Concept Of Warrior God In Guru Granth Sahib Jee!


Recommended Posts

In Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, God has been described as the greatest warrior. He is called Maha-kaal, Assi-dhuj, Assi-paan.

I was doing paath and found this amazing tukk. Even in Sri Guru Granth Sahib, God has been called the GREATEST WARRIOR EVER.

ਦਰਸਨਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਭਵਨ ਪੁਨੀਤਾ ॥
दरसनि तेरै भवन पुनीता ॥
Ḏarsan ṯerai bẖavan punīṯā.
The body-temple is sanctified by the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan,
ਆਤਮ ਗੜੁ ਬਿਖਮੁ ਤਿਨਾ ਹੀ ਜੀਤਾ ॥
आतम गड़ु बिखमु तिना ही जीता ॥
Āṯam gaṛ bikẖam ṯinā hī jīṯā.
and thus, the impregnable fort of the soul is conquered.
ਤੁਮ ਦਾਤੇ ਤੁਮ ਪੁਰਖ ਬਿਧਾਤੇ ਤੁਧੁ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਸੂਰਾ ਜੀਉ ॥੩॥
तुम दाते तुम पुरख बिधाते तुधु जेवडु अवरु न सूरा जीउ ॥३॥
Ŧum ḏāṯe ṯum purakẖ biḏẖāṯe ṯuḏẖ jevad avar na sūrā jī▫o. ||3||
You are the Giver, You are the Architect of Destiny. There is no other warrior as great as You. ||3||

There is nothing that God cannot be. Yet, perhaps you're taking this too literally, Singh Ji? In the previous line the soul is compared to an "impregnable fort." That doesn't literally make the soul a fort with associated ramparts, a drawbridge, etc., does it? Perhaps the use of "warrior" in the above context refers to His spiritual qualities having an unshakable, warrior-esque determination to overcome the impossible?
