Ans. According to “Amar Naama”, when Guru Gobind Singh decided to leave this world, the first statement he made was that the Sikhs had been instilled with so much (spiritual) power that they would remain steadfast in their faith. By listening to the ballads from the ‘Dhaadhis’ they would stay enthusiastic for battles over righteous causes.
In a Sanskrit book entitled, “Nanak Chandra Uday Mahakaviyang”, the author, Pundit Dev Raj Sharma, has written that Bhai Nand Lal then asked the Guru, “who shall be our Guru from now on and who should we bow before; whose divine rights should we admit and with whom should we converse and get our doubts cleared?”Then Guru Gobind Singh replied, “from now on the spirit of the Guru is in Guru Granth Sahib and the body in the Panth. Search the Shabad for your spiritual satisfaction and if you want to see the Guru, look at the Khalsa. Seek the protection of God Almighty”.
