[QUOTE="ExploringSikhi, post: 191969, member: 19734"] Harry Ji, I agree with what you have said, that the definition of manmukh remained largely, if not completely, the same from the time of Guru Nanak Dev Ji to the time of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I think the argument is whether or not the later Gurus started attaching a lot more importance to themselves, making it seem like they were the only path to "liberation." I don't want to post full shabads because it would be an eye-sore, but single lines aren't allowed either, so I will just link to the relevant pages. I use the Sri Granth website, when I click "view shabad/paurie/salok", it does not show the relevant one but something different. So I am afraid I can only link to the page number, it may not contain the entire shabad but the highlighted text is the part I was focusing on (you can see highlighted part by scrolling down if not visible when the window opens). [SIZE=2][URL]http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=233&english=t&id=10194[/URL] Okay, so that is Guru Amardas Ji. The people who turn away from the True Guru are evil. Is he referring to himself here? A few lines later he mentions the "Lord God", so I am not sure if "True Guru" is another way to say God. If that is the case, who is the "True Guru"? And then: [SIZE=2] [URL]http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1310&english=t&id=56136[/URL] Most of this shabad is on the page before the one I linked to, but the relevant part is in the highlight. It is by Guru RamDas Ji. It says that good people should bow and surrender to the Guru if they want good things to happen to them. Isn't the goal of Sikhi to produce good people? If so, why the need to bow to the Guru when you are already a good person? And as for Bhai Gurdas Ji, he is quoted as saying "Without the Guru's Shabad and sadh-sangat even [U]good persons[/U] find no liberation." (Varan Bhai Gurdas, ed., Giani Hazara Singh. Amritsar, 1962, Var #, Pauris, #, V, 7, 10.) [/SIZE][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
