[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 182346, member: 14194"] Tejwant Singh ji if I may attempt to contribute. I believe the issue is interpreting what consonant living in creation is. For example the following threads were started with this in mind, <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:UseFELayout/> </w:Compatibility> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> [CENTER][CENTER][B]Living in Consonance with Creation[/B][/CENTER] [/CENTER] [CENTER][CENTER][URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/36037-living-in-consonance-with-creation.html[/URL] [/CENTER] [/CENTER] [CENTER][CENTER][B]One Infinite Creator in Sikhism, What Does it Mean?[/B] [URL]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikh-sikhi-sikhism/38210-one-infinite-creator-sikhism-what-does.html[/URL][/CENTER] [/CENTER] <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <center> [LEFT]I believe lot of the circular loops in this thread arise as we try to make the creator look like ourselves. We are taking liberties in using concepts of consciousness as though it is a fundamental truth in creation versus the fundamental truths espoused about the creator and creation in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. There is nothing wrong in inquisitions as in this thread and may be the creator is conscious, sub-conscious, intuitive, etc., and all of that. The only difficulty or pitfall is that if it is used as a search for the master key, or the ultimate door (say Dasm dwar/tenth gate) and traded off against consonant living that much is lost. It leads to massive mis-direction and we become vulnerable to exploitation by Dehras, swamis, pandits, magic makers, yogis, etc. An anti-thesis of what Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji enables us with or teaches us! By the way all of the following are explainable in reference to concept of consonance with creation and hence living per the creator who creates, [LIST] [*]Suffering [*]Hurricanes [*]Tsunamis destruction [*]Sickness [*]Consciousness with others and the creator [*]Love [*]Disparities [*]Disease [*]Why innocents may suffer and the probable guilty go Scott free? [*]etc. [/LIST] All of the above are contextual within consonant living per the creator's creation. [/LEFT] [LEFT]Without trying to hijack this thread I believe we need to redefine and refocus what is it that we are trying to prove or show through "conscious relationships" with the creator versus everything else? Just some humble thoughts if these help. Sat Sri Akal. [B]PS: [/B]Tejwant Singh ji's questions, my attempt at answering, [LIST=1] [*]Is there an unconscious creator somewhere in a coma? [LIST] [*][COLOR=Blue][I]State of creator is undefined in human terms other than being timeless, etc., as eluded to for example in mool mantar[/I][/COLOR] [/LIST] [*]Conscious is a word used for the animal world including ourselves.
