Respected pk70 ji,
We all interpret bani as per our understanding. But sometime we feel that we may not be correct and seek the help of others to resolve the issue. One of such issues for me is to understand Guru in terms of bani and Sikhism.
We have many kinds of references in The Granth Sahib:
By default we are left with two meanings that we assign to the term.One may refer to the Primal Lord and other is the Granth sahib on the premise that bani is Nirankaar or it has been recommended so by the Tenth Master.
Let us look at following Line. I shall take up the English lines as it shall be helpful in making the point clear.
Who could be perfect Guru in the above lines.?
[As per that I understand perfect Guru and Lord should be the same but it is denied as per the above]
I shall post my doubts in this thread after you have replied to this.There would be more than 100 tuk's where the term Guru/satguru and GOd have appeared in a single line. Obviously I cannot assign the same meaning to the different terms employed in bani.
I had to restart this thread to understand if there is some standardization of the usage of the terms in the Bani.
warm Regards

- The Perfect Guru has saved us. I sought the Sanctuary of the True Lord.
