in you article , you said that sikhs worship the guru granth sahib. Well i don't think we are suppose to worship a book even some sikhs do. The words contained inside the book must be understood and we should learn from these. What good is worshipping a book? The only person who may be worshipped could be God more or less. By reading the guru granth sahib, we should become better people.

Caught you! Shame on you! The Siri Guru Granth Sahib is not a book. It is the sound current of God realisation. It is a living Guru, and contains the light of all the Gurus'. The recitation of the Shabd whether you understand it or not, whether you are a sikh or not, will impact your brain and psyche to give you an experience of your own God self or an inner state of total awareness.

The Siri Guru Granth Sahib is the pipeline and garanteed guide to God and God consciousness. It is the spiritual revelations of many masters of our time. It is not a code book!

We do not needs to become better people we are already are the best God could create. We are perfect because we were created by a perfect Creator. Our battle is between the ramblings of our mind and the screaming of our body. The Shabd in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib can cut the ego, and bring us to an internal state where the peace and experience of truth flows to us.

Your definition of the Guru is a result of limited experience. Guru can give all power and understanding to the one who devotes himself or herself to the wisdom and worship of the Shabd of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib

This is not a debate. Realise the power for yourself with this 40 day experiment. Read the Jap Ji Sahib translation every day for the next 40 days...if you miss a day, you must start from day 1 again. Read it out loud so that you can hear yourself and become absorbed in your sound.....same time every day....quiet place where you can become totally absorbed and free from distractions. You will find the translation at www.sikhnet.com/s/gurugranthsahib
look under English translation. DOOOOOOO it and have a great time expanding your experience and knowledge....you know nothing about the Guru....this will make you a master of your destiny and give you a most deep understanding of life
