[QUOTE="TeraRoop11, post: 5748, member: 897"] Waheguru Ji KaKhalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Giani Jarnail Singh Ji, I think this is a great topic you have started. I would like to say, however, that I believe Brahmgianis do exist. Not in the way the Hindu Brahmins were, however, and definitely not the way those people are who claim to be sants and babas in the newspapers and magazines. For Sikhs, a Brahmgiani is that person who was the perfect Sikh, and they are God. In Sukhmani Sahib da paath, there is also a tuk "Brahmgiani aap Parmesar." Brahmgiani is himself God, there is no difference. Or "Brahmgiani sadh jeevai, nahi marta." Like God, for he is God, Brahmgiani never dies. Even after there is a saskaar for the body, the Brahmgiani can come back into this world. And "Brahmgiani ka Kathhiya na Jaaye Adhaakhar." What Brahmgiani says will happen, WILL HAPPEN. The Brahmgiani's word is Waheguru's word, and no one can change that.But that Brahmgiani does not announce to the world, "LOOK! I'M A BRAHMGIANI! I AM GOD'S FAVORITE, AND I CAN SAVE YOU AND FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS IF YOU PAY ME!!!" No, we can only trust that person to be Brahmgiani which helps us without asking for anything in turn, without trying to make the status of a king in others' eyes. Only that person who really does try to help other Sikhs, and people in general, to find the path to God, without trying to make them run around behind him like a crazed fanatic who can't see anything else as right. And about Sikhs waiting around for 20 years before they could open their eyes and see the surprise and dance in glee, newsflash - you're not getting it. So all those people who are waiting for SANT Baba Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa, Bhindranwale to come back, they need to think why their mahaan, bahaadur leader would hide for TWENTY years, when they've been waiting for him so PATIENTLY to come and LEAD them, because they obviously don't know what to do.
