[QUOTE="lotus lion, post: 93132, member: 5620"] [B][U]2) Passages in the Guru Granth Sahib[/U][/B] A Foreword on the Guru Granth Sahib: "Something that must be noted is the uniqueness of the Guru Granth Sahib. It is the only 'Scripture' in the world that is still in its original unaltered form for over 500 years and is made up of the writings of the very Gurus and is completely authenticated by the Gurus. No other religion can make this claim. It holds a special status in the heart of The Sikhs as it is more the scripture, but considered the embodiment of the teachings of the Gurus, representing the Shabad-Guru in the written form and is as a result is revered with that same level of respect. In doing so, we are being instructed to form a direct connection with The Higher conciousness taking direct control of our destiny and to not rely on a Middleman, Be it the Guru or a Saint, to apparently bail us out when our actions have been less then correct." Each and every page is equal to another so Sikhs do not differentiate between Authors and as a result I will freely pick passages from the entire Guru Granth Sahib to support my arguements. [U]Sidhs have already asked this question to Guru Nanak[/U] Guru Nanak spoke to many people of many Dharmas in his travels along with the Hindus and the Muslims. One set was the Sidhs. The conversation that Guru Nanak had with them has been documented in the Sidh-Gohst. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 938-946 incase anyone is interested. Several questions were put to Guru Nanak and to each an answer was provided. For the sake of this discussion, I have selected questions that I feel are appropriate. "Who is your guru?" -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 942 To which Guru Nanak replied: "Nānak jug jug gur gopālā. O Nanak, throughout the ages, the Lord of the World is my Guru." -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 943 As well as: "Whose disciple are you?" -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 942 To which Guru Nanak Replied: "The Shabad is the Guru, upon whom I lovingly focus my consciousness; I am the chaylaa, the disciple." -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 943 Note the answers when openly asked: Who's Disciple are you: the Shabad, an Islamic Name for God was not chosen and this is a fundamental question especially since there are only 99 Names of God according to Islam and had Guru Nanak wanted to illustrate the point clearly this would have been the perfect opportunity and corrected the Sidhs. [U]I am Not Hindu, nor am I Muslim[/U] Bhairao, Fifth Mehl: I do not keep fasts, nor do I observe the month of Ramadaan. I serve only the One, who will protect me in the end. ||1|| ... I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. I serve the One Lord, and not any other. ||2|| I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. ||3|| I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim. Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 1136 The above passage is indeed an unparrelled one in all Dharmas. Jews could argue that Christians are a sect of their Dharma, Which gave birth to a sect called Islam, but there is nothing in the Torah the Bible or the Quran that can categorically refute this claims in the same way that the passage above does. The Sikh Dharma has an unparrelled passage that deals with this question and unequivocally and unapologetically states in no uncertain terms, without room for any other interpretation that the Sikhs of the Guru are not Muslim,or Hindu for that matter, and consequently the teachings cannot be branched off of them either. There are also more passages, such as Dhoor-Ke-Bani (Bani from afar) Ik-Ongkar (One God) and Ajap-jaap (The unchanted Chant) but i fear that i would not be able to discuss them without running into several pages and wish to respond within a timely manner, but hopefully the opportunity will come.
