ਕੀ ‘ਗੁਰਮੰਤਰ’ ਵਾਕਈ ਨਾਵਾਂ-ਵਿਸ਼ਨੂੰ, ਹਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ, ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਮ ਤੋਂ ਲਏ ਗਏ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਅੱਖਰ ਹਨ?
The word Waheguru expresses a feeling of wonder at the ways of the almighty.It can be called a ਵਿਸਮਾਦੀ name of the Lord.One cannot comprehend His ways.One can just wonder at the Creation. Hence the expression wah!!! wah!!!. that is expressed as waheguru.

An idle mind is devil's workshop. We must keep it busy with something positive. If we keep our consciousness busy with the thoughts of the mighty, it will not run run amuck and be under control

See lessIf we are blessed with Khande Di Pahul by Panj Pyare from a certain jathebandi who then give rehat according to their jatha – are we bound by this rehat or can we stick with the Panthic Rehat Maryada if it is more aligned with our beliefs?
if someone gives instructions which are contrary to the instructions given in Rehat Maryada it should not be followed . One is expected to read as much gurbani as possible, as such giving instructions to read more banis is not givivd contrary instructions.

The correct wors are ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਕਾ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਛੋਡਿਆ ਮਾਇਆ ਹਾਥ ਬਿਕਾਨਾ। The line is from a sabad composed by Guru Teg Bahadur ji. it reprimands the man who indulges in worldly affairs and is engrossed in Maya, for never focussing on the Almighty who is the source of all life on earth. ,

Do we believe in the devil? The opposite of god?
No there is nothing like God and devil set against each other. In Sikhism we believe in ਸਭ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਹੈ। ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੋਈ। Whatever there is is a different form of the Creator.

See lessWhatever there is is a different form of the Creator. To us the ones who don’t possess a deep insight, certain things may appear antogonistic to others but for a man with divine insight there is nothing in this world apart from the True One. A sabad in Guru Granth Sahib says:
ਆਪੇ ਮਾਛੀ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਆਪੇ ਪਾਣੀ ਜਾਲ
It means He himself is the fisherman, He Himself is the fifth, water and He Himself is the net to catch the fish with.
Anyone with a shallow insight will object to thge statement saying that it is not possible for any to be all this at the same time.
But gurbani rejects the idea of duality and believes that there is nothing apart from God, nothing antogonistic to God. Even the entity called Devil by us cannot act on its own. It is subservient to the Almighty and acts according to His Will. There is nothing beside Him.
