[QUOTE="InduBhushanDas, post: 215355, member: 21988"] Let me explain my view on conscious creator. I am vaishnava (devotee of Krishna), so naturally we accept that "Krishnas tu Bhagavan swayam" - "It is Krishna, but not others, is Supreme Personality of Godhead, creator ". Krishna is primary crator, while there are others. In sikhism you also use words like Bhagavan, Parabrahman, Paramatma (also in this thread). We believe that long time ago, millions of lifetimes ago we descended (fell down) from Vaikuntha (spiritul world, spiritual eternal planets where Krishna-Narayana lives) - into this samsara, world of reincarnation. The first life in material world is on level of Lord Brahma. It looks like not every Brahma is devotee of Krishna/Vishnu, but in our universe Brahma is a devotee. Brahma is secondary creator. You say "lord created in his image" - true, Krishna created us to become Lords Brahmas. so, Krishna expands as Balarama/Baladeva, from last expands chaturvyuha - Sankarshana, Pradyuman, Aniruddha and Vasudeva. Fromvyuha expands Narayana. Narayana is the Paramatma or Supersoul of all spiritual world, Vaikuntha. then from Narayan expands second chaturvyuha (four Lords). thn from vyuha expands Maha-Vishnu. Maha-vishnu is a supersoul of all brahmandas which are material universes. From Mahavishnu when he breathes out expand millions of brahmandas, and into each He enters as Garbhodakashayi-Vishnu. THat Vishnu lies on Garbhodaka ocean, and from navel of Vishnu grows huge lotus (in Bible that is said on 3rd day plants are created - lotuses from Vishnus). In each lotus there are "seeds of planets/stars", so Brahma, after being born on lotus, takes those seeds, and on 4th day of creation (of Bible), he creates planets, stars, moon etc. Thus Brahma is 2ndary creator. yes, he is in golden egg (brahma-anda- egg of Brahma). Ek omkan is different. that seems to mean nirgun and sagun Brahman. God is realized in 3 steps: Brahman, then higher level is paramatma, and highest is Bhagavan ... Omkar is more or less impersonal idea, but still Om is God as person (trimurti - VIshnu, Brahma plus Shiva). it doesn't ever mean that God was at first impersonal and then becomes a person. never. God is always a person. The two features of god are person and impersonal rays. if we call God Brahman or Parabrahman, we mean person - Vishnu, Krishna, Narayana, etc (any avatar of Vishnu). but impersonal god means just rays of Brahman - brahma(n)jyoti (jyoti means rays). those who think god is impersonal, they realize only impersonal brahmajyoti rays. they don't know about Goloka -eternal planet of Krishna or about Vaikuntha of Narayana. but those who realize Paramatma -they realize Vishnu or Narayana, and can reach Vaikuntha. those who realize Bhagavan Krishna - reach Him, highest planet of Vaikuntha - Goloka Vrindavana. in sikhism there is aplace for people of all three levels - those who realize Brahman only, and for Paramatma-realized, and for Bhagavan realized (personalists). realization of Brahman is for jnanis (philosophers, speculators).realization of Paramatma is for yogis. Paramatma is supreme soul in heart/soul of everyone. and Bhagavan is for bhakti-yogis - devotees of Lord Krishna/Vishnu see story of Brahma creating universe in Shrimad-bhagavatam: vanisource.org/wiki/SB_3.8:_Manifestation_of_Brahma_from_Garbhodakasayi_Visnu vanisource.org/wiki/SB_3.9:_Brahma%27s_Prayers_for_Creative_Energy vanisource.org/wiki/SB_3.10:_Divisions_of_the_Creation [/QUOTE]
