Dear peeps,
My personally opinion on this is Guru ji did not have the need to read the vedas, shasaters, purans or the ketabs. The reason being is guru ji was nirankar himself. Meaning god manifested his attributed in Guru Nanak (but not god) just like a drop of water becomes one in an ocean. If u read the nitnem written by Harbans Singh Doabia ( yes the little red book with english transalation) he amply requasts, all the guru of the sikhs to stick to the panth by our divine teachers and kindly ignore all other man made gospals.
if u read the japji sahib carefully we come to the conclusion that:
1) Guru of Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the one god
2) As said before, the attributes of god was manifested to guru nanak dev ji which strongly agrees he was all the truth, had no trace of egoism and was perfeCtly in tune(yes in tune, not merged as most people believe) with god only.
3)The guru of all of us is the jot or the divine spirit i.e god's light and not the bodies of the ten gurus, althuogh thier bodies were most blessed, beacause the divine spirit of the creator was enshrined in them.
Here is a var from sothi balvand (not sure about spelling)
"The light in all the gurus was the same, thier ways and the sermons were the same, the divine gurus had simply changed the body"
So Guru ji did not have the need to read other scriptures. just because it is mentioed in books tht guru ji was taught the veds and ketabs does not assume he was influenced or inspired by earlier scriptures. It was only to show the world, remember guru ji was litiriate in 9 languages or even 14 as most books say. This is enough proof to show that sikhism is a distinct and seperate religion.
what are ur thuoghts?
