[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 216499, member: 2610"] It's a good idea to step back and take in the bigger picture or getting a fresh perspective on things. But have you worked on your self through Meditation, Truthful Actions and Acquiring and Sharing Wealth and Wisdom? Have you developed yourself physically and spiritually? Do you exercise? Do you consume good nutrition? Do you get quality sleep? Do you get quality sunlight? Do you meditate? Do you act according to the Truth? Do you have a set daily routine of performing meaningful tasks? Do you have a plan for the next 5 years? and for next year? and for tomorrow? These are important questions to ask yourself. The examples set by the Gurus have survived. It is up to you and I to make use of their examples and orient our Compass of Life, towards the True North. Bibi Bhani ji did immense seva of Guru Amar Das ji and she wanted the Gurgaddi to remain within the family. Guru Amar Das ji granted her that. So all Gurus after Ram Das ji respected her wish. The Sacrifice that the Gurus made confirms their Divinity. Do you have any idea what strength it takes to be able to sacrifice things you hold dear to you, such as your family? Do you have any idea of what practice it takes to constantly access high states of being? Where you able to write such beautiful hymns that resonate in the hearts of the Indian people, not just during your time but 500 years after that. Do you have any idea what strength it takes to be able to play the game of life at that level? Where you are organizing kitchens, holding congregations, and generating such influence by your ability to speak the Truth, that the Emperor of the whole of India, finds you threatening and decides to shut you down and torture you. The confirmation of the Sikh Saints that followed in their foot steps and made sacrifices also confirms the Divinity of the Gurus (as well as the Saints). The teachings of the Saints that existed prior to the Gurus, also confirms the Divinity of the Gurus since they both spoke the same Truth. It's not confined to the Punjabi or Punjabi language. The Truth is available to everyone all over the world, if they only pay attention to their inner experience. In my deepest experience, I find the writings of all Saints to be highly meaningful and deeply beneficial to one's life. These Saints are everywhere. Their writings can be found in all kinds of books. Yes. Contemplate it. This is because Guru Granth Sahib is not a linear book. It is a compilation of hymns of Indian saints. If you want to read a linear book, I would recommend Bhagwad Gita. That maybe an issue with the reader not the text. If you find that you are not growing, then try something else. No one is forcing you to read Guru Granth Sahib. (But if you want to know whether it is Divine then you must contemplate it.) Why did this shake your faith? Do you think polygamy is morally wrong? How do you suppose Gurus should have worked around Environment factors such as - high child mortality, Biological factors such as - sterility, Traditional factors such as - requirement for keeping gurgaddi within the family? Truth is also inclusive. The Gurus state" people worship God through different names, images and religions, and that these are all ultimately going to the same Oneness of Akal Purakh Sahib". In Bhagwad Gita, Krishan ji, who is God, explains "no matter which God you worship, ultimately you worship me and I will fulfill your prayer" meaning no matter which religion you follow, you worship the same God and he will fulfill you. In Bible Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to God, except through me", meaning - No one makes it to God without knowing the Way, a path, a methodology. No one makes it to God by lying their way through; without being Truthful God cannot be obtained. No one makes it to God without becoming purified through the trials and tribulations of Life. All of these things must come together in one individual if they want to see God. And they may come together in any individual from any religion or background. [/QUOTE]
