    Grammer / Vyakarn Prof Maninderpal Singh Of Gurmat Gyan Missionary College On Gurbani Grammar

    Gyani ji, My reading is 2. because the Mathura ji states that Guru Arjan Dev ji is Hari. But of course, they are all the image of Hari so 1 is equally valid.

    Is Waheguru Truth?

    Nailed it. St. Aquinas once said that God is the very Essence of Existence. That Essence is also known as Truth. Guru Arjun Dev ji says - Satye naam tera paraa poorblaa - 1083. The Truth is one of God's Primal Names.

    How Are Sikhs So Rich And Wealthy?

    You gotta read Guru Granth Sahib with meanings about 5 times and apply those teachings to your life, then wealth will automatically come. Wealth follows Wisdom. So follow Wisdom and Wealth will come. Once you get it, remember to share it also.

    The Gurus Were Not "chosen"

    We must be careful here and pay attention to the grammar. The word here is not Jug or Yug but Yuge. ਜੁਗਿ Yuge means in the Yug, in the age, in the era. ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ yuge yuge - in each age, in each era... So Guru Hari Gobind ji is not giving the number of Gurus that will be follow him. In fact...

    The Gurus Were Not "chosen"

    What is your point? So what if Guru Ram Das ji onwards Gurgaddi was passed within the family? Even Guru Tegh Bahadur ji was from the same family, he was the son of Guru Hari Gobind ji. Guru Gobind Singh ji did not pass on the Gurgaddi to his sons since they were martyred. So what if he...

    Sikhi Quasi-Pragmatists And Quasi-Spiritualists, Care To Explain?

    Not quite the case. The Supreme Being did have an interaction with with many individuals through out history.
