GURU PANTH. The Guru Panth was a doctrine particularly suited to the circumstances of the 18th century, providing an effective means of decision making for Sikhs who were divided into several misls. When unification was achieved under Ranjit Singh the practice of eliciting corporate decisions from the Panth was discarded. The doctrine is still maintained today, and efforts are occasionally made to seek the Guru's will by this means. It is, however, seldom invoked. The voice of the Guru is much more commonly sought through the words of the Guru Granth.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+A+to+Z+of+Sikhism&rft.pages=%3Cspan+class%3D%22nowrap%22%3E84-%3C%2Fspan%3E86&rft.pub=Scarecrow+Press&rft.date=2009-07-24&rft.isbn=9780810863446&rft.aulast=McLeod&rft.aufirst=W.+H.&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASikh+gurus" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-:1-5"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-:1_5-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-:1_5-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://old.sgpc.net/sikhism/other-rites.asp">"Sikh Reht Maryada - Other Rites and Conventions: Guru Panth (Panth's Status of Guruhood)"</a>. <i>Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.

The spirit of Guru Nanak entered the bodies of his successors - Guru Angad, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjan. That was why each Guru was referred to as mahal: Guru Nanak as the first mahal, Guru Angad as the second mahal, and in this way Guru Arjan as the fifth mahal. A Sikh who does not regard Guru Arjan as Baba Nanak is not a true Sikh. The firm belief of the Sikhs is that all the Gurus are Nanak. Indeed, Bhai Gurdas underscores the unity of Guruship from Guru Nanak to Guru Hargobind in one of his Vaars. This is reiterated in another Vaar in which the metaphors of light and water are used to emphasize that they all are the same.The idea of the unity of Guruship emphasized by Bhai Gurdas legitimized the succession of Guru Hargobind to face the rival claim of Prithi Chand and his descendants.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Sikh+History+from+Persian+Sources%3A+Translations+of+Major+Texts&rft.place=New+Delhi&rft.pages=5&rft.pub=Tulika&rft.date=2001&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F47024480&rft.isbn=81-85229-17-1&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2Foclc%2F47024480&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASikh+gurus" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-11"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-11">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Sikh Rehat Maryada: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.gurunanakdarbar.net/sikhrehatmaryada.pdf">Section Six, Chapter XIII, Article XXIII, a.</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-:2-12"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-:2_12-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSingh2012" class="citation book cs1">Singh, Sikandar (2012). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/828612294"><i>Sikh heritage : ethos & relics</i></a>.

This led to a remarkable development in the institution of 'Guru-ship', which eventually became the Guru Panth, thus bestowing divinity on the people. ... The Sikh assemblies also acquired great sanctity, owing to the belief that the spirit of the Guru lived and moved among them collectively, the whole body being called the panth. This panth follows the path shown by the way the Gurus lived their lives, as also the precepts laid down by them. In turn, it is regarded as an embodiment of the Guru—Guru Panth. In 1699, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru, himself received baptism from the five Sikhs he had first initiated. The panth, the assembly and the Guru became one. After his demise, there was no living Guru for the Sikhs. The Shabad, in the presence of the sangat, became the Guru, the guiding light and in presence of Akalpurakh, the Timeless Being. The panth thus was invested with the personality of the Guru, and the incorporated Word became Gyan Guru (knowledge). This panth, called the Khalsa, was to be the Guru in spirit, and was authorised to work with collective responsibility, with Guru Granth Sahib as its guiding spirit.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Sikh+heritage+%3A+ethos+%26+relics&rft.place=New+Delhi&rft.pages=21%2C+23&rft.date=2012&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F828612294&rft.isbn=978-81-291-1983-4&rft.aulast=Singh&rft.aufirst=Sikandar&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldcat.org%2Foclc%2F828612294&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASikh+gurus" class="Z3988"></span><span class="cs1-maint citation-comment"><code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}}</code>: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_location_missing_publisher" title="Category:CS1 maint: location missing publisher">link</a>)</span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-13"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-13">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFTatla2005" class="citation book cs1">Tatla, Darsham Singh (8 August 2005). <i>The Sikh Diaspora: The Search For Statehood</i>.
