I agree with @teraBanda. Loved your land/borders/birds metaphor.

There are avatars born all the time. Each has different work to do. An avatar is a human being who is free from karmas but chooses to incarnate again to serve humanity in physical form. Each avatar takes on a "mission" to accomplish during such an incarnation. This shabad only calls out some of these avatars, not all of them. Guruji is reflecting on the missions of these avatars and reminding us that the Guru, which exists within all of us, reigns supreme in every age. When our Guru Sahibian wrote their verse, knowledge of the vedas through oral tradition was assumed. Knowledge of Jesus and Muhhammad in the general population was not assumed. Gurbani refers to the base of knowledge that was already established in India at the time. That does not make "Sikhism" modern-day Hinduism. In fact, Sikhi is not a religion at all. It is Dharma, technology, a way of living in one's own grace and purity in the world. All religions start as Dharma, but over time they mostly descend into ritual as people lose the daily experience of the technology and the elevation that comes from living in the flow/hukam of the One.

Dharma is the support of the earth. Born of compassion and kindness. It patiently holds the thread of creation together. Understand this and become a person of Truth. What a great load the Dharma sustains! (Japji Sahib, Pauri 16)

More like Sikhism is ancient Hinduism and much more. Acutal Hinduism died when Brahmins manipulated the religion and made people believe that Statues are God, they went to such extent that Brahmins didn't even teach Sanskrit(language of Vedas and other Ancient books) to any non Brahmin, this led to corruption of the religion and the rise of modern "fake" babas.

The Actual Hinduism has this Gyatri Mantra ( same like our Mool Mantra)

Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

which means We meditate on that most adored Supreme Lord, the creator, whose effulgence (divine light) illumines all realms (physical, mental and spiritual). May this divine light illumine our intellect.

So Ancient Hindu's meditated on true God unlike modern Hindu's who worship statues and avatars like Krishan, Shiv, etc.

Seeing this corruption and taking the best of both worlds from Hinduism, Islam & Buddhism Guru Nanak created a new religion that was true to the old and true values.

Note: Religions are created because of above reason but God is one and treats every true religion equally. Consider religion like nation borders, they are superficial and man made but the land is still land for birds as they don't know borders.
