Subject: Re: Sabh Sikhan Ko Hukam Hai, Guru Maniyo Granth
when in any kind of doubt, A Sikh always search the answer in Guru Granth  Sahib Ji. When one read Gurbani it is very clear that there is Sabd Guru and all followers of Sabd Guru are SIKHS.
A) The word SIKH appears in Gurbani 77 times and verses by Guru Nanak Sahib M1, M3, M3,M4,M5,M9, Bhat Sahibs, & Kabir Ji, Namdev Ji all contributed verses in Sikh. Verses by M1 can be read on page-line number at 2-12;3-10;154-19; 155-1;350-13412-8;468-11;567-10795-12;1013-5;1013-8;1032-1;1256-3 and on page763-8 M1 state
Jo Gur deesai Sikhrra Tisu Niv Niv Lagau paaie Jeeo.
 ( ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਦੀਸੈ ਸਿਖੜਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਨਿਵਿ ਨਿਵਿ ਲਾਗਉ ਪਾਇ ਜੀਉ ॥)  
Sikh in these 77 verses \has two meaning one as noun masculine -A follower of Sikh religion. Sikh as verve form imperative is to learn, acquire knowledge or skill, receive instruction or training.
B) The word SIKHU (ਸਿਖੁ) with aunkarrh to khakha appears 22 times. this word is not found in any non-Gurmukhi dictionaries.
 Guru Nanak Sahib on page 940-13 says
" Nanak  Dujee Kaar Na Karnnee  Seve Sikhu Jo Khoij Lahai..."
 (ਨਾਨਕ ਦੂਜੀ ਕਾਰ ਨ ਕਰਣੀ ਸੇਵੈ ਸਿਖ ਸੁ ਖੋਜਿ ਲਹੈ ॥ )
the Sikh who serve the guru and do not serve any other , finds the way to stay away from Doubts of all kinds, O'Nanak.
Again on page 1328-18 Guru Nanak Sahib repeats
" Gur Updeis Jwaher Mannak Seve sikhu SO Khoij Lahai.-
 ((ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸਿ ਜਵਾਹਰ ਮਾਣਕ ਸੇਵੇ ਸਿਖੁ ਸੋੁ ਖੋਜਿ ਲਹੈ॥1॥ )  
 " Guru's instructions are the gems 1\o651and Jewels the follower who seek and search Gurbani obtains them.

 So Guru So Sikhu Kathealai So Vaid Jeh Jaannai Rogi  -
 (ਸੋ ਗੁਰੂ ਸੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਕਥੀਅਲੇ ਸੋ ਵੈਦੁ ਜਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਰੋਗੀ ॥)              
 He alone can be called a physician who knows a patients malady; and he alone is said to be guru and he alone is his follower who know the human maladies"

(ਸੋ ਸਿਖੁ ਸਖਾ ਬੰਧਪੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਜਿ ਗੁਰ ਕੇ ਭਾਣੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਵੈ॥)  
 one living in the will of Guru is only a Sikh and a friend. Further M3 on page 492-1; 919-18;919-18; 920-1 are more verses by Guru Amardas Sahib Ji. Guru Ramdas Sahib ji Page 305-16 say ,
" Gur Saitgur Ka Jo Sikh Aakhai Su Bhalkai Uith Har Namu Dhivai.

 Guru Sikhu Sikhu Guru Hai   Eaiko Gur Updesu chlai .
( ਗੁਰ ਸਿਖੁ ਸਿਖੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਏਕੋ ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਚਲਾਏ ॥ )
Further M4 on page 307-17; 757-19; 758-1 and 1263-3 verses explains the relationship of Guru and Sikhu. Mahala 5 page 286-15 7 16 in Sukhmani Banee, page 400-8 and 960-12 explain the Guru Sikh relations.
They used to have gurus in Hindu religion who would have their followers with head hairs removed to the skull except with a Bodee (A tuft of hair left unshorn on top of head as a religious symbol of caste Hindus).

By going through many verses in Guru Granth Sahib Ji it is very Clear that one Who believe and abide by Gurbani Instructions to lead one's daily life is a SIKH. To be a true Sikh one also obey Guru's commands given to Sikhs during the life times of Guru Sahibs and try to imitate the way our Guru Sahib and their Sikhs followed the life style recorded in authenticated Sikh History.
