yes i agree with your answer and would do the same... i would save the child first, and then go back and either come out with sri guru granth sahib ji, or not come out at all...

fateh...

WJKK WJKF! I'm new to this forum so im not sure if this has already been discussed...Those of you who have been on the tapoban forum might of already read this. k..this is a question for the sangat reading this..what would you do if you have guru granth sahib at your house and you were baby sitting a neighbors 2 year old...all of a sudden the house gets flooded. @ would you ......

a) Get out of the house alone and save just yourself

b) Get out of the house with the child

c) Get out of the house with guru granth sahib

*would this answer differ if it were your own child...

I thought this is something interesting to think about!

Personally... my answer would be b) get out of the house with the child because i know nothing could happend to guru ji... but would go back to get em n die trying

what would you do????

FATEH!!!

hehehe..is this a question to test a person's IQ ??

You have said the house gets flooded...wht kind of flooding is this ?? Is it because of water coming from outside or some internal leakage ?? whatever the case..lets answer the question...

1. if flooding is because of some internal leakage.. thn i dont think its a big deal..u'll have enough time to take the kid and SGGS out OR you can also stay on the top most floor (if its a double storey house)

2. if flooding is from outside ( like its a FLOOD) then going out of the house wont help would it ??? its gonna be the same flood outside, GOING OUT WOULD BE STUPIDITY. again the best option would be

a) if u are in some western country, go to the top floor and you'll be safe. SGGS is always on the top floor in such houses. So no worries <_<

b) if you are in india then you always have the ROOF :D ..and most of the times no one is alone at the house. so one person can carry the baby and one can carry SGGS.

As the question had many ifs .. i have replied accordingly :TH:

GUR FATEH !!

yes but i think your supposed to imagine it's a very small one story house, and a major pipe just bursts open, and the whole house starts filling up at an incredibly fast rate... ( i guess you could also open up some windows and doors, huh... <_< ) did you guys hear that when hurricane katrina happened here in america, the sri guru granth sahib was floating on top of water, untouched and unharmed at the new orleans gurudwara? pretty amazing stuff...

doesnt matter what you think you'll do. in the heat of the moment who knows what you'll do.

Its' easy to just sit on a forum and say I would do this and that, but how many of us would actually put that into practice. Time will tell when you are there. However, if I had to the child would be my first option. Jugo Jug Atal Sri Guru Granth Sahib Sache Patshah is immortal, it can never die so it doesn't matter!!!!!!!!

Gurbani is Eternal. The Guru is Eternal. Paapi's have burnt Maharaj's saroop in the past. Paapi's have placed their feet on Guru Jee to try and say they are above Gurbani. But has Guru Jee died? Did they manage to wipe out Sikhi? Could Guru Jee ever die? Answer is no.

Now, the kid would die wouldnt he..? They say children, especially babies, are "rabb da roop" as well, thanks to their innocence and recent coming into the world. Its a tricky question what is asked above, but i believe people need to look a bit deeper and realise its not about the FORM Guru Granth Sahib Jee is in more the actual teachings, Gurbani inside.

As for me, i dont know - i would try and save both and if we die in the process of saving Guru Jee, then we die. Maybe this way would be good if Maharaj lets us die such a death, that we do not have to ever die again.
