Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Respected Kaur-1 ji,

As fas as my understanding goes, this is in connection with the Gurmukhs who follow sikh religion and for whom the only Guru is Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. He/she should recite Gurbani from Sri Guru Granth Sahib only and lead his/her life according to Guru's(SGGS) teachings. For him/her all other Bani is Kachhi Bani.

Please forgive me.

Thank you bhenji Gurvinder Kaur, I am in two minds over this tuks. On one hand I have the same point of view as your kind self on the other hand :

Does it also mean that, even for a Sikh, without Guru's Kirpa, bani is unripe (kacchi) since its only with Guru's kirpa we can acquire gyan (spiritual understanding of gurmat).
:confused:

The major factor here is OUR BELIEF. If we believe in Guru, Guru's Kirpa happens. Guru's Kirpa is always there, we have to become worthy of it, by making our belief UNSHAKBLE.

In Gurbani, Kacha, Kachi-- it means that is frail, that is false, that will not last, that is subject to life and death, that is not true, ....

i believe that Guru Ji is telling us here(the tuk under consideration from the first post), that bani of those who are not realized yet, who are not aware of 'THE TRUTH/SACH'- is also not Sach(pakki), is misleading as they themselves are still lost in koor.

Gurbani is Guru Ji's bani- so is pakki, FOR EVER, we understand it or not, IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE.....
Gyan comes with Guru Kirpa, same way we are able to read Gurbani with ONLY GURU KIRPA, same way we are able to understand it with only Guru Kirpa, and we cannot evenimagine HOW and THROUGH WHOM Guru Kirpa is going to happen- AS GURU IS EVERYWHERE- SACH

Guru Sahib Tells us-

Respected Sister Kaur-1 Ji,

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

In my opinion reading bani is the first step to get kirpa of Waheguru and by the Kirpa of Waheguru one is able to read/follow Gurbani. Though both appear contradictory, even then both are interdependent.

Gurbani is not unripe, the essence of bani is not different for persons at different levels of spirituality. For the beginner like me it is sachi bani and for the persons who have progressed on the path of spirituality it is sachi bani too.


Pleae forgive me.

Gurvinder Kaur
