[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 199404, member: 18224"] Tejwant Ji I know these were not directed at me, but I'd like to respond... in that I know what the difference between Gurmukh and Manmukh are... but rather than explain in my own words, others have so well defined them as per Gurbani already so I will paste a short definition, however the linked article goes much deeper.
