You may need to watch these videos a few times to really understand them. This is very deep vichaar by Giani Gurdev Singh ji.

video 1: Sidhant of Gurmat: [video.google.com]

video 2: Aspect of Nirgun Sargun Upasna and Amrit Dhristi: [video.google.com]

from www.sikhawareness.com

With all the due respect to Sant jee, I feel that Sants with background in Nirmalas, explain Gurbani and Gurmat through the lens of Vedant. Sant jee too mentions Vedant several times in his books and lectures.

My question is, is Vedant according to Gurmat? Is Advaitvaad preached by Vedant, according to Gurmat?

Vedant in my opinion is opposed to Prema-Bhagti because they don't believe in a God separate from the Jeev and consider jeev to be God (Aham Brahmasiya) but as far as I know, Gurmat is all about Prema-bhagti. Aham-Brahmasiya is not according to Gurmat. Tu Tu karta Tu hooya (not mai hooya), mujh meh raha na hoo. In other words, Mai became tum but not tum becoming mai as is the case in Vedant.

There is no doubt that Vedant is a great philosophy and it worked very well to tackle Buddhism's atheism but it is far from the Gurmat philosophy of Vaheguru and jeev. It would be interesting to know Sant jee's or their companions' views on Vedant and Gurmat.

Finally I offer salutations to my Gurdev/Murshid

All efforts blossom forth

Sat Sri Akaal !

Good to hear from you N3O jeeo. I inadvertantly posted my post under this thread. I had intended to post it under one of the threads where Sant Jagjit Singh jee's updesh was written.

Yes, I did meet Giani Gurdev Singh jee when he came to Gurdwara Tapoban Sahib few years ago. I found Giani jee to be a very amicable and knowledgeable person.
