Brother Guest Sat Jee,
The Gurus were not only practitioners of Truth, rather, embodiment of that Supreme Primal Truth,this means also they are bhandars of pooran gyan.
Secondly, they were Successors, not by any elections held, nor favors by, or from, anyone, but by His Hukum.
Once Fifth Patshahee as a child, was playing with something, and it happened to roll and stop under the bed of Third Patshahee, who was sleeping on it at that moment.
As Sree Arjun Dev Jee went under that bed to get it, he happened to move the bed of Sree Guru Amar Das, so Guru Jee got awake, and asked who was there under the bed?
Guru Arjun Dev´s mother was entering at that moment the room, and she told her Father Amar Das, that it was Arjun Dev Jee, His grandson.
At that remark, Guru Amar Das said, that He, Arjun Dev Jee would be a Boitha, a ship, who would ferry across the jeevas/atmas, from this mayavee creation to the realm of Supreme Truth, Sach Khand.
So you see, it is marked since birth, who will be a Guru, other thing is, that they may keep it secret until the right time comes.
Otherwise, who knows, what atrocities and wickedness can the foolish manmukhs do.... to harm these sweet and humble Guru Sahibans....
But in any case, we are nobody to analyze these things, it is all under Hukum, which is far above our petty minds.
Then, no woman or man does practice Truth. As the practice of that Truth/Bhakti, is first done by the higher mind, then by the jeev atma, when released from the clutches of the mind.
And as we all know, man or woman are so, only at physical levels.
For doing Bhakti, one has to leave behind the body, which is just a covering with all the physical attributes / organs, such as mouth, eyes, hands, legs, sexual organs, etc ....
That is why, Guru Jee says: akhaah bajoh vekhna, bin kanna sunnah, pairaa bajoh chalna bin hathaa karnaa...
So if during real bhakti we leave back not only our genders, but the whole of our bodies...then, who is a woman, who is a man there, in the pure spiritual realms?
Brother, there we are all gursikhs/students only, without any distinctions such as of race, color, social status, genders,dharam, nationality ....
The thing is, we are so used to see everything under the perceptions of our limits in this physical, that we think likewise, for that also, which we do not know, thus imagine it, in terms of those our very limitations ....
Sat Sree Akal.
