[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 76951, member: 4990"] *Rehatnama Bhai Nand Lal [Prashan-uttar [B](Q&A)[/B] Attributed to Nand Lal] Nand Lal speaks: Doha 'You say that we should behold your presence, O Master. Tell me where we are to find you.' (5) the Guru speaks: Doha 'Listen attentively, Nand (Lal). I am manifested in Three ways : the formless or invisible (nirgun), the material or visible (sargun), and the divine Word (gur-shabad). This I shall explain to you. (6) Chaupai 'The first of these transcends all that is material . It is the neti neti of the Vedas, the spirit which dwells in every heart as light permeates the water held in a vessel.' (7) 'The second is the sacred scripture. This you must accept as part of me , treating its letters as the hairs of my body , This truly is so,' 8 'Sikhs who wish to see the Guru will do so when they come to the Granth. He who is wise will bathe at dawn and then will walk thrice around (the sacred Granth). (9) Dohara Come with reverence and sit in my presence. Humbly bow and hear the words of the Guru Granth. Chaupai Hear the Word with devout affection for the Guru. Hear the Guru's Word of wisdom and read it that others may also hear. The person who wishes to converse with me should read the granth and reflect on what it says. (10) The person who wishes to hear my words should devoutly hear and reflect on the Granth. Acknowledge the Granth as my visible presence , rejecting the notion that it is other than me. (11) The third form is my Sikh, that Sikh who day and night is immersed in the words of sacred scripture (gurabani). The Sikh who loves and trusts the Word of the Guru is an ever-present manifestation of the Guru, (12) Such a Sikh is the one who hears the Guru's words of wisdom and reads them so that others may hear. Attentively he reads both Japuji and Jap, visiting places sanctified by the Gurus (guradavaran) and strictly avoiding adulterous liaisons. (13) The Gursikh who is faithful in service will find himself cleansed from all sense of self-dependence. He who is scrupulous in performing these obligations is the Sikh in whom I am made manifest. (14) Dohara Worthy is the Sikh who serves with devotion, expressing his obedience to me in the generous offerings, which he makes. (15) Such is the service which I receive from a Gursikh. Hear me , Nand (Lal). Giving himself he finds the deliverance which carries him to Paradise (baikunthe) (16) Nand Lal speaks : You have told me of three forms, Master: the invisible, the visble, and the Guru's Word . The invisible form we cannot see, and the visble is the obedient Sikh. (17) Chaupai How can we comprehend the infinity of your invisible form? The universe is your form, you whom we call Master , and your presence mystically pervades every heart . (How then can we perceive you ?) 18 The Guru Speaks : You are a devout Sikh , Nand Lal .

This message of comfort and joy was delivered on the ninth day of the waxing moon in the month of Maghar, S. 1752 (4 December 1695 CE ) . Let the Guru's praises be eveywhere sung declares Nand Lal .
