[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 193502, member: 35"] Luckysingh ji Although "gurmat" cannot be "enclosed in a box" it is enclosed in a granth. Gurmat cannot be anything anyone with a spiritual bent would like it to be. It therefore cannot be an extension of other philosophies, nor viewed as a special case of brahminical or vedic teachings. Gurmat is found in the ShabadGuru, and through the shabad gurmat is demonstrated in righteous living. Gurmat means literally the Guru's teachings with Gur = the possessive of Guru, meaning "of the Guru" or "belonging to the Guru"; and Mat meaning teachings or wisdom. Therefore, Gurmat = Guru's teachings. Because [B]there is for us only 1 Guru, [/B]Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, then [B]Gurmat is found in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and nowhere else.[/B] The gurmat thing to do is to go to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to find out what the shabad tells us gurmat is. SriRaag, Ang 30, words of Guru Amardas ji [COLOR="Blue"]ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ Sirīrāg mėhlā 3. Siree Raag, Third Mehl: ਸਚਾ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸੇਵੀਐ ਸਚੁ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਦੇਇ ॥ Sacẖā sāhib sevī▫ai sacẖ vadi▫ā▫ī ḏe▫e. Serve your True Lord and Master, and you shall be blessed with true greatness. ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ Gur parsādī man vasai ha▫umai ḏūr kare▫i. By Guru's Grace, He abides in the mind, and egotism is driven out. ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਧਾਵਤੁ ਤਾ ਰਹੈ ਜਾ ਆਪੇ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥੧॥ Ih man ḏẖāvaṯ ṯā rahai jā āpe naḏar kare▫i. ||1|| This wandering mind comes to rest, when the Lord casts His Glance of Grace. ||1|| ਭਾਈ ਰੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇ ॥ Bẖā▫ī re gurmukẖ har nām ḏẖi▫ā▫e. O Siblings of Destiny, become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Name of the Lord. [B]ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਸਦ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਹਲੀ ਪਾਵੈ ਥਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Nām niḏẖān saḏ man vasai mahlī pāvai thā▫o. ||1|| rahā▫o. The Treasure of the Naam abides forever within the mind, and one's place of rest is found in the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||[/B] ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਅੰਧੁ ਹੈ ਤਿਸ ਨਉ ਠਉਰ ਨ ਠਾਉ ॥ Manmukẖ man ṯan anḏẖ hai ṯis na▫o ṯẖa▫ur na ṯẖā▫o. The minds and bodies of the self-willed manmukhs are filled with darkness; they find no shelter, no place of rest. ਬਹੁ ਜੋਨੀ ਭਉਦਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਜਿਉ ਸੁੰਞੈਂ ਘਰਿ ਕਾਉ ॥ Baho jonī bẖa▫uḏā firai ji▫o suñaiʼn gẖar kā▫o. Through countless incarnations they wander lost, like crows in a deserted house. [B]ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਘਟਿ ਚਾਨਣਾ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਉ ॥੨॥ Gurmaṯī gẖat cẖānṇā sabaḏ milai har nā▫o. ||2|| Through the Guru's Teachings, the heart is illuminated. Through the Shabad, the Name of the Lord is received. ||2||[/B] ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਅੰਧੁ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹ ਗੁਬਾਰ ॥ Ŧarai guṇ bikẖi▫ā anḏẖ hai mā▫i▫ā moh gubār. In the corruption of the three qualities, there is blindness; in attachment to Maya, there is darkness. ਲੋਭੀ ਅਨ ਕਉ ਸੇਵਦੇ ਪੜਿ ਵੇਦਾ ਕਰੈ ਪੂਕਾਰ ॥ Lobẖī an ka▫o sevḏe paṛ veḏā karai pūkār. The greedy people serve others, instead of the Lord, although they loudly announce their reading of scriptures. ਬਿਖਿਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਚਿ ਮੁਏ ਨਾ ਉਰਵਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਰੁ ॥੩॥ Bikẖi▫ā anḏar pacẖ mu▫e nā urvār na pār. ||3|| They are burnt to death by their own corruption; they are not at home, on either this shore or the one beyond. ||3|| ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਵਿਸਾਰਿਆ ਜਗਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲਿ ॥ Mā▫i▫ā mohi visāri▫ā jagaṯ piṯā parṯipāl. In attachment to Maya, they have forgotten the Father, the Cherisher of the World. ਬਾਝਹੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਅਚੇਤੁ ਹੈ ਸਭ ਬਧੀ ਜਮਕਾਲਿ ॥ Bājẖahu gurū acẖeṯ hai sabẖ baḏẖī jamkāl. Without the Guru, all are unconscious; they are held in bondage by the Messenger of Death. [B]ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਉਬਰੇ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਲਿ ॥੪॥੧੦॥੪੩॥ Nānak gurmaṯ ubre sacẖā nām samāl. ||4||10||43|| O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, you shall be saved, contemplating the True Name. ||4||10||43||[/B][/COLOR][B] [/B] Guru Nanak tells us that the shabad is the ladder, it is the path through the khands and takes us beyond the gunas to the jyote, and with that to dharma.
