Is The Guru Always God As Per Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

[Sikh80]

[So serve your True Guru, and you shall receive the Name from the Guru. ]|



The primary question that boils down is the term Guru always GOD if one takes up this in the context Of SGGS ji.Looking at the above there are terms like GURU, Satguru; it comes to mind if Waheguru not the Guru and satguru for us or should we stop at SGGS ji as our GURU and GOd both; and do bani etc/keertan.I am not able to reconcile everytime I think of this. There should be a better answer to this.

You may like to help.

I am quoting a second line as an example.It may be read in continuation with the above.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਕਾਜੁ ਸੁਹੇਲਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਦਾਨੁ ਦਿਵਾਇਆ ॥
हरि हरि भगती काजु सुहेला गुरि सतिगुरि दानु दिवाइआ ॥
Har har bẖagṯī kāj suhėlā gur saṯgur ḏān ḏivā­i­ā.
Through devotional worship to the Lord, this ceremony is made blissful and beautiful; the Guru, the True Guru, has given this gift.

I wonder why the translator chose to tranlsate palaai the way he did. Perhaps it comes from the context of the verse and the shabd. This link might provide a clue.

The following 'sabad' appears on ang 23. The gurmukhi font is not working properly and hence the following translation is posted that states that True Guru is the mind's desire.May be learned one can throw some light.


Admin note: You give Ang 23 as the location of the Shabad, and identify the Guru as Guru Amar Das (3rd Mehl). But Guru Nanak is the aurhor of the bani on Ang 23; and Guru Amar Das's bani does not start until some pages later (Ang 26? ;). See my highlights in red. Would you set this matter straight so that a mod does not have to search for you. Kindly decide which Guru and which Ang. Then we can take this forward. Warm regards, Narayanjot Kaur


Siree Raag, Third Mehl, First House:


One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:


I serve my True Guru with single-minded devotion, and lovingly focus my consciousness on Him. The True Guru is the mind's desire and the sacred shrine of pilgrimage, for those unto whom He has given this understanding. The blessings of the wishes of the mind are obtained, and the fruits of one's desires. Meditate on the Name, worship the Name, and through the Name, you shall be absorbed in intuitive peace and poise. ||1||


O my mind, drink in the Sublime Essence of the Lord, and your thirst shall be quenched. Those Gurmukhs who have tasted it remain intuitively absorbed in the Lord. ||1||Pause||


Those who serve the True Guru obtain the Treasure of the Naam. Deep within, they are drenched with the Essence of the Lord, and the egotistical pride of the mind is subdued.The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and they intuitively center themselves in meditation.Their minds become pure, and they remain immersed in the Lord; they are honored in His Court. ||2||
Those who serve the True Guru in this world are very rare. Those who keep the Lord enshrined in their hearts subdue egotism and possessiveness. I am a sacrifice to those who are in love with the Naam. Those who attain the Inexhaustible Name of the Infinite Lord remain happy throughout the four ages. ||3||
Meeting with the Guru, the Naam is obtained, and the thirst of emotional attachment departs. When the mind is permeated with the Lord, one remains detached within the home of the heart.I am a sacrifice to those who enjoy the Sublime Taste of the Lord.O Nanak, by His Glance of Grace, the True Name, the Treasure of Excellence, is obtained. ||4||1||34||

 

[spnadmin]

Which line or lines in the shabad cause/es you to ask whether the Guru is God? Let's stipulate that Guru is God. So then, putting my initial question a different way, which line/lines exactly cause your confusion? Then we can move forward.

To Mod:My sincerest apologies for mentioning as 23,
the ang is 26.
The sabad as it appears at srigranth.org is reproduced below.
Hope the fonts in Hindi and Gurmukhi appear correct on your browser.
I can just see some squares'

Great post Narayanjot ji, after hearing your voice in this issue, i would like to rest my case and applaud you for enlightening our distinguished readership!! :happy: BUT i am sorry to pronounce here Narayanjot ji that here again the question still remains unanswered, in the shabad beautifully quoted by twinkle ji, whom actually the Third Mehl referring to...? The Nanak Himself or the Creator, the almighty, :advocate: i would certainly like to hear your arguement in this context... and i respectfully object to your claim of trolling by twinkle ji, certainly rephrasing the same question differently does not amount to trolling ... i hope the jury understands my argument and decides accordingly...

Here again is an interesting tuk:

[URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81%E0%A8%B0"]ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਛਾਣਾ ॥੪॥੨੭॥੯੭॥[/URL]
Gur mil Nānak pārbarahm pacẖẖāṇā. ||4||27||97||
Meeting with the Guru, Nanak has recognized the Supreme Lord God. ||4||27||97||

It sounds as if Nanak is meeting the Guru in a dualistic way -- Nanak and Guru. But it is not that. Nanak is ਮਿਲਿ mil (he is joined, met with, the Satguru). In the tuk Guru Nanak is saying that he has recognized the Supreme Lord God as joined to him, he has met him within. So there is no duality. mil = union
ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਪਛਾਣਾ

Guru Nanak's Guru was God Himself ,metaphorically speaking, he met HIM and recognized HIM or Realized HIM.
