It appears to me that there are similarities between the Guru and the Holy Spirit.
I don't know enough about either one to articulate what I perceive. With brother Vouthon now on board I thought this might be a good time to ask the question.
I've seen comments previously that the Holy Spirit, being part of the Trinity, is a separate being to God and therefore it can't be similar to the Guru because the Guru and Akaal Purkh are one. But isn't the Holy Spirit part of God as well?? Sikhs talk about the Guru as if indeed it is a separate entity while simultaneously knowing Guru and Akaal are one and the same. The Guru within us is the Divine Light that guides us in the right direction. Isn't this similar to the Holy Spirit or have I got the wrong end of the stick here?
