The Guru we revere and to whom we bow is the embodiment of the Shabad. Our Guru is the same as Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Guru. It is the eternal Shabad that has existed, and will forever exist, through all time. It is the manifestation of the Formless One through sound.
When Bhai Nand Lal asked Guru Gobind Singh Ji, "“My master, you have said to have your darshan. How can I have your presence?” Guru Ji replied thusly: “Listen astutely Nand. I am known by three aspects: Nirgun (unmanifest), Sirgun (manifest) and GurShabad (Guru’s word). I will explain it to you. Nirgun is beyond all material things. As the Vedas many times say, ‘Neither this, nor that.’ It is the Lord in every heart, is pervasive like water in a pitcher. The second form of mine is the written teaching. Accept this as part of me. Treat its letters as the hairs of my body, for this is truly so. Sikhs who wish to have the Guru’s darshan will do so when they come to the Granth. Read the rest of this story.
As part of SikhNet's 20th anniversary on the Web, we are publishing this special section devoted to Sacredness of, and Reverence for Gurbani. We will be adding new content throughout the year.
