Sangat Ji, I have a question about steeks. What are steeks? What do they mean and just in general are they in bani? Can we take them for the word for Guru Ji?

Vaheguru Ji.

So this is not bani then, is it Ji? It's just arths of others on bani, right?

Yeah. They are extremely important works for moorakhs like me. If you go to http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1, you will have the option to read the Faridkot teeka along with the Bani.

If you want to become a Kathakaar These are the arths you have to learn.

You should always treat them with a high level of satkaar.

They are like a dictionary for gurbani basically.

That's an incorrect description. Gurbani dictionaries are different. Steeks and Teekas are an analysis of Gurbani. In-depth academic works.
