Ratikala ji you are right, i was wrong ... it's Diksha not dakshina.and prabhu you seem to enjoy correcting others , so unfortunately I had better tell you "guru dakshina "has nothing to do with initiation :no: guru daksina , is a gift or token of appriciation , given by the disciple to the guru :yes:
Prabhu ji .........thankyou prabhu ji ratikala
Guru Initiation is like "Starter Curd", As we cannot give birth to "Curd" --- without the help of starter curd, similarly we cannot give birth to "True-love or godly love" without the help of "Starter Love"...... Truely this is diksha.guru initiation (guru initiation mantra )? "please give nice
Nice reply Onkara. Thanks :namaste
It is fascinating. All glory to Sri Guru Granth Sahib :bow:
For example:
Dualist or Dvaita: A strong sense of separation from Waheguru.
Page 13, Line 19
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸੁ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਮਾਗੈ ਮੋ ਕਉ ਕਰਿ ਸੰਤਨ ਕੀ ਧੂਰੇ ॥੪॥੫॥
नानक दासु इहै सुखु मागै मो कउ करि संतन की धूरे ॥४॥५॥
Nānak ḏās ihai sukẖ māgai mo ka▫o kar sanṯan kī ḏẖūre. ||4||5||
Nanak, Your slave, begs for this happiness: let me be the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||4||5||

Bheda or a sense of seperation in unison with Waheguru. A sense that man and God are linked but there is a difference:
Page 11, Line 16
ਤੁਧੁ ਆਪਿ ਵਿਛੋੜਿਆ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥੧॥
तुधु आपि विछोड़िआ आपि मिलाइआ ॥१॥
Ŧuḏẖ āp vicẖẖoṛi▫ā āp milā▫i▫ā. ||1||
You Yourself separate them from Yourself, and You Yourself reunite with them again. ||1||
Guru Ram Das - view Shabad/Paurhi/Salok
And finally a sense of Advaita or non-difference - union and no duality:
Page 1428, Line 1
ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਨਹੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚੀ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੨੯॥
हरि जन हरि अंतरु नही नानक साची मानु ॥२९॥
Har jan har anṯar nahī Nānak sācẖī mān. ||29||
There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true. ||29||

There are many more wonderful examples.
