Dear all ,


very well explained by Balbir ji and MAX

Totally agree , but like to add something here ,

About the theory of craetion in Sikhism It has been repeated many times infact in both Morning and evening prayer about the origin

Origin of world is such small little work for great creator that just the thing compared to tought by creater resulted in whole Universe and in the similar fashion it can also finish and vanish .




Yes one entity cant be called god
But still there sometime arise confusion in people about the fact and they call guru , GOD

Also sometime even if it is not called so , still some people thnks that SIKH are calling THeir Guru eauivalent to GOD

WHY CONFUSION?



In sikh philosophy god is considered to premeated in all the creation ,( LIVING ,NON LIVING ,VISIBLE , Not VISIBLE )

Even Rocks have the same God as Human in them their is nothing we can even imagine that is deviod of god as our imagination itself has origin in god

so in brief ONLY GOD IS

as mentioned by Balbir Singh Ji

Now about Guru and GOD

As everything has god so what is the diffrence , as I can understand that the difference is the level of conciousness .

The level of Counciousness of non living thing like rock is minimal
The level of consiouness increases as the life take the complex shapes and figures in form of plants and animal .
It reach quite high in case of humans and so there is chance with human to become fully councious of all that is GOD
And at the peak of human consciousness arises as state where human becomes fully councious of all that is god and their is no wall / barrier/mystery ( BAHYD) that remains
between him and god

At this stage he DOESNOT BECOME GOD BUT INSTEAD BECOMES PART OF GOD IN TOTAL COUNSIOUSNESS ( although every body is part of god but is not councious about it )
