[QUOTE="kaur-1, post: 68386, member: 3025"] [b]Re: Guru Arjan :The Creator[/b] Veerji, this might help clarify your query. Source:[URL="http://forums.waheguroo.com/Q-and-A-Does-It-Make-Sense-That-Sikhs-Worship-10-Gurus-Like-Gods-t16514.html"]Q & A: Does It Make Sense That Sikhs Worship 10 Gurus Like Gods? - DiscoverSikhi.Com[/URL] "[B]Q: Does it make sense that Sikhs have 10 Gurus whom they worship? Are there 10 Gods? What makes you different than Hindus? [/B] [B]A:[/B] Firstly the term [I]‘Guru’[/I] needs to be examined. The term [I]'Guru'[/I] in Sikhi is not used for a teacher or a guide or an expert or even a human body. The word Guru is composed of two terms: [B]GU[/B] – means darkness and [B]RŪ[/B] – means Light. In Sikhi the word [I]'Guru'[/I] is, thus, defined as [I]the Light that dispels all darkness[/I], and that is called [I]‘Jyot’[/I] (Divine Light). Guru Nanak Sahib jee was, the True Guru (Satguru), the [I]embodiment of Divine Light.[/I] [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick] gur nwnk dyv goivMd rUp ]8]1][/FONT] [I]“Guru Nanak is embodiment of the Light of God.” (Ang 1192)[/I] In Sikhi the Guru is in whom the Light of God shines fully, visibly and completely. Guru is in union with Divine. Thus, ushers the devotee, the seeker of Truth into a spiritual birth. Through the True Guru the Glory of God is transmitted to humanity. Satguru is one with God and has existed since the start of time. Guru Nanak Sahib jee is not a human but is in fact [I]Shabad[/I] (Divine Infinite Wisdom). This [I]Shabad-Jyot [/I](the Light) came into human form to reveal [I]Naam[/I] to humanity, which is the only path to realise and merge into God and end the circle of birth, death, heaven and hell. [B] Do Sikhs have ‘Ten Gurus’? [/B] There is [I]‘one’[/I] Guru. The Ten were for explaining the completeness. The Ten figures are a complete figure. Guru Nanak Sahib jee took the form of Ten bodies. Bhatt Mathura jee in Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee clearly shows this: [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]joiq rUip hir Awip gurU nwnku khwXau ] qw qy AMgdu BXau qq isau qqu imlwXau ][/FONT] [I]“The Embodiment of Light, the Lord Himself is called Guru Nanak. From Him, came Guru Angad; His essence was absorbed into the essence.” (Ang 1408)[/I] The Ten Nanaks had one same universal message. They had a direct connection with the Divine. They don’t show you experience, rather they show you how to experience the Divine. The Shabad (Infinite Wisdom) is the True Guru, Satguru. And Satguru Nanak Sahib jee is in essence the ‘Shabad’. Guru Nanak Sahib jee and the Ten bodies revealed and interpreted the Shabad. [FONT=Gurbaniwebthick]gur mih Awpu smoie sbdu vrqwieAw ][/FONT] [I]“'In the True Guru (Nanak) You have installed Your own Spirit; You are pervading through the Word of Your Shabad.” (Ang 1279)[/I] There is only [I]‘One God’[/I]. A Sikh worships only the ‘One God’ and bows his or her head only to the [I]Shabad[/I] (Infinite Divine Wisdom) which took the form of Ten Nanaks and was recorded in writing, which is the Sikh Guru today – Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee,[I] the revealed Divine Word of God."[/I] [/QUOTE]
