[QUOTE="Ajuni, post: 181665, member: 16143"] [b]Angel of Death[/b] Sat Sri Akal Bhen Ji aur Bhai Ji, I have a a question in regards to the "Angel of Death," can someone please elaborate more on what the significance of this character or idea is in gurbani. To my own understanding I believe it is almost as a Angel of Judgement, but can this Angel of Death also be a sikhi or is it one who is against sikhi? Is this being for sikhi and holds the righteousness of sikhi dear to them though has near authority enough to place judgement upon their brothers and sisters for falsehood, in return perhaps placing them onto the correct path when teetering off. Is this concept something that is against amrit or sikhi? Obviously not something to be feared but to know in the back of our minds that something is there watching over incase we do not value the journey we have been placed on to obtain our connection with the guru and our husband lord. Is it an adversary? Are we preparing ourselves for the battle against the Angel of Death? Can somebody please elaborate further and aide me in truly understanding the symbolism of this being? This Angel of death/judgement is a messenger of "yama," who my understanding seems to be apart of the universal creature still in some aspect. I have also read in a sikhi forum that Angels do not belong in sikhi because they are not on the same path as "humans," and they try very hard to get into sikhi to be able to reunite with their one true creator again. What are thoughts on this? This is what I read: "The gurus were far above the angels. Bani tells us that angels are finite creatures and seek the dust of gursikhs." I have read this on an app from [url]www.sikhanswers.com[/url] [url]www.sikhitothemax.com[/url] Can someone please elaborate on this? How does one know what the difference is between an "angel" and a gursikh? Are they not both beings of light? When I look up the meaning of angel it is the/a messenger of god. At the same time I reflect and know that in sikhi the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is considered the living Guru, and each page is labelled Ang. Which I have also learned in gurmukhi means limb of god. I have also looked up the names... Angang which means God of love ([url]http://www.modernindianbabynames.com/meaning_of_sikh_boy_name_angang.htm[/url]) and to my understand god is love.. the force of love of unconditional love. and then Angad - Of the Original One Angaddev - In service Of the Original One Angad Veer - Heroic Brother of the Original One ([url]http://sikhism.about.com/od/sikhbabynames/a/Sikh_Baby_Names_A.htm[/url]) Anjeela means Homage ([url]http://www.modernindianbabynames.com/sikh_baby_girl_names/A/Sikh/95/3[/url]) and the definition of Homage Noun Special honor or respect shown publicly. Formal public acknowledgment of feudal allegiance. Synonyms obeisance - tribute - respect - honor - honour Then I read through the app that Amrit Naam is true naam. what does this mean? does this mean that Amrit should be the naam that you simran? I am confused? Is Ang just the messenger? to whom? Is the Angel of Death an adversary to amrit? It is said that "The spiritual life giving name, amrit naam, the True Name, which gives eternal spiritual life, has become my food (for my souls support)Those who follow the Guru's teachings, who eat this food (of 'amrit naam') with satisfaction, obtain peace. ANG 150 What does this MEAN? Is the naam not WAHEGURU ? I believe names have a significance in this life, am i overthinking? please I require assistance. The app is called Sikhism FAQ. When I go to "God and his Universe" and read the question "Is there judgement?" The messengers of the god of death (yama) is that what is then deemed the Angel of Death/Darkness/Judgement ? My apologies if my post has been confusing. Sat Sri Akal Ajuni:sippingcoffee: [/QUOTE]
