Bhatt Gayand ji

Bhatt Gayand ji was the son of Bhatt Chokha ji and the younger brother of Bhatt Kallh Sahar ji. He also went to saints, peers and Pundits just like his brothers in order to get inner peace initially but was very disappointed. He wandered throughout India and finally reached Goindwal Sahib after he heard about the glory of Guru Arjun Dev ji. He was impressed with the teachings and the life style of Guru Arjun Dev ji. He decided to stay with his brother in the shelter of Guru Arjun Dev ji and become a devoted sikh. After seeing how Guru Arjun Dev ji has shaped his life in teachings of Sikhism, Gayand ji was ready to sacrifice his everything to the Great Guru. An internal thought always came to his mind that from where did Guru Arjun Dev ji acquire all these blessings ? He got the answer that Guru Arjun Dev ji received it from Guru Ram Das ji and Guru Ram Das ji got it from Guru Amar Das ji. Guru Amar Das ji got this divine light from Guru Angad Dev ji. Guru Nanak Dev ji gave this light to Guru Angad Dev ji. According to Bhai Gurdas ji’s var1st, pauri 45 :

Guru Nanak now transformed himself. This mystery is incomprehensible for anybody that awe-inspiring (Nanak) accomplished a wonderful task. He converted (his body) into a new form.

Also in vaar 1stpauri 46 it is stated as :

With the same mark (on the forehead), the same canopy he radiated on the Throne. The power Guru Nanak had is now with Guru Angad was publically proclaimed all around. Guru Angad left Kartarpur and scattered his light while sitting at Khadur. Action seeds of the previous births sprout; all other ingenuinities are false. Having received the celestial gift from Guru Angad, the Guru, in the form of Amar Das is seated. Guru Amar Das founded Goindval. The wondorous play was beyond sight. Gift received from the earlier Gurus further enhanced the grandeur of the Light.

The Divine light which came into existence in the physical form of Guru Nanak Dev ji. How it was passed on from one Guru to the other Guru in the form of four Gurus, how it helped to preach and spread the religious sect started by Guru Nanak Dev ji for the benefit of the entire humanity is clearly shown by Bhatt Gayand ji in his own words as stated on page 1401 :

Guru Nanak dwells near the Creator Lord. He established Lehnaa as Guru, and enshrined His Light in the world. Lehnaa established the path of righteousness and Dharma, which He passed on to Guru Amar Daas, of the Bhalla dynasty. Then, He firmly established the Great Raam Daas of the Sodhi dynasty. He was blessed with the inexhaustible treasure of the Lord's Name. He was blessed with the treasure of the Lord's Name; throughout the four ages, it is inexhaustible. Serving the Guru, He received His reward. Those who bow at His Feet and seek His Sanctuary,are blessed with peace; those Gurmukhs are blessed with supreme bliss. The Guru's Body is the Embodiment of the Supreme Lord God, our Lord and Master, the Form of the Primal Being, who nourishes and cherishes all. So serve the Guru, the True Guru; His ways and means are inscrutable. The Great Guru Raam Daas is the Boat to carry us across.

Describing the greatness of the Gurus, Bhatt Gayand ji emphasizes the point that we mortals should abide by the order of Guru so that we can pass this vast ocean of life. We must not make lame excuses guided by our clever mind. Guru ji is the ship and the sailor to help us cross the ocean of existence. No body can pass this ocean without the Guru. We get unison with God Almighty with the grace of Guru. As stated on page 1401 :

True are the Words of the Guru's teachings. Enshrine them in your soul. Emancipate your body, and redeem this human incarnation. The Guru is the Boat, and the Guru is the Boatman. Without the Guru, no one can cross over. By Guru's Grace, God is obtained. Without the Guru, no one is liberated.

In all the Swayias Bhatt Gayand ji has admired and praised the divine light as well as the Gurus, through whom this divine light kept on preaching and spreading the pure divine word. The physical form of Guru’s are worth respecting too because there is not even a bit of difference between Divine Light and the Gurus. This has been witnessed by Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji on page 262 :

The Divine Guru is the True Guru, the Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord; Nanak bows in humble reverence to the Lord, the Divine Guru.

And on page 1142 :

Nanak has studied the Simritees and the Vedas. There is no difference between the Supreme Lord God and the Guru.

Bhatt Gayand ji has supported the order of Great Gurus and showed that the Guru is the form of the Creator God Almighty. He emphasizes the need to obey the Guru’s order. As stated on page 1403 : Enshrine this most excellent Name within your heart, and renounce the wickedness of the mind, O Gayand the True Guru, the True Guru, the True Guru is the Lord of the Universe Himself. We should gain benefit from the positive teachings contained in the personal experiences of these scholars so that both of our worlds(lok, parlok) can be rectified.
