Nanak Nirankaar

Sat Naam Ji

Dandauth Bandhna Ji,

 

it is important to understand that Nanak never called himself God, even though His followers did and still do.

It is important to understand that Guru Gobind Singh ji Himself also said "I am aservant of the Supreme come here to watch the play of the world."

Also Surinder Singh Ji has only ever declared himslef oas "Dassan Dass" meaning servant of God's servants.

And Baba Ji has also said that he is also only SAT RAM DAS - servant of God of Truth.

 

It is very wrong to start saying that a human being is God.  A Christian friend once told me that Jesus was God.  A Sai Baba friend told me that

Sai Baba Ji is God on Earth.   god is never born and never dies, but the body of men are perishable wether it was Guru Nanak, Jesus, Sai Baba or whoever.

 

Nanak Nirankaar doesn't mean Nanak is God.  It means God is Nanak.

Just as God is Jesus.

God is Sai Baba.

God is Dassan Dass.

God is Baba Ji.

 

Baba Ji said that God never enters the Creation i.e. is never born.  But the closest He comes is as manifested light in the heart of His servant.

 

So please do not say or believe that a person is God, but God is fully manifested in the servant's heart.

 

Whichever set of followers have believed their own Guru to be God have in the end become narrow minded.  If Christians belieeve Jesus is god then thay are trying to convert the whole world into Jesus followers instead of worshippers of the One God.  If sikhs call Guru gobind singh Ji or Guru Nanak Ddev Ji as God then they have made them into devi-devtas - lesser gods and forget the One True god that actually all of our Gurus and Bhagats and Guru Granth Sahib Ji teach us about.

 

It is a subtle but important difference.  People in the sangat have started saying "Baba ji is God, or Dassan Dass Ji is God."  But they themselves have never said that, so please do not reduce them to the levels of devi-devtas.  The devi-devtas were the 330 Million blessed souls, who became trapped at lower spiritual levels because they got themselves worshipped as the One God.

 

We hope you understand the subtle difference.  God is the Greatest, God has manfiested in the heart of our Gurus.  God is our Guru.  God is Baba Nanak, God is Guru gobind Singh Ji, God is Baba Ji, god is Dassan Dass ji.   But none of them is the complete God. 

 

Please forgive our mistakes.
