[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 115141, member: 189"] Jasbir Kaleka Ji... Gurfateh. I liked your comment about..IF ONLY our Gurus had married out of caste !!! This would have been "helpful"....???????????????????????????????But couldnt grasp it... Have our Gurus failed us...( even an iota..as in NOT marrying out of caste ??) What IF..one or more Gurus had indeed married another caste...wouldnt THAT been an ADMISSION.or SHOW that they BELIEVED IN CASTE..when all their GURBANI..and all the effort they put into collecting Banis of ....SO CALLED...."OUTCASTES and DOWNTRODDEN DREGS of society, Chmaars, Chhimbas, weavers, jatts etc on EQUAL BASIS as their OWN REVEALED WORD. IS it more "helpful"..if just say Mata Tripta Ji was a chmaaree....or Mata ganga ji was a Ghumiaree..THAN the SGGS Containing the Banis of Ravidass Ji, Kabir Ji sitting on the SAME THRONE as GURU NANAK JI SAHIB and ALL the rest NINE GURUS..and the MILLIONS of SIKHS BOWING to SGGS in EQUAL REVERENCE for all ETERNITY.
