The Sikh tradition believes the Word as contained in the scripture as the spirit-incarnate of the Gurus; unlike Christianity wherein Word becomes incarnate in Jesus Christ and thus the latter becomes the central focus for the followers, in the Sikh tradition the Gurus are believed to have become incarnate in the Word. That is why Word is the central focus in the Sikh tradition. It is an article of faith and an object of deep reverence for the Sikhs: this reverence must not be confused with worship because the Sikhs do not treat the scripture as an idol to be worshipped at an altar.
The Sikhs are deeply attached to the Guru: in fact, the existence of a Sikh (lit. disciple) implies the presence of Guru (lit. teacher who removes the darkness of ignorance).
