[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 191955, member: 14641"] well, to answer the question, my own opinion, a clear NO. This intimates that the 10 Gurus were on some sort of learning curve, where policies changed, thoughts changed, the message evolved, and what was being preached at the end was in some way different to the preachings at the beginning. The message has remained constant throughout. there are no rigid and narrow worldviews, I do not see two bipolar comminities of Gurmukhs and Manmukhs, but lets get away from fancy words and fancy theories. Guru Nanakji had a very simple message, free yourself from the bondage of the self and embrace the liberty of serving Creation.No amount of sex, drugs, booze, money, power or Range Rovers will ever fill the dark void that nestles within, you may try, but you will fail, the void remains. This message has been constant throughout, all the tenth Master did was outline a program whereby this could be facilitated, where any person, be they of humble learning, or scholars could find this peace and happiness, its very simple, do this, find enlightenment, peace, meaning, lose your fear, and more importantly fill that dank black void. We try and argue, we take bits and pieces, and hope it works, but it is nothing more than those miracle cures they advertise for blown head gaskets, they may work, for a short period, but all the time, in your heart, you know they won't last forever, and then your back to square one. The only surefire way to cure a head gasket problem is strip the engine and change the gasket, but its effort, no one likes effort, everyone is looking for the short cut. There are no communities of Gurmukhs and Manmukhs, we are all Manmukhs aspiring to be Gurmukhs, some are closer than others, but I have yet to meet one who I would consider to be completely Gurmukh.This is not really surprising, a true Gurmukh does not advertise, a true Gurmukh simply gets on with the job, quietly, spending every day as a slave to Creation, free of desire, lust, anger, and filled with an inner peace and bathed in light. The sooner we get away from this automatic bestowing of Gurmukh to all that take Pahul, the better, there is nothing magical about Pahul, Pahul exists to validate and support, not to magically transform without any effort. There is no evolution of Manmukh, the Manmukh has been around since day 1, and the Manmukh has not changed, greed, lust, pride, ego, it was the same then, and it is the same now, the hope is that the evolution to Gurmukh will take place, and then and only then will the Khalsa rule, not as a Government ruling a land, but as the purity in the hearts of everyone, that was the goal....
