who was the guru of sahib kabir..............as some shows ramanand ji.but i want to know who was the actual guru of sahib kabir...day there r lots of people who want to know dis....
jio,
This is not a simple question with a simple answer. Some, not all, of the hymns of Kabeer, and some but not all of the hymns of Ramanand, were included in the original Adi Granth. The decision of which hymns to include was made by Sri Guru Arjan Dev Maharaj. The bhagats, and there were 14 in all, whose hymns were included in the Adi Granth, also wrote many hymns that were not chosen by the Guru. These hymns (the ones that were not included) are part of other panths. They are not part of Sikhism.
However, those hymns that were selected for Adi Granth were included because Guru Arjan Dev saw in them the jyot of the Satguru who speaks through the 10 Gurus and through Sri Guru Granth Sahib today. In their hymns Kabeer and Ramanand are speaking with the Divine jyot. Insofar as these hymns speak in the same voice and with the same jyot, they are part of the Guru and we learn from them. Guru is teacher. We learn from a teacher, a Guru. The Guru is Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
interesting question...
i dont know the answer...

Honey22 ji
Are you saying that Sri Guru Granth Sahib is God?
Or are you saying that God is found in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, insofar as the divine jyote is merged in the Guru?
Pardon me Honey22 ji,
The last line of your fonts is Gurmukhi only and the attendant transliteration and English translation are missing.
You must be aware that there are followers of the Shabad Guru who do not view Sri Guru Granth Sahib as God because the Akaal Purakh(u) does not incarnate or take a physical form. Yes Light merges into Light -- but that can be taken in another way. The light of the 10 Nanaks, The Guru, and all the of the holy merge into Him, into His Light, but they do not become Him because He is greater than all of His creation. The separateness of their identity ceases to be and is overcome in this experience. But His identity does not cease.
He is immanent. He is transcendent. He is in His creation; He is greater than His creation. So we as part of His Creation can/even indeed may merge with the great ocean of His Truth, but He is Self-created. The sum total of His Creation cannot equal His greatness because his greatness is immeasurable.
