[QUOTE="Lee, post: 10410, member: 1301"] Hello Avind, Cyber Sangat, As far as I'm concerned the word Guru can be used interchangably to mean God, or any of the Sikh Guru's. Guru Granth Sahib says: 'Thaapi-aa na jaa-ay keetaa na ho-ay. He cannot be established, He cannot be created. aapay aap niranjan so-ay. He Himself is Immaculate and Pure. jin sayvi-aa tin paa-i-aa maan. Those who serve Him are honored. naanak gaavee-ai gunee niDhaan. O Nanak, sing of the Lord, the Treasure of Excellence. gaavee-ai sunee-ai man rakhee-ai bhaa-o. Sing, and listen, and let your mind be filled with love. dukh parhar sukh ghar lai jaa-ay. Your pain shall be sent far away, and peace shall come to your home. gurmukh naadaN gurmukh vaydaN gurmukh rahi-aa samaa-ee. The Guru's Word is the Sound-current of the Naad; the Guru's Word is the Wisdom of the Vedas; the Guru's Word is all-pervading. gur eesar gur gorakh barmaa gur paarbatee maa-ee. The Guru is Shiva, the Guru is Vishnu and Brahma; the Guru is Paarvati and Lakhshmi. jay ha-o jaanaa aakhaa naahee kahnaa kathan na jaa-ee. Even knowing God, I cannot describe Him; He cannot be described in words. guraa ik dayhi bujhaa-ee. The Guru has given me this one understanding: sabhnaa jee-aa kaa ik daataa so mai visar na jaa-ee. there is only the One, the Giver of all souls. May I never forget Him! ' Now the Gurus word is the sound current of the naad, and the wisdom of the Vedas, and all pervading. It seems to me that this usage of Guru means God, as does Guru being Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. Guru Granth Sahib also says: 'raag ga-orhee poorbee mehlaa 4. Raag Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl: kaam karoDh nagar baho bhari-aa mil saaDhoo khandal khanda hay. The body-village is filled to overflowing with anger and sexual desire; these were broken into bits when I met with the Holy Saint. poorab likhat likhay gur paa-i-aa man har liv mandal mandaa hay. By pre-ordained destiny, I have met with the Guru. I have entered into the realm of the Lord's Love.' This seems to me to be speaking more about one of the the Nanaks, rather than God. I hope this helps a bit. Heh and if not then I hope it helps kick start some discussion onthis topic at least. Cheers, Lee. [/QUOTE]
