Well Kaljugi , Have you tried to see it this way :
Guru Sahib is alive , not just a book .. Atleast , a Sikh has this view of GGS .
So , if we are in trouble , our Guru shares our troubles on his saroop .. When sikhs died in delhi in 1984 , GGS must have said "My sikhs are getting sacrificed , why shouldn't I ?" .... I guess same situation applies this thrown in well case !
