, as they claim. And if they need forgiveness, whom are they seeking forgivenss from? Who can forgive their sins? First i though that it must be Waheguru. But then how do i talk to the Waheguru? I also need my sins forgiven, like my Gurus. So i came across these verses in Bible where Jesus says that He has been given the authority to forgive sins, by Heavenly Father. I find this talk pretty straight forward.
