I sincerely request that you don't repeat things like this, to even think or purport this is very wrong and only serves to put our guruji's and fellow Sikhs in a very downbeat negative light.
most of the kathavachaks have absolutely no clue and make such random remarks that when you apply those comments against what gurbani says things just don't stand up.
furthermore, guru ji, in siri guru granth sahib ji, himself speaks of the smiling, happy gurmukh, sorry I don't have any panktis to hand but I'm sure fellow members can post, and lastly vairag is an avastha which you go through you don't stay at that level, again an example of people not knowing what they are talking about.
do you really think guru sahib was at that avastha his whole life? when we go through vairag, and by the way there are 4 stages of vairag, it is the internal yearning which increases to meet waheguru, this will then ultimately subside once the gurmukh has met waheguru and merged into him. and how do we arrive here and go through these stages -by doing simran!
do you really think guru ji sat doing 27 years of bhagti to meet waheguru, even to consider this is laughable and again shows how much we really know. all we are good at is repeating what others have said. guru ji was sat immersed In waheguru during this period obviously whatever else went on between guru ji and waheguru only they know but he wasn't sat there doing simran trying to meet him or he was in vairag trying to meet him. he was the king of kings! not some fake baba.
