Guru Granth Sahib
The Guru Granth Sahib teaches that national unity can be achieved only by rising above differences and division of creed, friendship, cultures, castes, colour, races and untouchability. Only in such a spiritual world can God be attained and only through this can man be rid of sorrows in the world. The mission of improvement carries on through the Guru Granth Sahib and at the same time there is a challenge and ire against hypocrisy and oppression. These sayings have been called divine not because they descended into the hearts of prophets through angels, but because they accord prime importance to oneness of all, “Manas ki jaat sabhe eke pehchanbo.” (The whole humankind is but one). Guru Gobind Singh accorded the role of Guru to Guru Granth Sahib in order to accomplish the experience “Bani guru, guru hai bani” (Holy verses are the embodiment of the Guru and Guru himself is holy verses), provided by the first Guru. He decided for all times that the verses of the Gurus and no human being or sage or seer will be the Guru.
Great gems of truths and wisdoms there in the words of Guru Granth Sahib. The paradox is that we create a secluded group or establishment around the secular teachings and we hate or like less of others following a different or similar other establishment or group. This tragedy applies to all groups of religions and sects there without any distinction. If it happens that the guru or the great soul comes alive from the tomb one day, then he will hang himself to see the people who call themselves as his ‘followers’, doing all tamashas and trashes there in HIS name. It’s true with all religions and followings.
My great respect to GURU GRANTH SAHIB.
