The Pruan Sant or Real Sant is the One who lead you to the Correct Marg of SGGSji. Because in KALYUG, Only GUru Nank Devji is the SATGURU(no other). And SGGSji is itself Saroop of Guru Nanak Dev ji and 9 Patshahis.

SANT knows the marg.Path to Satguru, There Sant act as a Vichola to lead you to SGGSji. If we look at Sant Samaj Back ground, All Puran sants have told GURU Maneyo Granth beacuse THey Have achieved Param Pad from SGGSji.

THerefore any person /Sant who doesnot lead you to the SGGSji Mat , then He's Fake.

I would also agree with the above definitions, but most importantly a saintly person (whether they belong to the sikh religion) have key characteristics such as as:

- humilty (never seeking the limelight or attention)

- service to other/community (whether this is by their hand or through maya, missionary work, this can be done in many forms

- standing on principles of truth and justice (this is essential, many saintly persons have been those willing to stand against various forms of tyranny and oppression- not just speak but also show in thei actions like Sant Jarnail SIngh Bhindranwalay

- their every action/thought/deed is around Gurmat/Seva/Simran (this can also occur with other faiths- eg Mother Teresa)

this is an interesting topic

My veechar is the first sant/Gurmukh who opened the dera may may have been a Sant. However when that Sant passes on the gadhi, it doesnt mean that gursikh getting the gadhi automatically becomes Sant. That Sant has kamai, but doesnt automatically make him a gurmukh. It just then becomes a seva. As the gadhi goes on and on, the kamai of the gursikh gets less and less.

in Anand Sahib (written by Guru Amar Daas Ji) guru ji says

"Aavoo sant pyario akath ki kari kahani, kare kahani akath keri kith dware paiyeh"

"Come, beloved saints, let us speak the unspoken speech of the lord, how can we speak the unspoken speech of the lord? which door will we find him"

is Guru Amar Daas Ji calling himself and speaking to himself in this thuk???

Bhai/Bheen Sahib ji,

Dass has clarified this in my previous post:

The 'Sant' word in Gurbani does not exclusively refers to human beings who have achieved Param Pad , it has also been used for Guru Sahib and also saints( holy souls, sadhsangat).

In this pangti, SatGuroo ji is making this call to all Sikh(devotees) in Sadhsangat form by calling them ''Santoh" in the end.

Here is the full translation of the 9th pauree of Sri Anand Sahib.

ਆਵਹੁ ਸੰਤ ਪਿਆਰਿਹੋ ਅਕਥ ਕੀ ਕਰਹ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥

Come, Beloved Saints, let us speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

ਕਰਹ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਅਕਥ ਕੇਰੀ ਕਿਤੁ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਪਾਈਐ ॥

How can we speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord? Through which door will we find Him?

ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਸਉਪਿ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਪਾਈਐ ॥

Surrender body, mind, wealth, and everything to the Guru; obey the Order of His Will, and you will find Him.

ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਿਹੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੇਰਾ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ॥

Obey the Hukam of the Guru's Command, and sing the True Word of His Bani.

ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਸੰਤਹੁ ਕਥਿਹੁ ਅਕਥ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥੯॥

Says Nanak, listen, O Saints(devotees), and speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord. ||9||

An enlighten spiritual soul would have already acheived their aim. What would be reason for Guru Sahib for asking them to surrender their mind ,body and soul again in the 3rd line? (if some still insist it refers to a 'mahapursh')

Such souls have already obeyed HIM, what is the reason to ask them to re-obey Vahiguroo again?

take note that,

ਸੰਤ ਪਿਆਰਿਹੋ = plural

ਸੰਤਹੁ = plural

The HUKAM given in the pangti above is same for all of Humanity and those who come to Sri Guru Ji's sharan and become his devotees.

There is a book by Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh ji called "Sant Pad Nirnai" . It will provide all the answers you might have regarding over this issue. Bhai Sahib has extensively quoted over 250 Gurbani lines to shed light in this issue.

im sorry but i dont agree with you here, regarding sants achieving their aim already - if someone has accepted sikhism they have to accept guru ji to obtain salvation, they can still be sant but they have to accept the puran guru 1st to get to sachkhand!! guru ji is referring to sant obeying guru jis hukam....regarding the gurmukhi and english translation of this - thats exactly what it says...what you have said is your own interpretation/assumption

in no way does guru ji refer to sant (in plural) as humaity......it literally says sants and nothing else....i dont mean to offend you or anyone else for that matter but we need accept bani for what it is and not make assumptions to suit our own beliefs - we all know wat happend to baba ram rai when he changed gurbani and the meaning of it (he was banished by guru ji and told never to return).....we need to understand gurbani in gurmukhi language.....although i feel the english translation does enough justice to wat i have said......reading and understanding the actual gurbani will always give a fuller understanding!!

    • 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?
