Did The Gurus Have Past Lives?

^^ there is a much deeper meaning to that pauri from japji sahib that you have posted.

i suggest you listen to katha on www.gurmatveechar.com to understand it a bit more.

i still stand by my view :)

Veer, im not challenging your view, just discussing it.

The point is that do you think Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the first incarnation of that soul? Hukam is referring to vahegurus law.

The law is that if we are broken from Vaheguru - then we will go in these recincarnations until we are finally aware! - We are living proof of this law

The question is, was Guru Nanak Dev Ji bound by the same law talked about in Japjee Sahib?

If not, it is to say that Guru Ji is beyond the reach of Vaheguru?

If a person believes that they are beyond Vaheguru then how can they understand the law?

Guru Nanak Dev Ji clearly says that if you do understand/accept the law, you must be egotistical

Personally I believe that the meaning is quite simple

how can ocean be bounded by an ocean??? the concept doesn't make any sense.

of course the ocean understands what it is, because it is that !!!

once you get to a stage where you are one with waheguru, these rules/laws, dont matter, dont exist.

its kinda hard to explain for me ;) perhaps someone else can explain it better.

i never claimed to understand hukam, i've tried and failed so many times .... that i've stoped trying now

in short, guru sahib can do anything and everything. and if they did, there would be no "consequences" so to speak. but out of their love for waheguru, they find it much more pleasing that they live in will of waheguru.

again, i still stand by my view :)

going a bit off topic i think, so this is my last post in this matter

PS. you seem to think that japji sahib has meaning that are "quite simple". i highly recommend you listen to some katha @ www.gurmatveechar.com you will be blown away by the depth of this bani bestowed to us by dhan guru nanak sahib jee

Agreed that you get to a stage where you are one with Vaheguru

but what about the stages before that? Is there any limit to those stages? Was Guru Nanak Dev Ji born being one with Vaheguru?

GuruJi goes on and on and on about how Vaheguru has saved him. Saved him from what? In order to be saved you have to be in trouble right?

In regards to JapJi Sahib, i apologise for being so flippant with its meaning. Bani is vast

Bhai Gurdas Ji is talking about the lives of the Gurus. What about the bodies of that soul before they were Gurus?

Are we not capable of the same things that the Gurus were? Do we not contain that exact same essence? Do we not all have that same potential?

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
