Dandauth Bandhna ji
SatNaam Baba Ji has always said there are two ways to God - either directly blessed by God Himself, or blessed by the one who has become One with God.

Baba Nanak Ji's SatGuru was God Himself. But Bhai Lehna Ji's SatGuru was Baba Nanak.
SatNaam Baba Ji himself was blessed directly by God and Dassan Dass Ji came to SatNaam Baba Ji for blessings.
There is nothing wrong with whichever way a person goes. It is as per their destiny. Baba Farid ji tried all his life to find god by himself - 36 years of hardships on his body because he thought that would please God. but int he end his destiy took him to his SatGuru whom he surrendered everything to, because having tried all his life by himself he realised it was not in his hands, he was stuck and only when his Satguru gave him the Naam did his spiritual dreams come true.
Whereas Baba Nanak ji also tried everything to find God including meeting all kinds of sadhu sants (story of serving food to them as well as others), Baba Nanak ji also tried physical hardship - eating posionous akk leaves and sand (Baba ji said that Baba Nanak thought if he physically died then god would appear to him) but God did bless Baba Nanak ji directly, rather than make him go to someone else like Farid Ji had to.
Same story with Baba Nand singh - divinely blessed since childhood, gave up everything for God, even went to Guru gobind Singh ji's final place - Hazur Sahib to meditate and had vision of the tenth Guru - not blessing shim with Naam, but telling him he needed to goto Baba Harnaam Singh ji for the blessings of Naam.
Who is going to get blessed and how and when they are going to get blessed, get the GurParsaad of Naam, is in God's hands and happens as per each indivduals bhaag - meaning depending what they have sown in the past. Baba Nanak Ji was a divine soul already and was able to receive direct blessings. Even SatNaam Baba ji said in his last 4 lifetime he has been a divine soul (Guru/Pir ), so when he started his bhagti in this life, his soul carried on from where it had left off and God blessed him directly.

However, majority of people soul is not that advanced to be able to just sit and meditate and "pierce the diamond" as Baba ji says through their own efforts in just this lifetime.
That is the key, we all try in the beginning by ourself, and most of us do not get very far at all, either give up or find some kind of comfort zone in our belief system which makes us feel peaceful, but not to a point where we become Truth-realised beings. We also went through that in our own bhagti - became initiated sikh, tried very, very hard for 8 yrs doing sangat of all the sikh spiritual leaders that came to southall from all over the world - Sants, Bhai Sahibs, Gianis, Jathedars, Yogi Bhajan, Sant Singh Maskeen and so many others. Even going to India on pilgrimages to the historical places, with great devotion and full committment but still not realising my spiritual dreams. In the end we gave up our own efforts, like Baba Farid Ji, we realised, realising God is not in our hands. And we started praying that we need a Sant, a Guru, only someone who has realised God can help us. We are tired of reading books of past Gurus and Sants, we are tired of going on pilgrimages and routine of going to gurdwara and getting nowhere - everyone giginv advice, telling stories, singing shabads, but no one having a one-to-one relationship with god - no one at that level, no one who can tell me about my beloved.
har keea kathaa kahaneeaa gurmeet sunaayaa
my friend the Guru tells me all about God.
So we had to try and fail by your own efforts, to become humble enough to realise in our destiny we would need a Sant Guru, and Dassan Dass ji's email came the next day 10 yrs ago.
The best thing for everyone is to have the thirst for god and then to try 100% whichever way appeals to them and find out for yourself from inside what works and what doesn't. Tht is all we have ever done.
God Bless all.
