[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 167022, member: 16886"] Is the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji mystical ? - Harry ji asks in the 1st post. Well, may be not, but what makes it special. To someone who is unaware about sikhism, it just seems like a special book. Why do you treat it with so much respect ?-they may ask. It was as we know started by Guru NanaK ji as a pothi and was then continued for over 200 years before the 10th Guru gave it us as the eternal 11th guru that would continue for eternity!! I once explained this to a gora who was more than impressed.- I told him- - Well after Guru Nanak started it the following gurus contributed to it, BUT amazingly, in the same near exact fashion and poetic style and with the exact same approach that it all became ONE piece of work but by many people. The end result is such that it seems like ONE person's hard put effort and not at all by a number of people!!! In reality, C[I]ould somene now start a book and pass it on for 200 years and then the end result is such that it all seems like one continous piece of work and seems that it was written by the same person ?- [/I] -[I]Answer- NO WAY!!!![/I] This is what it is, exactly, the words of the Guru that were passed on from one guru to the other and their contributions were near exact similar in style and method of giving essence. - Infact, we can only tell who contributed what by way of numbers!!! That shows exactly how humble they were and when endorsing a name in verses they would still use 'Nanak' the orignal contributer!!!! The gora was amazed when he was informed this. Then I told him, that this also proves the fact that the Gurus were Gurus. The fact that it wasn't just next in line to the 'gadhi' as you would get with thrones for Kings and queens. The next one just didn't take the gadhi and speak about what the predecesor endorsed or encouraged- they carried the 'light' or torch that spoke the words of the Guru.-Hence, the words are called Guru's Bani or Gurbani. I mean just sitting back, and thinking about this for a few seconds, one realises and says 'WOW!!' I mean, what Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave us for eternity still carries that same light that was passed on. He couldn't have given us anything better, this is why it is NOT just a religous book as in other religions. - It is MUCH MORE than that. The gora could see now that these words it contains are not just spoken words. You can call this 'Mysticim' if it explains it better and pleases you. But I think that mysticism is stll not a strong enough word to describe it. It is much much more than any mystical figures!!! So Harry ji, there is my answer about the magic and mysticism!!! Simply that what we are talking about is beyond and better than that. Magic and mysticim are words for describing Harry Potter books...etc...etc Sat Kartar Lucky Singh [/QUOTE]
