Living in Consonance with Creation

There are things to remember when we view creation and hence the creator (known as God, waheguru, kartar purakh, etc.).

Now as human beings we get myopic in how we see. A phrase that I paraphrase below comes to mind,


Question becomes: What is the eye that will create a vision of the creation as a truth without limits. Hence conversely the discovery and revelation of the creator.

Gurbani says there is no such eye and don't look for one or pretend you have one. Creation is limitless, timeless, infinite and continuous. Don’t need to go far, see first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, often known as “Mool Mantar”. So with every passing moment, if you are developing a better and correct understanding of creation (hence the creator), you are doing well and should be proud.

Does creation have timelines linked to our human lifespans in days, nights, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries. The answer is absolutely not. Creation’s timelines are not so limited but in a way are infinite. So is it even a realistic or achievable goal to so called find God, understand all creation (hence the creator), or merge with so called “Jyot”, or be one with “waheguru”, etc.? Unfortunately the answer is that it is not a realistic goal. This kind of objective can only be set by those who don’t even pay attention and respect to the first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Namely,

In a related aspect of timelines, the miseries, the misfortunes, the bad things (per anyone’s view or classification), why do these happen? Can’t creator create a perfect world here and now? Creation can be viewed as a continuous sculpture that has no relation to timelines of years or centuries as humans know these. Creations is mixing things up, creation is testing new directions, creation is testing new transformations, so such variations are nothing for infinite creation but may appear huge for you and me. These situations and the feelings and such that these create actually is a tool for creation to subdivide tasks in fulfilling its ultimate visions of infinity. So elements of creation will evolve in the transformations. Such as not fitting at any point towards the transformations of creation will transform, be part of another creation in ways the creator wants, and this will continue in the hands of the timeless and the infinite for times unknown.

So should we just give up, feel dejected, feel hopeless and helpless!

The answer is no. Importance is in understanding our part, position amongst all creation around us. Try to understand as much of creation as you can, behold creation, love creation in a way be thankful to be human. Live in a way that you believe creation expected you to for the species or form that you are in. Don’t sweat the small stuff, creation is not keeping a report card. Read and understand the mool mantar again. You violate the possible rules or synergy of creation’s eye, it will become ruthlessly clear to you in your life time or other’s life times that associate or are linked to you physically or any other ways. Creation does not bother most of the time but when it does it is abundantly obvious. In human view of continuity, few births, few deaths, few diseased people, few good people or few bad people are not even an issue with creation. The one creator’s creation has the ability to address or deal with such through transformations over time.

Think big, understand big, act in consonance with all creation around, you would be considered a positive player in creation’s eye and be a contributor towards and party to creation’s long term plans.

Sat Sri Akal.

Sat Sri Akal.

You are welcome. However, it was Aman Singh ji who did that. He will frequently search and add extraordinary images for news stories and commentaries every day.

I love this topic

I long to have the same Consonance with Creation, our dear Mother, that Saint Hildegard had:


"...God's soul is the wind rustling plants and leaves,
the dew dancing on the grass,
the rainy breezes making everything to grow.
Just like this, the kindness of a person flows,
touching those dragging burdens of longing.
We should be a breeze helping the homeless,
dew comforting those who are depressed,
the cool, misty air refreshing the exhausted,
and with God's teaching we have got to feed the hungry.
This is how we share God's soul

...

I asked: "How can we know a Lord we have never seen?"
The Cosmic Man (the Word of God) said to me:
Don't you see me, day and night?
Don't you see me when you plant crops,
and when your seeds are nurtured with rainwater?
All of Creation has an affinity for its Creator
and knows the One Person who made it.
As the Creator loves his creation,

so Creation loves the Creator.

...

The soul is kissed by God in its innermost regions,
With interior yearning, grace and blessing are bestowed.
It is a yearning to take on God's gentle yoke,
It is a yearning to give one's self to God's way.
The entire world has been embraced by this kiss

The Holy Spirit is a Burning Spirit,
Who kindles the hearts of humankind,
playing them like tympanum and lyre,
gathering volume in the temple of the soul

...

O Holy Spirit,
you are the mighty way in which everything,
that is in the heavens, on the earth and under the earth
is penetrated with connectedness,
penetrated with relatedness

...

When you see aridity, make it green,
There is a power in eternity,
and it is green.
The Earth is mother,
of all that is natural,
of all that is human

...

I compare the great love of Creator and Creation
to the same love and fidelity with which God binds
man and woman together.
This is so that together, they might be,
creatively fruitful..."
