The SGPC are no authority. Some may believe that they are but this is not true. People should be gaining knowledge and guidance from the Guru Granth Sahib alone. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but we must move away from any form of hierarchy system. We all have the ability to understand the teachings with out the need for so called scholars input. Those of us that seek more knowledge can ask others but should always seek it for ourselves so that we can make up our own minds.
Meditating on God and having love in our minds helps us receive the knowledge in the most effective way. Those who have knowledge alone without union with god only know what should be but may never act or experience it. I personally find that those who act correctly show us the way more than those who have proven knowledge and that meditating on god can give all the answers we need in relation to conduct.
