Gurbani/Gurmat is the Metapath, the rest are just flavours of the same direction, but not the same endpoint, as the different gurus/pirs/pagambars can only lead as far as they have attained that particular consciouss level .
While with the teachings in Gurbani as per Nam bhakti, one reaches the highest and ultimate goal of Waheguru Akal Purkh.

Nice words written on a balloon which was flying high up in the sky :

It is Not What's Outside,

This means, what you wear, or where you go, or the country or community you belong to....that will not take you to His abode... because that has nothing to do with Him...

But What's Inside,That takes U To The TOP...!!!

But how much pure you are, with His divine attiributes....how much you are filled with His Nam....it is that, what is going to take you up up up....up to Him.

SATGUR HOYE DAYAL TA SACH SAMAEEYEH

WHEN SATGUR SACHAY PATSHAH IS MERCIFUL, THEN ONE MERGES IN THAT ULTIMATE, ETERNAL, AND CHANGELESS TRUTH OF SATNAM.

SSA.

Day by day

O, Dear Lord,
Three things I pray –
To see thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day.

“When I am with You, everything is prayer.”

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that light becomes this art.”

“Love isn’t the work of the tender and the gentle;
Love is the work of wrestlers.
The one who becomes a servant of lovers
is really a fortunate sovereign.
Don’t ask anyone about Love; ask Love about Love.
Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.”

RUMI.

“Don’t search for heaven and hell in the future. Both are now present. Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven. Whenever we fight, hate, we are in hell.”
― Shams Tabrizi

“The real dirt is not outside,
but inside, in our hearts.
We can wash all stains with water.
The only one we can’t remove is the grudge and the bad intentions sticking to our hearts.”
― Shams Tabrizi

ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਸਗਲ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਪਾਏ ॥

Abinaasee Paaeiaa Naam Dhhiaaeiaa Sagal Manorathh Paaeae ||

The Imperishable Lord is obtained by meditating on the Naam, and then  all one's wishes are fulfilled.

ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭ ਝੂਠੁ ॥

Har Kae Naam Binaa                 

Sabh Jhooth ||

Without the Name of the Lord, everything is false.

Raag Bhaira-o Guru Arjan Dev

ਨਾਨਕ ਉਧਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਪੁਨਹਚਾਰ ॥

Naanak Oudhharae Naam Punehachaar ||

Nanak is saved through the atonement of the Naam.

ਅਵਰਿ ਕਰਮ ਲੋਕਹ ਪਤੀਆਰ ॥੪॥੧੨॥੨੫॥

Avar Karam Lokeh Patheeaar ||4||12||25||

All other actions, are just to please and appease the people. ||4||12||25||

Raag Bhaira-o Guru Arjan Dev

DHAN SO VELA JIT DARSHAN KARNA

HAU BALHAREE SATGUR CHARNA.

ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਰਾਮੁ ਸਮਾਰਹੁ ॥

Antharajaamee Raam Samaarahu ||

Remember the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

ਜੀਵਤ ਪਾਵਹੁ ਮੋਖ ਦੁਆਰ ॥

Jeevath Paavahu Mokh Dhuaar ||

You shall attain the Gate of Liberation while yet alive.

Gauri Thiteen Bhagat Kabir

Found the above couple of beautiful verses as ever from Guru Jee, where we are assured, that if we correctly devote ourselves to Him by meditating upon HIM, we do not have to wait  for liberation after death, rather get the so desired liberation RIGHT NOW while being alive.

Isn´t this beautiful guys?

SSA

Darshan dekh jeeva Gur tera

Pooran karam hovay Prabh mera.

Eh benanti sunh Prabh merey

Deh Nam kar apnay cherey

Apni sharan raakh prabh daate
Gurparsaad kinnae virle jaate

Sunho binou prabh mere meeta
Charan kamal vasae mere cheeta

Nanak ek karae ardaas
Bisar naahi pooran guntaas

ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਮੈਲਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਪਤਿ ਖੋਈ ॥੨॥

Naam Binaa Sabh Jag Hai Mailaa Dhoojai Bharam Path Khoee ||2||

Without the Name, the whole world is polluted; wandering in duality, it loses its honor. ||2||

Everyone is a beggar; God is the Great Giver.

The Treasure of Virtue is the Infinite, Endless Lord.

That person, unto whom God grants His Mercy

- that humble being chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਹੋਇ ਜਾਸੀ ਧੂਰ ॥੨॥

Naam Binaa Hoe Jaasee Dhhoor ||2||

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, everything is reduced to dust. ||2||

therefore

ਸੰਗਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਰੇ ਸਗਲ ਪਸਾਰੀ ॥

Sang Naahee Rae Sagal Pasaaree ||

Of all this expanse, nothing shall go along with you.

Changes do not happen when circumstances improve....
Changes happen when "You" decide to improve your circumstances!

The Plus sign is made with two Minus signs.
It simply means that
All negative things can be shaped as positive
With our positive attitude, and hard work.

Have a nice day.

ਗੋਬਿਦੁ ਗਾਜੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਬਾਜੈ ॥

Gobidh Gajai Sabadh Bajai ||

The Lord of the Universe appears when the Word of His Shabad is chanted.
