Anything that preaches the love of god is the true path to Waheguru.

Gurbani came direct from Waheguru, equality cannot be questioned where Gods name is the highest.

If today you write something that preaches the love of god is the true path to Vaheguru, would it be equal to Gurbani and it can be worshipped like Gurbani?

I didn't delete it.

But why don't I see it ?

[StarStriker 1,062]

some religions have SOME of the elements of truth compared to others, whereas gurbani has ALL of the truth! Remember our texts r the only ones that were written by the gurus/prophets of that religion. All religions prophets were given the same message by god (uncut hair, meditate on gods name, do good deeds, reincarnation, be shastardhari etc), yet only some relgiions believe in some of these things, whereas sikhi belivies in all of it.

Your question is "Is Gurbani Equal To Other Religious Texts", u shud change it to, "Are Other Religious Texts equal to gurbani?"

The answer to both questions is NO! Gurbani comes straight from guru, therefore nothing is equal to it!

We don't worship Gurbani. We recite Gurbani, we contemplate Gurbani and then we take it on board and that allows us to get closer to god. By your logic no other person until after Guru Sahib revealed Gurbani has ever reached Mukhti.

You shouldn't restrict Gurbani to only Sikhism. Our founders were critical to some of the practices of the religion, but they never once called them false paths to god.

No theyre not equal. They've all been edited by man. Gurbani has not.

Poster kira, please answer my question.

Poster Akali Fauj, I beg you to next time when you try to call me out at-least read what I write. Muhammed,Jesus, the Vedas were all stated to have been God's work but the writers and composers let their pride install other more redundant aspects in there. Do I believe their equality to Gurbani is real? no I believe Gurbani is untampered and as a result pure from corruption and in extension Superior. Do I believe however that a muslim or a hindu who will pray to god with complete love and devotion will be heard? yes they will, doing a Namaaz or even a Pooja towards god and no one else is exactly what Gurbani teaches us to do so by extension yes they too can experience the same sensations of the love of god that we can. The methods to praise god are endless.

I apologize if my wording sucked but that was essentially the message of my posts.

To answer your question I am not a messenger of god, time and time again Gurbani asserted that these texts were an attempt to establish a direct path to god. There is a kernel of truth in them and for a true follower of god it is enough for them to see which is in line with Gurbani and which is not. That is why our Guru Granth Sahib is composed of other writers who don't associate themselves with Sikhism but god.

If I were to write something, no it would be redundant. But if its written in texts that Gurbani has confirmed with authenticity then yes their true.

You should now answer my question. Do you think that anyone before the Guru Sahib got Mukhti or not?

The Highest word is the word of god. God has many names, many forms of meditating. Saying that Salvation is only possible for a Sikh is ignorant.

There was a really good presentation on Basics of Sikhi about this but I cannot find it, do this is the nearest I could find:

I believe Guru Sahib is the same but different to Vaheguru, and existed before everyone. However, I do not believe Guru Sahib and Vaheguru are restricted to sikhs. Everyone is destined for Saachkhand, and since Guru Sahib and Vaheguru are beyond time they are always with everyone but their love is more accessible to someone who has pure qualities e.g. compassion, innocence, humility and etc.

Be my mouthpiece next time please. You phrase things so much better than I xD
