In one brilliant stroke, Guru Gobind Singh had done away with the possiblity of any future fundamental split in the Khalsa.....He must have realised that there's a possiblity that Sikh versions of Munnafeqin and pretenders may use the Guru title for personal power plays and the faith being at dire risk due to such dynamics. Pretty much like Muhammed declaring himself the last prophet....essential difference being Muhammed talked about a Caliph to head the Ummah but didn't specify a rule for settling the Caliph issue. See how the first followers of Muhammed killed each other like some Greek tragedy over this?! Guru Gobind Singh however didn't bequeath the faith to some "leader".....serendipity or far sightedness, who knows? <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
