[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 85407, member: 5290"] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=Black][COLOR=Blue][U]Extracts of the first Post and self derived conclusion[/U][/COLOR] [B][I][COLOR=Blue]Given below are the extracts of the initial post and the conclusions that I have arrived at and I am quite satisfied with these.[/COLOR][/I][/B] 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 [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/"]Sikhism[/URL].

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. [COLOR=Blue]Conclusion [COLOR=Black]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. [I] Anyone may like to post further,if required.[/I] [/COLOR] Regards[/COLOR][/FONT][/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
