Basic question ਸਬਦੁ ਗੁਰ ਪੀਰਾ ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰਾ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਜਗੁ ਬਉਰਾਨੰ ॥ Why do Paath ? • Shabad Guru– invisible form of GOD! • Sabaḏ gur pīrā gahir gambẖīrā bin sabḏai jag ba▫urānaʼn. • The Word of the Shabad is his Guru and spiritual teacher, profound and unfathomable; without the Shabad, the world is insane. (SGGS 635)

  4. Why in Book / Granth form as Guru? Shabad Guru v/s human guru -rishi: gyaan—proud—started insulting others - shabad: immortal, pure form Gyaan hi Bhagwaan -be one with God

From her, kings are born. (SGGS 473) ਸੋ ਕਿਉ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿਤੁ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਰਾਜਾਨ ॥ • But if women equal to men than responsibility towards Sikhism is also same
