Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the final and perpetual guru of the Sikhs. It contains the teachings of Sikh Gurus as well as the teachings of Saints and Devotees (Bhagats) from medieval period.Bhagat Kabir Ji's teachings are also part of Guru Granth Sahib.Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not seen as a combination of teachings of Sikh Gurus and Saints but Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a Guru in its own respect and hold its own authority.

Whatever Guru Granth Sahib Ji teaches irrespective of which Guru or Saints said it, is seen as the teaching of Guru Granth Sahib itself. Thank You.
