I have given above some lines appearing in SGGS ji that refers to Shabad',sacha sabad' ,giru's shabad' and Naam.

The Gurbani often refers to the 'shabad' ,sacha sabad' and guru's shabad.

1.The precise question would be as to what Guru sahibann are conveying in the lines marked as lines 2,3 and 5,7 as these talk of 'shabad' and 'sacha shabad'.

2. Like wise in 9 and 10 there is a reference to shabad and guru's shabad. Line no. 9 states clearly to Guru's shabad.In the context it would mean the word of the guru i.e the teachings of Shabad guru i.e SGGS ji.

3.In line no 12 and 13 there is a reference to naam.

I shall be garteful if someone can throw light on the term shabad when it appears with out prefix of Guru. ,and secondly what is the exact difference between Shabad when it appears in stand-alone manner without prefixes of Guru's shabad.

There should be some difference between Naam and shabad as else the two would not have been used separately.

Kindly ignore english translations. These may be misleading .
I shall be very grateful to all those who may reply if they appreciate these differences.


Regards to all
