As it is written in the Bani: Shabad Guru, Surat Dhun Chela.
We have also read: Aad Gureh Nameh, Jugad Gureh Nameh, Satgureh Nameh....
This means, Wahiguru is the Guru since the begining, He has been so in each and every age, and when He comes at our human level, He is known as Satguru.
Having said that, obviously, as some Mahapurush has said: the real Guru is not the body, neither the real disciple is the body. Both of them have to shed away their bodies one day, as anything made of one, two... or all the five elements has to decay or perish sooner or later.
So the real disciple is our soul, and the real Guru is the Shabad, and this Guru as such, never perishes, is eternal, is self sufficient and is a level of Highest Consciousness. And this Consciousness can never be stilled for eternity in perishable and inert objects, such as those made of paper, stone, ink, wood, plastic or metal...or any alike. These things can only be as much as reminders only, but are not at all, what we tend to believe and take them: as truth, this is called or known as manmukhta, avidya or agyanta. This highest Consciousness, which is beyond the limits of mind and matter, can make us aware of our limitations, and make us elevate our souls to it`s level. This Consciouness when condensed and manifested in the highest form possible as human body, is called Satguru or Pooran Guru, which can talk to us in a clear and simple way like us to make us understand and inspire in us the quest for this Highest and eternal Truth, as it is beautifully said in the Bani: Paarbraham, Parmeshwar Anoop, Safal murat...Gur,tiska roop.
My God...such a noble and great expression; can ever a human mind think ever about it? The answer is No... only someone coming from that highest level can say such things. Because we are mugadhs, we are murakhs.
At our worldly level, students or professors, leave each other at some time... but the spiritual Guru never leaves our souls. Though any may have part sooner or later, but this relationship of love and care, once started by and with a Pooran Sant Satguru, continues without interruption on the spiritual planes, only that now both of them are without physical bodies, in astral planes both continue with their subtle astral bodies, and then on causal plane, again with their still finer bodies, and after Daswan Dwar or PaarBraham, even that causal bodies are left behind, then and only then, that Satguru, which once on the lower regions of the creation such as physicall, astral and causal , merged from the Shabad to fulfill His(Wahiguru) job for some particular souls, to them He imparted the technique of Nam or Shabad, which is known as Gurparsad mentioned on each page, and also in the beginning of the Granth Sahib.
So as said before, after crossing Paarbraham region, there is utter darkness up to Sach Khand, then that Satguru, with His real form of light and the sound of Shabad, guides the real disciple or soul up to the lap of Satpurush, Satnam of Wahiguru. This is the real Guru of which the Bani talks about, not any other, to whom we should seek and offer Him our love and devotion. As it is also said: Agam Agochar Prabh Abnasee, Pooray Gur te paaya.
The full Granth Sahib, is nothing but mahima or greatness of these following 3 (Satnam, Shabad and Satguru), like water as liquid, solid as ice and vapour in gas state, but same in essence….. so in a similar way, Satnam, Shabad or Nam and Satguru are same in essence and nature, though apparently different in aspects. Everything is clear and simple in the pure paviter Bani, it is in the language of divine love, light of wisdom, and the sound of truth...but we people do not understand it`s greatness, to where our Gurus pointed and chalked the way for us, up to the extent that even they gave their lives for us, out of their daya meher for us, but we are such donkeys, that we do not cling on the truth of their teachings and give importance to them, which are precious and priceless diamonds, but rather we give more importance to the jewel box. Are we not murakhs by doing so?
Without Shabad, there is no Wahiguru and without Wahiguru there is no Satguru.
Shabad, Shabad and Shabad...nothing more... all is Shabad. And all this, how do we come to know? Due to the grace of Shabad, in the form of Satguru; like Guru Nanak and the following nine, like Kabir Sahib, like Guru Ravi Das, like Paltu Sahib, like Bhagat Nam Dev, etc.
This Shabad can manifest at any time and any place(in the human form only, not any other), it can be at one time, at one at 2 or three places, like in Guru Nanak and Kabir Sahib, both were contemporaries, it is all His Mauj, or He can witheld Himself for some limited time, and for all this, we mortals can neither question nor understand.
