Gurfatehji
In my opinion, it was never the Gurus intention to turn themselves into Gods, to be worshipped or to be put onto a pedestal. I believe that the Gurus had no special powers, no supernatural powers, they had just managed to achieve the state of Naam, and wanted to share that with us, without the glory, without the recognition.
The road to Naam can now be reached by one on one instruction from the 11th Guru.
The message seems clear to me, Live by Hukam, reject all ritual, contemplate Creator and Creation, live your life in consonance.
However, as Sikhs, do we concentrate too much on the messenger and not enough on the message?
