Rajeshm and Sinner jios!
Guess what? Your BOTH right - and your BOTH wrong!
God is anything God wants to be!
When you figure that out, and develope the wisdom to be trusted to be that way to, THEN (as my favorite childhhod TV character would say - other than the Monty Python Crew; who I DO understand, BTW), "You will have LEARNED, Grasshopper."

Mai ji
I love you, and the Sikhi, but your TOO PROUD - and that's because of your personal history; as it is a common trait of all persecuted peoples to cling to their Pride of Person and Pride of Belief with great determination. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=36736
However, when one returns to the 'post-persecution real world' (like, Canada), one should seek to recognize this fact, and address it.
I know you have Real Concerns regarding what Arundhati Roy calls, "The rising tide of Hindu Fascism....," (both political and cultural) and that the people behind it have PROVEN themselves to be a Real Threat to the Sikh Community......but I could not say that your own reactions are anything other than a MIRROR of theirs!!! Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=36736
I CAN SAY that God would be happy BOTH sides 'came down off their high horses', and tried to get along once again.
Personally, I'd like to see all parties become Ba'hai - to unite, rather than merge; but that would require ALL OF YOU to surrender your EGOS, now - wouldn't it?
I wonder what the Gurbani has to say about that?!?
I'm sure you're about to TELL ME!

Sinner ji
I'm sorry (I guess) that my being Honest about my personal experiences with God come across as 'egotistical'.
I ask you, however, to give me the Benefit of the Doubt, and then - putting yourself in MY shoes - WOULD YOU DENY GOD, OR THE 'GIFT' THAT GOD IMPARTED UPON YOU, JUST BECAUSE SOME "SINNER" THINKS YOUR BEING EGOTISTICAL?
Again, placing yourself in MY shoes: Unless you'd have me be Fool enough to IGNORE the fact that I REALLY DID have a white streak 'appear, as if by "magic"' in my hair, after 'communing' with God - well....I didn't think so!

I came here to share......take it, or leave it; just remember what I just said - or I'll be the one in trouble for having "denied God". | | The following member appreciates JimRinX Ji for the above message. | |

Jimi Ji If you have no ego that is great, I think because I have so much ,that everyone else might! anyway it is my way to take the opposite position, but you won't be in trouble,you have not denied him brother. In our religion we just take white streaks to be the reminders of our mortality.I love you Jimi ,I'm not any sinner I'm your sinner! |

The creator has personality made up of the following
~ 6.99 Billion unique human beings on Earth at last count
(http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/)
~ 8.4 million species of life on earth and you can take humans out and that would leave approximately. 8,399,999 species of life on earth
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=36736
~ Number of personality generating locations and entities beyond earth is "unknown"
Note: Number of individual personalities within each species is unknown also Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=36736 So final count and Bottomline: I put all these into a supercomputer and I get a very very large unknown number for Earth alone. So then you look at the Cosmos/creation, I get more befuddled.
So brothers and sisters, God/creator has a personality but we are too stupid and limited to understand and we might as well call it as having no personali ty. I checked there were approximately 26 unique personalities ( some have one personality, some have no personality and some have multiple personalities  ) in this thread so far. So let us call it a day and say, 26 unique personalities. So these 26 people are fighting/aggressively posting over the total count of personalities in creation to constitute a creator's personality. Chances of doing so are pretty much zero as predicted in the first line of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji as infinity is associated with the creator. So for Sikh brother and sisters, you have not really understood well the first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji peacesign. For others, go to your belief/science/no-belief system and do some math and come back.
Sat Sri Akal.
