[THE WARRIOR]

Warrior cultures and traditions in the old world maintained unshorn hair as a sign of Chivalry, Grandeur, Honour etc. In this respect it was an uplift of the common man to fight against the tyrants that ravaged the weak and helpless. Whilst kings and high priest of the era maintained signs of their order that could only be handed down by blood and lineage, Guru ji infused the Khalsa his children by giving them their identity, unshorn hair being one of them.

AkalPurkh has long hair. "khoob tairee pagree mitthay tairay bole" and he wears a dastaar.

On one side we say Akal Purakh has no shape or color or creed. On other hand, we say Akal purakh has long hair. How is that possible? Can you please elaborate?

[Matheen]

Balwinder Singh, you are correct the Maharaj has no form. However, when Bhagat Nam Dev had darshan, Akal Purkh manifested in the form that Bhagat ji describes in his Bani.

Gets taken out of context some times....

Mahraaj is using a metaphore to describe Vaheguroo Ji's form, IF Vaheguroo Ji had one.

The essence we need to take from this is, for Guru Ji, if Vaheguroo Ji had a form, it would be the most beautiful form ever known to him...this beautiful form includes Kes.

The essence is Guru Ji equates true external beauty with Kes

I think "darshan" doesn't mean that God has to take a form. "Darshan" is something beyond that. When Bhagat Naam dev ji said:

Sab Gobind hai Sab Gobind hai....that is something like darshan.

Guru ji very well knew that God has no form. Why would Guru ji even think of God having a form which is exact opposite to reality.

One needs to consider concept of sargun/nirgun form of vahiguroo when tries to limit vahiguroo only as keshadhari which is one of the form of sargun vahiguroo out of many.

[Balwinder Singh]

So waheguru is not ALWAYS keshdhari in sargun saroop....its one of the many forms. Right?

yeah not many but infinite sargun saroop, by implying many we are also implying there is an end, there is no end. People should read jaap sahib and sri akaal ustat sahib before bringing their mat and starting pushing that vahiguroo is keshdhari only in sargun saroop.
