[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 183146, member: 14194"] [CENTER]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry folks I revised an earlier post and rejigged for greater completeness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [/CENTER] Review backgrounds of the people who are included in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and you will find the answer within, [B][SIZE=+2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]The scripture contains compositions of 6 Sikh Gurus (the first five Gurus and the ninth Guru), seventeen saints/Bhagats (Kabir, Farid, Namdev, Ravidas, Beni, Trilochan, Jaidev, Sundar, Parmanand, Sadna, Ramanand, Dhanna, Pipa, Sain, Soorday, Bhikhan, Mardana); poets Balwand & Sata and eleven Bhattas or poets of the Sikh Gurus (Mathra, Jalap, Harbans, Talya, Salya, Bhal, Kulh Sahar, Nal, Kirat, Gayand, Sadrang).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/B] ([URL]http://www.gurbanifiles.org/intro.html[/URL]) So the question is how many were spiritual or scholarly or both or other? [B]Answer:[/B] Spirituality cannot be delimited even though certain tools of study and contemplation may help. [LIST] [*]One example would be to be knowing the language, in this case it being Punjabi. [*]Knowing the environ and in this case it being Punjab. [*]The emphasis in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji about Sadh-Sangat/"Companty of pious" is another example of learning through association and sharing [/LIST] I believe we will be remiss if we don't record in this dialog the great direction given in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji through our Guru ji's and that is about the following, [CENTER] Quote: <table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" width=""> <tbody><tr> <td padma_font_family_property="tohama,verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="alt2" style="border:1px inset"> [B][FONT=Raavi]ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ[/FONT][FONT=Raavi] / [/FONT][/B][COLOR=black][B]gur parsāḏ [/B] ==[/COLOR]>[COLOR=black] blessing of the God/creator[/COLOR] </td> </tr> </tbody></table> [LEFT]This is a blessing that comes about to create a facilitation for us to smoothly enter the door of understanding and wisdom vis-a-vis the one God/creator and the associated creation that we are part of. Guru ji may have also used it as a humbling statement that all their wisdom or understanding is all as a result of God/creator's blessing and nothing of their personal efforts or acumen. I believe Tejwant Singh ji has also posted along these lines so the above may be a repeat. I am including it as I believe it to be very fundamental in the context of my post and I was remiss in not doing this earlier. [/LEFT] [/CENTER] Sat Sri Akal. [/QUOTE]
