Sat Sri Akal:

The entire first Vaar of Bhai Gurdas Sahib is dedicated to the history of before and during the Gurus. It really details out how a big chunk of the Asian Continent was completely screwed up and how everything was either brutality, empty ritualism, or both.

[DhadiMania]

a singh sahib at out local guru ghar (well its a new local guru ghar) said to as he did a katha "if we maintain a strict rehat, thats how we get to sachkhand"

im not sure if he also said "rehat is the only way out" but i have definatly come across books like bhai rama singh jis saying "amrit is the way out"

my question to the sarbhat sadh sangat ji is

a) before sri guru nanak dev ji, what made people become mukat? my sister asked me (after listening to the sngh sahibs's katha) and also asked "so before guru ji, no-one was mukat?"

i had no answer to that because i thought all religions were equal..and there were many paths to reach akal purakh... but i dared not ask the singh for some reason.

i also wanted to ask, if all religions are equal, why does bhai gurdas ji say "sikhism is supreme"? (i remember coming across a //, but cant remember which one).

the two vaars i am reffering to are...

its 28.18 .it says theres lakhs of ppl hu do all sorsta things. but concludes by saying all the persons cannot taste an iota of the fruitful bliss which the practce of sikhism brings 2 the disciple....

gur sikhi sukh til na lahandey

and 28.9

gurmukh sacha panth hai sikh sahaj ghar jaai khalovai

meanin sikh way is perfect the sikh easily reaches the mansion of bliss

its these panktees i found interesting.

the gutka i have is written by gobind singh mansukhani and in which the 54th // in there (28.19) says "sikhism is supreme" "sikhi sarb shiromani hai" i am interested to know if bhai sahib did write this.

any idea?

gustaphi maaf

I'm not too sure either....but i heard that only Amrit can make you mukt and even the 5 bhagats and all great gursikhs came to human life form during guru gobind singhji's time to take amrit. Also heard that panj peyare were tha 5 bhagats.

Bhul chuk maaf!

[ms514]

Sat Sri Akal:

Amrit is the start of the Sikhi path, not the end. If one adheres to it AND with the Kirpa of the Almighty, you can be saved.

[DhadiMania]

Amrit is the start of the Sikhi path, not the end. If one adheres to it AND with the Kirpa of the Almighty, you can be saved.

so is sikhi the ONLY way out or are there other paths also that lead to waheguru?

or does sikhi claim world supremacy?

gustaphi maaf
