[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 66357, member: 5290"] [url=http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/SearchView/4458190FB6625BC98725702C00738889!OpenDocument]Re: Difference between Bhagat and Guru?[/url] Quoted***************** I am sure you have read previous posts of Indy S Dhillon ji about the definition of Guru. Guru in Sikhism is not a body but “Gurbani” “Gur Shabad” “Divine Naam (Name)” or “Word of God”. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1) Bani Guru Guru Hai Bani, Vich Bani Amrit Saare (SGGS, 982) Wah Wah Bani Nirankaar Hai, Tis Jewad Avar Na Koi (SGGS, 515) Now, since God is eternal, the Word of God (Guru), in the same sense, is eternal and everlasting. In short, there is no difference between Guru (not body) and God. Therefore, you will notice when (Guru) Arjan prays to “Guru” Nanak: Guru Nanak is the greatest of all; He saved my honor in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga (SGGS, 750) He is actually praying to the “Guru”, i.e. God in manifestation, and not to the body of (Guru) Nanak. When he refers to his body, he will merely use the title of “servant”, like here: Servant Nanak has obtained the most exalted state, lovingly attuned to the True Guru (SGGS, 40) Servant Nanak has realized God; he sings the Lord’s Praises through the actions he does (SGGS, 82) In the end, I think it is futile to compare bhagat and Guru (both are great). Bhagats and the 10 gurus (body) died, but true “Guru” or “Gur Shabad” never dies. Bhagats realized the God through Guru (Gur Shabad, Naam). In the later stages (when one realize the Truth), there is no difference and that is why bhagat bani in Guru Granth Sahib.
