[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 119359, member: 138"] First of all, I want to thank Dalvinder Singh Grewal ji for an excellent, greatly researched, well written essay. It is a commendable effort indeed. I would also like to add that I admire Stephen Hawking tremendously who is an amazing person with very keen brain despite his physical limitations. I have read many of his books with great interest including the '[B]A Brief History of Time[/B]'. All his books loaded with great information made me smirk unintentionally because I saw in them what Guru Nanak saw but in more visionary manner which involved the inner potential of the people, the part of the creation. Let me put it another way. Stephen Hawking saw and still sees the world like someone sitting in a freezer and looking at the Sun and imagining its warmth through a small hole. I do not blame Mr. Hawking for that after all he is a THEORETICAL physicist. The emphasis on the former is intentional. Some say he is an agnostic. His ex wife Lucy mentioned during their divorce proceedings that he is an atheist. Whatever his religious or non religious beliefs may be, he is a theorist unlike Guru Nanak who was a practical person linked to the common person on the street and saw the divinity of The Source in all which Mr. Hawking lacks in his own theoretical vision that mainly caters to the elite in his field. Mr. Grewal is right when he says," Had he (Stephen Hawking) read Guru Nanak or Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS), the holy scripture of the Sikhs, he would have not been confused. Answers to all his questions are available in SGGS." Mr. Grewal also compared other scientists' theories/ observations with the Gurbani from the SGGS. Most of them echo the same as Guru Nanak did using different terminology. All of the modern scientists, theorists had and have scientific instruments to collect their data with and hence with their help, came to their observations/ conclusions. But there is a caveat here. Guru Nanak had the divine instrument within that showed him a lot more than what these scientists have found so far. Guru Nanak explained the Big Bang as Hukam and created a mission for the life created by this Big Bang. And that mission is not something for a theorist. The mission of Guru Nanak was and still is via the 11th Nanak, the SGGS, to empower every human being with an internal Hubble telescope so that each one of us can explore our individual universes within to their maximum potential. Mr. Hawking still has the time but he needs a Sikh or two so that he can be exposed to the teachings of SGGS, our only Guru. I am sure he will be in awe and come out of the freezer to really feel the warmth of the Sun in a practical manner. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
