[QUOTE="sadhu, post: 94814, member: 7918"] [b]Re: Who is a Saint and How to Recognise him[/b] [SIZE=4]at aad0002[/SIZE] First of all thank you for replying me. And my friend i am not trying to disrespect sri guru granth sahib, let it be very clear. You never answered my questions, and definitely you dont have the answers. Coming to your point, that guru granth sahib is 11th guru it was decided by 10th guru just before he left the body, and you say that there is a written tradition supported by various gurmukhs who were present. Well, then its clear from what you say, that guru gobind singh has never said that adi granth is the guru in any of his own hand written texts. According to you it was written in "tradition" supported by gurmukhs who were present. You believe a tradition, instead of believing guru gobind hiimself. You believe a tradition instead of believing the guru granth sahib itself. You believe a tradition instead of believing the ten gurus. Because neither guru gobind, nor the ten gurus have proclaimed that they are the only holy men on earth, and that after them there will be no other enlightened beings. Infact they never claimed anything. Gurubani is full of poetry written in a state of supreme blissfulness in love of god or in the love of their guru, or in the love of the saints. And poetry never claims anything, its just a fragrance of the ones who have known the mysteries of the eternal. You are the ones who are claiming, who are shouting aggressively, that after guru gobind there can be no enlightened person. You are claiming this just because your tradition says so. And tradition is something that is passed on, and on and on. And when something is passed on and on, it loses its original nature, it loses its authenticity, and the essential part is always faded away. Because different people make out different meanings of what is said, they add their own views on it, they make different conclusions according to their own understanding, and then they pass it on further, and then same happens again. If you are believing a tradition, then you are believing something that has been molded, then remolded, then reshaped, by many people who were not of the calibre of guru gobind singh ji. Why are you so much impressed by this tradition, and not by gurugranth sahib, or the ten gurus, or the saints, or the brahamgyanis? AND yes my opinions dont need notarized documents or polaried snapshots, simply because they are not my opinions, they are facts. Your "traditions" [B]do need[/B] to present someproofs, but factual truths dont need proofs. Just the truth is enough. But even still if you are not satisfied, then gurugranth sahib is there, i can get you hundreds of lines that can prove you wrong. You say that my chalenges take me outside gurmat vichaar. Well then my friend you are mistaken, i am absolutely talking gurmat vichar, the vichars of the guru. It is you who is standing outside the venue of gurmat vichar, you are in the venue of "[B]traditional vichar", because you speak of tradition and i speak of gurubani.[/B] I never said that the saints are the mediators between you and god, no. But yes they can tell you the way they have attained the supreme blissfullness, and the way they have reached this ecstacy. But remember you are the one who has to walk the path, the saint will only show you the way, he can never give you enlightenement. You yourself will have to reach god. A saint can only talk about the way he has attained the lord, he cannot be the mediator. [/QUOTE]
