Understanding Guru As per Granth Sahib




Contributing my research worth a penny. This lowliest worm is going to see how many times BabaJi(SGGS Ji) is telling us literaly that:
Only One and only One.
The Only Truth.
All is God.
There is no second.
God and Guru is One and the same.
God is Guru and Guru is God.
A Saint is God Himself.

All the above points of this truth make it clear that Guru is God-nothing else, as there is nothing else or a second one. This also makes it concrete why a [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/"]Sikh[/URL] (like this lowliest worm-Sadeep Puri) believes that Guru is God-the Creator.

Please Note: There is not even a single time when BabaJi indicates that Guru is NOT God:yes::yes:- not even a single time:cool:.

Research is going to be done page by page and the above mentioned points will be colored red and bold.
Research is inspired by Sikh80 Ji's following words:

However, one should not forget that Supreme status of eternal Guru is that of The Lord , the Creator and causes of all Causes. It is due to the respect that the Bhatts and Balwant and sat had called them almost equal to Lord. It is sheer out of pure love and adoration that it has been done and may be we also do like wise but without getting lost as to who is the Ultimate Guru or satguru. He is that HE is and was and shall be.


He says 'Each Sikh'. I am Sikh too and know hundreds of other Sikhs who believe: Guru Parmesar Nahi Bhed(there is no difference between Guru and God).

BabaJi says the Truth about Guru God and All--- to be the same and One:

Extracts of the first Post and self derived conclusion
Given below are the extracts of the initial post and the conclusions that I have arrived at and I am quite satisfied with these.

We all interpret bani as per our understanding. But sometime we feel that we may not be correct and seek the help of others to resolve the issue. One of such issues for me is to understand Guru in terms of bani and Sikhism.

We have many kinds of references in The Granth Sahib:


  • True Guru
  • Sat Guru
  • Perfect Guru
  • Guru
  • Granth Sahib
  • Besides aad Guru, Jugaad guru, Sri Guru dev...etc

By default we are left with two meanings that we assign to the term.One may refer to the Primal Lord and other is the Granth sahib on the premise that bani is Nirankaar or it has been recommended so by the Tenth Master.

Let us look at following Line. I shall take up the English lines as it shall be helpful in making the point clea
r.

  • The Perfect Guru has saved us. I sought the Sanctuary of the True Lord.
This line contains perfect Guru and God and states that perfect Guru has saved us and I sought the sanctuary of Lord. This makes it clear that the implication is that Perfect Guru and the Lord should be two different entities.

Who could be perfect Guru in the above lines.?

[As per that I understand perfect Guru and Lord should be the same but it is denied as per the above]

I shall post my doubts in this thread after you have replied to this.There would be more than 100 tuk's where the term Guru/satguru and GOd have appeared in a single line. Obviously I cannot assign the same meaning to the different terms employed in bani.
I had to restart this thread to understand if there is some standardization of the usage of the terms in the Bani.

Conclusion

I had given the above post based on which the thread was initiated. After looking at the response I conclude that there is no standardization of these terms as it may not be possible for us to find out the mood and the colors when this term was authored and introduced in Bani by Guru Sahibs.

However, Supreme Guru is God himself.

Anyone may like to post further,if required.
