We all identify ourselves with our body and name. All the Holy
Gurus in line of succession identified themselves with the Holy
Name of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib. Sri Guru Nanak Sahib out of compassion
has chosen to identify Himself with the Holy Body of Sri Guru Granth
Sahib. It is His unbounded Mercy for us that He chose this sacred
identification for our sake, so that we could talk to Him, we could
hear Him, we could serve and love Him in this Holy Body, perceptible
to our physical senses. And it is again out of compassion that He
has chosen to reveal Himself in all His splendour and glory to the
chosen few, His true Divine lovers from this Divine Body and Form.
Sri Guru Nanak Sahib has not merely identified Himself with this
Holiest of the Holy scripture but eternally dwells and resides in
Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Bhagat Nam Dev's innocent child-like approach, sincere and deep
bhavna converted a stone image into God who had to, perforce, gracefully
accept the offered milk. Bhagat Dhana's pleadings, implorings and
later resolve to fast unto death compelled the Lord to appear from
the stone and accept the offered food. Their's was not the Pathar
Drishti or Stone Bhavna. Bhagwan Drishti and God Bhavna converted
the stone image into God. Pointing towards Sri Guru Granth Sahib :
Eh Jeonda, Jaagda, Bolda, Guru Nanak Hai
Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj
Sri Guru Granth Sahib is the Living, awake Sri Guru Nanak Sahib
who talks.
A true lover of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib is not content with
mere Kitab Drishti or Book Bhavna in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. With
proper orientation of mind, with yearning Guru Drishti, with Nirankar
Bhavna, he loves and worships Sri Guru Granth Sahib as the living
Sri Guru Nanak Sahib, as the living Lord. |
