Sayings from Gurbani taken from Guru granth Sahib ji, the holy scriptures of the Sikhs
Pavan Guru, Pani Pita
Gur jaisa nahi ko dev
Gur Mere Sang sada hai nale
Guru guru gur kar man mor
Gur ka shabad basai mere hiyare
I had a great meditation session today. Can't remember the 2nd line that automatically came after Pavan Guru, Pani Pita. I was going to write a blog on the TRUE GURU but found the link below by accident when I ended up typing 'GURU PAVAN' instead of PAVAN GURU. Not sure what to make of the writing about the satguru in this blog. In one sense I agree with him on the state of Sikhs but not sure if its OK to be called a Satguru and steel (should I dare say?) the Gurfateh of Sikhs
'Waherguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh'
and mould it slightly and say
'Satnaam Ji Ka Khalsa
Satnaam Ji Ki Fateh'.
even though, it is validating Guru Nanak Dev ji's Ek Onkar Satnaam.
This guy (so called Satguru) seems to be following the right path as I trully understand his point of view that all Sikh prayers are asking the deciple to meditate and yet not all Sikhs are doing it. I am also most impressed with the experiences of the writer of this blog - Jaspal Singh. My worry is that there are many so called (self-promoted) enlightened masters including OSHO and Byas Satsang guy - The Radhaswami's but they all take their material for lectures etc from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhs. These Satguru's haven't contributed anything original to the spiritual world yet like Guru Nanak did. So for me, its hard to justify that they are Satguru's. I believe as Guru Nanak said that God is undescribable, immesurable etc that the latest Satguru should be able to tell us a bit more about God than any predecessor spiritual masters. Otherwise how can they claim to be satgurus?

In my opinion, most of these self proclaimed gurus, sants, godmen etc are there to misguide people...there may be a rare very few enlightened ones...however our Gurus have left us with the treasure of Bani who is our True Guru & will give us all the answers we are looking for...
The people must be told that Sikh gurus in their lifetime itself established bani as Guru
When Sidhas Asked Guru Nanak Dev Ji " Kawan Guru Kis Ka Tu Chela" then Gurun Nanak Dev Ji answered "Shabad Guru Surat Dhun Chela" which means the shabad(Bani or concept) is the guru and Surat(Mind, Concentrated mind) is the chela(Follower).
When Guru Arjun Dev Ji(Fifth Guru) compiled Adi Granth during his life time and did the prakash of Adi Granth in Sri Harmandir Sahib then at that time itself, Guru Ji used to sleep on floor whereas Adi Granth was given rest at bed which again shows that sikh Gurus gave Bani the highest place but these modern Gurus just tell some false sakhis etc to make huge fan following. And then they have concept of giving Naam Dan and gullible people without exploring anything become their followers and in the end these gurus do nothing except leading a luxurious life and amassing wealth.
