| |  | | | What do you visualize when you think of Ik▫oaʼnkār ੴ
As we get more understanding of the creator in life, we start to visualize certain imagery representing our understanding. It may be as simple as just a void, a Universe of waves and matter in a blob, some Guru jis visualization based on imagery from paintings, or some other things unique to each one of us. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/37766-what-do-you-visualize-when-you.html
For example when I visualize Ik▫oaʼnkār ੴ I see the following when I close my eyes: An ever changing mass of matter that embeds parts of other things and life in us and vice versa. When I touch I impart a part of me in what I touch and the object does the reverse. So we are like an entity in continuous exchange from far and wide as well as close and near. Like in 2 below  Do you experience some thing like that or perhaps one of the following, - A saintly figure
- Universe of gases, lights and shapes so slowly transforming
- Darkness with light rays
- Nothing at all
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37766
In my visualization it is all “One Continuum” or “One”.
It will be interesting to exchange thoughts, comments and ideas.

Ambarsaria ji,
Guru Fateh. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37766
Why is the visualsation important or a must? Ik Ong Kaar is omnipresent? One can enjoy the awe and the wow factors that we are surrounded by. The Truth as in the first pauri of Jap needs no visualisation. Only make believe imaginary things need that. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37766

Tejwant Singh | Veer Tejwant Singh ji I am not suggesting it is important. Just what comes to mind. Question is not necessarily seeking it either. May be just hallucination in a way. So perhaps not a good thing.
I assume your answer is "Nothing at All".
I simply shared my thoughts.
Sat Sri Akal.

Ambarsaria ji, I am also a very visual person but I don't see any images.
But I know many Sikhs that see Guru Nanak or one of the Gurus as an image for IkOankar so you are not alone when it comes to seeing images. |
