[QUOTE="Embers, post: 168749, member: 9385"] [COLOR="Black"]Hello Justoshji This is a useful question for me too. My limited understanding is that the ultimate spritual perspective is that all is God and God is the true guru. True because God is forever true and never misleads, here is the Sri Granth Ji on those points, I continue below:[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Page 442, Line 18 ਗੁਰ ਗੋਵਿੰਦੁ ਗਵਿੰਦੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਭੇਦੁ ਨ ਭਾਈ ॥੪॥੧॥੮॥ गुर गोविंदु गोविंदु गुरू है नानक भेदु न भाई ॥४॥१॥८॥ Gur govinḏ govinḏ gurū hai Nānak bẖeḏ na bẖā▫ī. ||4||1||8|| [B]The Guru is God, and God is the Guru, O Nanak; there is no difference between the two[/B], O Siblings of Destiny. ||4||1||8|| Guru Ram Das [/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 10, Line 2 ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਜਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਤਪੁਰਖਾ ਬਿਨਉ ਕਰਉ ਗੁਰ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ हरि के जन सतिगुर सतपुरखा बिनउ करउ गुर पासि ॥ Har ke jan saṯgur saṯpurkẖā bina▫o kara▫o gur pās. O humble servant of the Lord, [B]O True Guru[/B], O True Primal Being: I offer my humble prayer to You, O Guru. Guru Ram Das[/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 347, Line 13 ਸੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਚੀ ਨਾਈ ॥ सोई सोई सदा सचु साहिबु साचा साची नाई ॥ So▫ī so▫ī saḏā sacẖ sāhib sācẖā sācẖī nā▫ī. That Lord and Master - He is True, [B]forever True[/B]; He is True, and True is His Name. Guru Nanak Dev [/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 1043, Line 15 ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੀ ਸਭੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਛਾਨਿਆ ॥ गुर सबदी सभु ब्रहमु पछानिआ ॥ Gur sabḏī sabẖ barahm pacẖẖāni▫ā. Through the Guru's Shabad, [B]I have realized that all is God.[/B] Guru Nanak Dev[/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 294, Line 6 ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਕਾ ਪੇਖਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ॥ संत जना का पेखनु सभु ब्रहम ॥ Sanṯ janā kā pekẖan sabẖ barahm. [B]In the eye of the Saint, everything is God.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev[/COLOR] [COLOR="black"] It is precisely because in the eye of the saint that all is God, that the saint merges with God and in the ultimate sense (highest spiritual sense) the Guru is God.[/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 214, Line 3 ਸਹਜ ਕੇਲ ਅਨਦ ਖੇਲ ਰਹੇ ਫੇਰ ਭਏ ਮੇਲ ॥ सहज केल अनद खेल रहे फेर भए मेल ॥ Sahj kel anaḏ kẖel rahe fer bẖa▫e mel. I enjoy intuitive peace, and I play in bliss; the cycle of reincarnation is ended for me, and [B]I am merged with the Lord.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev[/COLOR] [COLOR="navy"]Page 27, Line 4 ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੋ ਮਿਲਿ ਰਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਨਉ ਆਪੇ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ सबदि मिलै सो मिलि रहै जिस नउ आपे लए मिलाइ ॥ Sabaḏ milai so mil rahai jis na▫o āpe la▫e milā▫e. [B]One whom the Lord merges into Himself[/B] is merged in the Shabad, and remains so merged. Guru Amar Das[/COLOR] [COLOR="black"]Likewise the Shabad is Guru and the Shabad is God. The 10 Gurus were 'representative' of Shabad. This continues in the Sri Guru Granth Ji, hence why I bow to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. So the answer is that the 'line' is down to spiritual perception. The line become less through remembering His Name until the point where one becomes merged in the Lord's bliss.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
