Guru - The Divine Light

GU- means darkness and

RU- means Light.

In Sikhism the word ‘Guru’ is, thus, defined as the Light that dispels all darkness, and that is called JOT (Divine Light). Guru Nanak was, therefore, the EMBODIMENT of Divine Light:

‘Gur Nanak Dev Govind roop.’

‘Guru Nanak is embodiment of the Light of God.’

(Basant Mohalla 5, p-1192, Guru Granth Sahib)

The Guru in sikhi is a perfect Prophet or Messenger of God in whom the Light of God shines fully, Guru is in union with Divine. Thus he ushers the devotees, into a spiritual path of truth. Through the guru the Glory of the Lord is transmitted to humanity.

Though God is everywhere and in everybody but His traits are illuminated through the Guru. The Jot (Divine Light) that enshrined Guru Nanak’s body and the Primal Jot of God are, therefore, one and the same:

‘Gur Nanak Nanak har soai.’

‘O Nanak, Jot of Nanak and God are one.’

(Gaund Mohalla 5, p-865)

When Guru Nanak conferred Guruship on Bhai Lehna (later called Guru Angad), the JOT was passed on and Guru Angad too became the embodiment of Divine Light. In the same way all the nine Gurus were the embodiments of Gur Nanak Jot. (i.e one candle lighting another candle) The tenth Master, Guru Gobind Singh then conferred the Guruship on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, which too became the embodiment of Divine Light. Gur Nanak JOT is, therefore, enshrined and preserved in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and it is the Living Guru for ever.

note: that salvation is only obtained with the grace of the true guru.(sri guru granth sahib ji) all other pankandis such as the radhoswamis and namdharis who bel

ieve in thier fake gurus are on the wrong path and are losing their salvation through their ignorance.

Baba Nand Singh Jee used to say..

"Amrit Bani (Gurbani) was the Guru from the very beginning. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib illuminated the world through Gurbani. The same divine Jot continued the process of illumination through Gurbani in the luminous form of Sri Guru Angad Sahib. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib continued the divine process through Sri Guru Amar Das Ji and so on. Illumination continues unabated through the same Gurbani from Sri Guru Granth Sahib. For Gurmukhs, the eternal illumination is flowing straight from the holy lips of Jot Roop Har Guru Nanak whereas others only perceive a holy book in front. Sri Guru Granth Sahib is 'JAAGDI JOT', LIVING SRI GURU NANAK SAHIB "
