[QUOTE="davinderdhanjal, post: 162720, member: 13600"] prakash.s.bagga ji, Your contribution on ‘Gur’ - I did not understand your help - in any case I was trying to differentiate between ‘guru’ and ‘Guru’. Use of ‘Guru’ is limited to the Lord and ‘guru’ to the teacher of any level but born human. The second point in your comments about 'NAAM' is related to Indian culture/religions and how we respect pious gurus/individuals for their help to link us to the Lord. All people who have attained the highest accolade in religions (including Sikhi) have sought the help of gurus to take then over the last barrier. In Sikh religion and even before guru Nanak, anyone who wants to attain sublime peace, get out of the 84 circle, and attain God, had to secure help of a guru. It is also mentioned in the Granth Sahib. This in itself is not available to all (even though it may be well known word), one has to attain a level of purity worthy of it, I note below how after a number of attempts Kabir finally resorted to spending days in the hope that his guru may ‘trip’ over him. Kabir, was man of God, had great difficulty finding a guru one because he was brought up in Moslem tradition and second he was seeking a Hindu guru. He eventually sought the most prominent at that time, Swami Ramanand, by lying in his path days on end. Lord intervened and one day on his way up the steps Swami Ji’s feet touched Kabir and Swami Ji touched him by the shoulder and said “[FONT=GurbaniAkharThick]auTo bytw rwm kho”[/FONT] This (RAM) was the NAAM that Kabir needed to be liberated and as Bhai Gurdas writes “it was like philosopher’s stone touching iron to make gold”. Granth Sahib has a number of quotes for you to learn more but I add one from guru Arjan: [URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=46&h=0&r=0&fb=0&english=t&id=1873#l1873"]Page 46, Line 7[/URL] [COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਕਰਿ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਕਿਰਪਾ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਪ੍ਰਭਿ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਮੇਲਿਆ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਦੀਆ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਅਪਣਾ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Raavi]ਨਾਮੁ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black]In His Mercy, God unites us with Himself, and He blesses us with the [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#AB5555]Naam[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black].[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]There are examples of recent people who have made the grade also obtained the NAAM and pursued their missions.
