Guru Granth Sahib ji ki bani -⁠
ਸੋ ਟਿਕਾ ਸੋ ਬੈਹਣਾ ਸੋਈ ਦੀਬਾਣੁ ॥⁠
Same Tikka/Tilak (forehead mark), same Seat, same Court of Guru Nanak Dev ji.⁠
⁠
Here is Baba Budda ji performing the ceremony for Guru Angad Dev ji, on His Gurgaddi Diwas (Sep 26). Baba ji applies Tilak on Guru ji's forehead and pronounces Him as the Second Guru after Guru Nanak Dev ji.⁠
⁠
Guru Nanak Dev ji watches the process on the right. Adi Guru ji is wearing His signature Topi and holding a Mala. He departed 5 days later. Today is his death anniversary.

This image shows a Fresco from Baba Attal Rai Boonga, Harmandir Sahib.⁠

Many Sikhs do not know this today, but wearing Tilak on the forehead was quite normal for the Gurus and Sikhs in our history.

I wanted to preserve this knowledge by depicting the tilak in at least one of my paintings. It was made possible with your support.⁠ Thank you.

Difference between Pakhand and not Pakhand

Reading Quran, Reading Puran - Pakhand
Reading Guru Granth Sahib - not Pakhand

Visiting Mecca, visiting Haridwar - Pakhand
Visiting Harimandir Sahib - not Pakhand

Wearing cap, wearing janeu, wearing dhoti - Pakhand
Wearing turban, wearing kada, wearing kachhera - not Pakhand

Worshipping in Temple, praying in mosque - Pakhand
Going to Gurudwara - not Pakhand

Bowing to Idol, bowing towards East or towards Kabba - Pakhand
Bowing to Guru Granth Sahib - not Pakhand

Clothing, feeding, putting to sleep an Idol - Pakhand
Clothing, feeding, putting to sleep Guru Granth Sahib - not Pakhand

I hope you see that none of this is Pakhand / not Pakhand.

Pakhand means that - inside, you are one way and outside, you show others and present yourself in another way.

In many areas, we need to do this, with private things. For example going to the bathroom. Some things need to be done privately and not shown to others, that is also Pakhand. It is different from the Pakhand that Guru ji talks about.

When Guru ji is talking about Pakhand, Guru ji is talking about performing religious ceremonies, while not developing or having any love for Truth within.

People who have no intention to move forward to the Truth, whether they go to Haridwar, Ayodhya, Mecca or Harimandir Sahib, they all drown.

Those who have love for the Truth, like Sant Nam Dev ji, even if they worship idols, they will find the Truth.

This is why Guru Arjun Dev ji specifically included the idol worship performed by Sant Nam Dev ji in Guru Granth Sahib (can be found on 1163) and even talks about it in his shabads (on 487).

Guru Arjun Dev ji ki bani -
ਨਿਮਤ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਦੂਧੁ ਪੀਆਇਆ ॥ ਤਉ ਜਗ ਜਨਮ ਸੰਕਟ ਨਹੀ ਆਇਆ ॥੨॥
The Lord drank the milk that Nam Dev ji offered to His idol, and due to his devotion, he did not have to face Janam Sankat (includes things like being controlled by negative emotions, compulsive desires, purposelessness, existential dread and meaningless suffering).

It is an example on how to worship - Performing the religious ceremony while having profound love for the Truth within.

It is very different from how we are doing things today, in our daily lives.

रविदास जी महाराज के चरणों में नमन

वेद धर्म प्रचारक रविदास जी महाराज ने समाज में विस्तृत अज्ञानता का अंत एक दूसरे के प्रति द्वेष का वितरण कर के या किसी एक वर्ग की ठेकेदारी कर के नहीं अपितु सम्पूर्ण मानव समाज का कल्याण आत्मज्ञान के प्रकाश द्वारा किया

There is NO verse in Guru Granth Sahib which calls Vedas false.

Rather Guru Granth Sahib mentions “All four Vedas became true”:

ਚਾਰੇ ਵੇਦ ਹੋਏ ਸਚਿਆਰ ॥
Chaare Veda Hoye Sachiaar!
Each of four Vedas became true.

In another Instance, it mentions:
ਬੇਦ ਕਤੇਬ ਕਹਹੁ ਮਤ ਝੂਠੇ ਝੂਠਾ ਜੋ ਨ ਬਿਚਾਰੈ ॥
Veda Kateb Kaahu Mat Jhoote Jhoota Jo Na Vichaare !!
Do not say that the Vedas and Kateb (scriptures or book) are false. False are those who do not contemplate on them

One more instance:
ਬੇਦ ਪਾਠ ਮਤਿ ਪਾਪਾ ਖਾਇ ॥
Veda Paath Mati Paap Khai!!
Studying the Vedas, sinful intellect is destroyed.

Another verse:
ਵਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਨਾਦ ਵਿਸਮਾਦੁ ਵੇਦ ॥
Visamaad Naad Visamaad Veda!!
Wonderful is the sound current of the Naad (Divine Sound), Wonderful is the knowledge of the Vedas.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਦੰ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵੇਦੰ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਸਮਾਈ ॥
Gurmukh Naadam Gurmukh Vedam Gurmukh Rahia Samai!!
The Guru's Word is the Sound-current of the Naad; the Guru's Word is the Wisdom of the Vedas; the Guru's Word is all-pervading.
And these Vedas are created by God.

ਓਅੰਕਾਰਿ ਬੇਦ ਨਿਰਮਏ ॥
Onkaar Ved Nirmaaye!!
Onkaar created the Vedas.
And those who cannot understand the message of Vedas are called deaf:

ਬੇਦ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਜਨ ਪੁਕਾਰਹਿ ਸੁਨੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਡੋਰਾ ॥
Veda Shastra Jan Pukaare Sune Naahi Dora!!
The Vedas, the Shaastras and the holy men proclaim it, but the deaf do not hear it.

NOW HOW DO ILL INFORMED MISINTERPRET IT:
There are verses in Guru Granth Sahib which condemn the people who ONLY read the Vedas, but do NOT understand, contemplate and learn from it.

For example:
ਵਾਚੈ ਵਾਦੁ ਨ ਬੇਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੈ ॥
You study the arguments, but do not contemplate the Vedas.
But Hold on, Vedas themselves condemn such hypocrites. Rigveda 1.164.39 very clearly announces –

“What can the Richas of Vedas do for a person who does not possess intellect”.
IF ANY PERSON MISINTERPRETS GURU GRANTH SAHIB, SHOW HIM ABOVE MENTIONED VERSES PLUS SHOW HIM THAT HINDU TEXTS THEMSELVES SAY “ONLY READING” VEDAS IS NOT SUFFICE

Another misinterpretation is regarding Three gunas (Trigunas). This is already mentioned in Hindu text Gita:

ਬੇਦ ਬਾਣੀ ਜਗੁ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਕਰੇ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
The world is involved with the words of the Vedas, thinking about the three gunas - the three dispositions.

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਬਾਣੀ ਬੇਦ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
The mortal thinks about the Vedic teachings of the three gunas, the three dispositions
The same thing is written in Chapter 14 of Bhagavad Gita:

Vedas discuss the Karmas and deeds that are within the realm of the three Gunas (viz; Sattvik [Good], Tamasik [bad], and Rajasik [neutral]), but you need to be free of these three Gunas, Arjun!
Free yourself of all dualities (dwandva), and dwell only in the Eternal (nitya). Even be free of Yog (achieving the unachievable) and Kshem (Securing what has been achieved).
