Actually I am glad to read your personal opinion on this Guru waak. Some people are just" lakeer ke faqir" and fail in differentiation between compliment and realty. Satguru ji tried to clear the minds of followers about this complimentin Rag Asa

Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
Pk70 ji,
Your response above gives rise to another doubt that ,I request, should be clarified by your good self.
1.Is the Bhatt's Eulogisation part of Bani?
2. Is the Bani Of Bhagats [e.g. kabeer, Namdev ji etc] be treated at par with the Bani of Guru Sahibs.?
The question is posed as the Bani of Bhagats should have been authored prior to Sikh Gurus and hence the bani of Bhagats should not qualify for 'Dhur ki bani' and hence 'Bani Nirankaar hey'.
Kindly clarify.
Thanks in anticipation.

Sikh 80 Ji
Thanks for respectful remarks.
As per search done so far, Bhatta's Bani is accepted by 5th Sroop as bani because, I think, bhatt's sawaeeyes are written in reverence about Guru and his sroops. Doubtless, Mehla word shows oneness of Satguru Nanak who is revered through all sroops. Other sroops abandon their separated entity therefore praising words are for Satguru who showed people right path to be worthy of Almighty. Besides, in writing, people are made aware not to look beyond Satguru Nanak even after reading bhatt's bani. All words are symbolic, taking literal meaning can not be a work any intellectual. Since bhatt's bani is in Guru Granth Sahib ji, it must be revered as Gurbani; I strongly feel that Bani of Bhagatan ji should also be considered Gurbani as well, for we are instructed by 10th Nanak that "Granth ji should be revered as Guru in totality". We bow before GGS Ji in that reverence. Since we bow before GGS ji, should we consider Ragmala a bani? No, because so far research is done, it is proven that as a lot of kachi bani was entered without bonafide acceptance of any Satguru and ragmala was one of them; people who support ragmala as bani have no reasonable research done. Since scholars changed sides just becuase of fear or personal gains it does not mean anything that shows disrespect towards Satguru and is not allighned with Gurmat must be call gurbani. We sikhs when start arguements, most of the time, we just take a stand in stead of being open. Babu Teja Singh went to the extreme to accept bani as gurbani only authored by Guru Sahiban. He was also dead wrong because whatever was accepted by compliling authority( 5 th Nanak), how it can be questioned? Same kind of imaginative idea was given by late GB singh who went too far saying 5th Nanak edited Satguru's gurbani and chose to leave out some of it just fearing retaliation from mugal rulers.He never opened his mind to see more shabad of that kind already in GGS ji. I believe, except ragmala, all we read in Guru Granth Sahib is honourable Gurbani, nothing is in there except ragmala which is against Gurmatt. If some say so, they interpret it out of context just as some people while doing kirtan and interpretation of gurbani start quoting Urdu poetry and stories from Hindu mythology. Sometime I wonder Sikh80 ji that why dont they just try to be Sikhs as per gurbani authored by Satguru Sahibaan!

Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
Dear GurSikh,
The Question you have posed is one which has harried other Faiths. The most popular being Christianity and the Divinity of Jesus. Was he God or His Prophet?
For Skihs the same question arises as to the Divinity of Sat Guru Nanak. Guru Ji himself never acknowledged his own Divinity. In fact, he humbled himself before God and the Saints by saying that he was the servant of God's servants. The Gurus that came after however, acknowledged, the Divinity of Sat Guru Nanak. There are passages where he has been referred to as the Creator. In others he has been described as "The Formless One".
This concept is true but you must understand the context in which it is used. It is far from my complete understanding but from my readings of the Sri Guru Grant Sahib (SGGS) and other writings, I have, with God's grace attained some limited understanding of this concept. I will try to impart this to you and all those out there who may chance upon this reply.
In essence this is what the Holy Bani states;
In the Beginning, God was unmanifest and remained in a contemplative state for 26 ages. When The Creator finally gave expression to Himself, he did so initially through two avenues, the Holy Word (Bani, Shabad) and the Sat Guru. So we have God (The Guru), The Holy Word (Bani, Shabad) and the Sat Guru. Both these two manifestations of God are blended in His Essence. Both are from Him and are a part of Him. Both are inseparable from Him.
Remember, The Guru (God) is the Bani and the Bani is The Guru (God).
This all sounds very familiar if you know something about Christian doctrine. It is the Doctrine of the Trinity. This concept is given clear Expression in the SGGS (strange place for a Christian to find clarification on this issue I'm sure).
The SGGS goes on to explain that though The Sat Guru has emerged from God's Essence, the Guru (God) and the Sat Guru are two seperate entities. At this point I would like to make an important clarification. At this point we are discussing the existance of the Sat Guru as a spiritual being. A Divine Being of Light. Not a Being in bodily form. The Sat Guru at this point is a Spirit created by God. This is an important concept to understand as it underlies the universality of the Skih Religion and its Holy Scriptures. It also opens the doorway to understanding this crucial concept of the Guru, The Bani and the Sat Guru and how this very concept applies to other Faiths.
In various passages of the SGGS, the Sat Guru is viewed as having the power to Create and Destroy. Of taking Life and Restoring it. Of having absolute knowledge of all the Worlds. Of having the Power to absolve Sins and who Himself is free from Sin. Who has such power save God Himself? Yet these Powers have been bestowed upon the Sat Guru.
Remember, The Guru (God) is the Bani and the Bani is the Guru (God). When Sat Guru Nanak was called to God's presence, God gave him a Cup filled with the Nectar of His Name (His Word, His Bani) and he was told to drink it. He obeyed His Maters's command and was then imbued with God's Word (Bani).
So the eqaution changes. If The Guru (God) is the Bani and the Bani (The Word) is The Guru (God), then it follows that if the Bani (The Word) and the Sat Guru become one, so do God and the Sat Guru become One. They are the same and exist in one another.
God then commanded Sat Guru Nanak to go into to the world and preach His Name.
In the body of the Sat Guru, God has infused his Light and His Spirit. On Earth, in the Heavens and in all of Creation, there is no being like him. He, the Sat Guru is therefore the closest that any being has come, to seeing God. For all intents and purposes anyone who has seen or heard Sat Guru Nanak has seen and heard God Himself. He is therefore rightly described as The Formless One, The Creator.
To digress a little, it is interesting to note that in the Christian Scriptures, a similar verse appears which I paraphrase now; In the Begining was the Word, The Word was God. The Word became Flesh and walked amongst Men.
The verse is starkingly similar to the one in the SGGS about the Guru and the Bani (The Word). However, the Christian fathers of past, the theologians and the general population of Christians mistakenly interpret this verse to mean that God took the form of a human being and was born into this world.
Sikhism clearly rejects this theory as God does not take birth. Nor does he die to be born again.
The SGGS also tells us the the Sat Guru has been coming into the world in every age since the beginning to guide us back to God. Our religion claims no exclusivity to God or to any religious teaching, etc. We do not claim that ours is the only faith that can lead you to God. However I can make one claim. The Skih scriptures containe the Essence of God and that of all religions since the beginning of time. Those who read and understand it wil come to understand their own faiths even better. The Gurbani is the mirror reflecting all faiths under God's House.
I apologies for the long reply. I pray that God and my Sat Guru wil forgive me for any error or digressions in my interpretation of the Gurbani. Remember dear Gur Sikh, understand the Essence and you will conquer all.

Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
Dear friend,
First of all kindly accept my thanks for writing an instructive post.
I have gone through it for over more than 10 times.
For the time being, I do respect your view-point. I shall revert back after clearing my concepts. I do lack full appreciation of Gurbani.
Further, I have to presume that all that you have stated should be as per SGGS ji.
However, as a help I shall request you to kindly opine on the following:
1.If Lord is Nanak and Bani is Nirankaar. It would tantamount to God singing HIS praises and God asking us to meditate upon God.
Can it be so.?
2.Was Mool Mantra and Jap ji sahib authored by Guru ji in HIS own praise?
3.The entire Granth sahib is fullof the praise of the Almighty i.e Almighty praising the Almighty.
I think these would be the doubts of many especially when Guru ji has very clearly stated that His Guru was the creator and he got the blessings of naam from the Creator.
For Kind perusal and reply.
Regards

Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
Some opinions from Sikhnet members
In the Mool Mantra Guru Nanak Dev ji says: Akal murat ajooni.... which means God never dies and God is beyond births and deaths.
In Jaap Sahib Guru Gobind Singh ji The Tenth Nanak says: Namastang ajae...which means I salute God who cannot be born.

Re: Nanak is the Guru, Nanak is the Lord Himself.
so you regard Guru Nanak as the creator of the world?
who was Guru Nanak praying to when he was a Guru? God cant pray to God, as there is only one God..
Guru Nanak had sons..does it mean they were litterally the Sons of God??
Guru Nanak Maharaj used to eat and visit the toilet as any other person would. does it mean that God uses the bathroom?..

I could be wrong (very wrong) but my view is that Guru Nanakji (and the other Gurus), Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and whoever else (to each their respective religions) are all the same- "messengers of God".
These are all people that God sent to show humans the Truth.
Unfortunately, many people didn't listen and others twisted the message to fit their needs. I also believe that God sent Guru Gobind Singh the message to let people know that there would not be anymore Gurus in human form because people began to worship the messengers and not the message.
After all, when was the last messenger of God?> Sikhism is the youngest of the religions...so I guess it ended there.
Guru Nanakji was not God Him/Herself....but rather he was an extraodinary enlightened remarkable being who was in fact human.
