[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 79041, member: 2125"] That's because we have Gurbani and they don't. Gurbani tells us that Guru is the Parabrahm. And absolutely everything derives from Him. The Unmanifest Uncreated is also manifest in all creation. Gurbani tells us that Shiv, Vishnu and Brahma are the supportive material structure and could not reach the limits of the unknowable uncreated and so were in bondage to the 3 gunas and duality. However, Gurbani aslo states the the infinite Supreme Parabrahm manifested Himself in the creation, in the Hindu devas, and in all that is.
