In Sikh scriptures Guru can means (1.) internal Guru or God, (also sometimes interpreted as Shabad as well) or (2.) a physical Guru as well.
A disciple of the Guru; A learner. Does not necessarily need to be of Sikhism.
a Sikh is one who finds a Guru
a gursikh is one who kills control of the mind and adopts the guru way
a saint is one who is always at peace but also who is in presence of the Guru
Purpose
Without the Guru/God's grace good qualities cannot be produced.[1] The knowledge of good deeds and good qualities comes from the Guru; it is through His grace all good actions can be performed my humble reader. Doing good deeds thus then allows bhagti to happen which without good qualities is not possible.[2]
No Guru Available
According to the Vacana scriptures, "If you have no satisfactory teacher, then take this sure Dharma and practice it. For the Dharma is sure, and when rightly undertaken it will be to your welfare and happiness for a long time."[3]
