[harsharan000]

The Bani says: Shabad Guru, Dhun Chela.

Means, Wahiguru Akal Purukh is the original Guru, true from the beginning even now and for the remaining ages. Aad Gureh Nameh, Jugad Gureh Nameh, Satguru Dev Nameh.

Wahiguru Akal Purukh is the only Sach.

Why do we call it the only Sach? Because, it is eternal, it is not perishable, it is changeless, it is beyond time, space, beyond mind and kal...it is thus Parbraham....it is ooch....it is Apaar...it is Beant Soami.

And of this wonderful Wahiguru, our soul is a ray emanated from it. So naturally, it has to merge back, like a drop of water in the mighty and huge Ocean.

So as the Bani says Shabad Guru, Dhun chela,,,, means our soul(disciple) has to return into the real form of Wahiguru Akal Purukh...which is Shabad.

That is why the Bani says: Shabde Dhartee....Shabde Akash....Shabde Shabad bhaya prakash. Saglee shrishtee Shabad ke paache. Nanak, Shabade, ghate ghat aachhe.

Means , the earth, the light, the skies, the whole of the universe, the whole creation(seen or unseen) , is because of this Shabad.

At other place it states: Sabna Jeea ka Iko Daata.

This Shabad, Wahiguru, is the creator of all beings, and is also the universal giver to all of them.

But then, giver of what?

Giver of His unlimited Daya Meher, His Bakshish, His Drishti, His unbounded love, just like of a mother to its child....nay ....much much.....thousands of times more than that.

Because a limited being, can give something limited.

But the infinite Wahiguru, gives it, with His hands openly, without any limtations or reservations.

That is why the Bani also says: Jayvad Aap....Tayvad teree Daat

The thing is, He is a bountifull giver; but we are poor beggars ......

We are here, because we are separated from Him, from our Nijh Ghar Sach Khand. And this is due to to the filth of mind , the karmas, the 5 vices: kaam, krodh,. lobh, moh, ahankar ..... which have enchained us in this perishable creation ..... so unless we make us ourselves pure and, paviter, and become fit by His grace, to remove all this dirt from our souls.....only then, can we merge in Him.

The Bani also says: Bhai parapat manukh deh hooriya, Gobind milan kee yeh teree baariya.

Means we have been blessed with this human birth, for the only and sole purpose of becoming one with Him.

In short, Wahiguru Akal Purukh is our origin,and also our destination, and this is our primal duty.

He is the fountain of eternal love, bliss, peace .....and this is what we all long for ....and this is only to be got, by merging ourselves, our souls, in the only Infinite Wahiguru Akal Purukh.

Listen to "Siddh Ghost" and read its translations. Should be accessible via YouTube. Its a dialogue between Siddhas and Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Should answer all your questions

[Balbir Singh]

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal,

Dear all and 13Mirch jee,

You have raised many questions in this post.

Your first question is 'How does Gurbani define manmukh, Gurmukh.'

Please listen. Gurdev is singing.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਗੁਣ ਤੈ ਬਾਹਰੇ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਮਰਦੇ ਝੂਰਿ ॥੨॥

मनमुख गुण तै बाहरे बिनु नावै मरदे झूरि ॥२॥

Manmukh gun tai baahre bin naavai marde jhoori. ||2|| SGGS 27-17

Manmukhs gunas are extrinsic. Without Naam, they die in frustration. ||2||

*****

ਇਸੁ ਜੁਗ ਮਹਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖ ਨਿਰਮਲੇ ਸਚਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਹਹਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥

इसु जुग महि गुरमुख निरमले सचि नामि रहहि लिव लाइ ॥

Is jug mahi gurmukh nirmale sachi naami rahahi liv laa▫e. SGGS 430-4

In this age, the Gurmukhs are nirmale remaining absorbed through True Naam.

-----

The second question is 'Are other religions full of manmukhs?'

Perhaps you want to know about sick preachers and their followers. In my observation most of them are manmukhs.

Gurmukhs through Satigur are rare.

-----

Your next question is 'What happens to their adherents when they die?'

Gurdev is singing. Please listen.

ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਭੀ ਮਰਹਿ ਜਮ ਦਰਿ ਹੋਹਿ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੭॥

मनमुख मरि मरि जमहि भी मरहि जम दरि होहि खुआरु ॥७॥

Manmukh mar mar jamahi bhee marahi jam dar hohi khu▫aar. ||7||

Manmukhs die again and again, getting birth also, die again for rebirth miserably. ||7||

-----

Your last question is 'Can their prophets be considered as their Gurus?'

Gurdev is singing. I hope the readers will ponder.

ਗੁਰੂ ਜਿਨਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਧੁਲਾ ਸਿਖ ਭੀ ਅੰਧੇ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇਨਿ ॥

गुरू जिना का अंधुला सिख भी अंधे करम करेनि ॥

Guroo jinaa kaa andhulaa sikh bhee andhe karam kareni.

The disciples whose Guroo is blind, act blindly as well.
