[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 80789, member: 2125"] Can't you see the answer in your two comments veer ji? If Guruji gave the world Shabad Naam, why would torture, calamity and death have struck Him in His 10 physical forms? And the answer is so simple, because Guruji's consciousness was merged in the Parabrahm, so the physical form is mere vehicle. What does Gurbani say about this question? It doesn't say mankind is mere inanimate instrument through which Divine blows, it says the Divine is pervading Presence in all His created forms. [INDENT][COLOR="Purple"]ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸੰਗੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਮੁਰਾਰੇ ॥ guramukh sangee kirasan muraarae || The Lord Krishna becomes the Gurmukh's Companion. ਦਇਆਲ ਦਮੋਦਰੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਭਾਤੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੨॥ dhaeiaal dhamodhar guramukh paaeeai horath kithai n bhaathee jeeo ||2|| The Gurmukh finds the Merciful Lord. He is not found any other way. ||2|| ਨਿਰਹਾਰੀ ਕੇਸਵ ਨਿਰਵੈਰਾ ॥ nirehaaree kaesav niravairaa || He does not need to eat; His Hair is Wondrous and Beautiful; He is free of hate. ਕੋਟਿ ਜਨਾ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਪੂਜਹਿ ਪੈਰਾ ॥ kott janaa jaa kae poojehi pairaa || Millions of people worship His Feet. ~SGGS Ji p. 98[/COLOR][/INDENT] Didn't you once tell me that Kirasan here is not referring to Krishan of Vrindaban, but to Parabrahm Nirankaar? Yet, Parabrahm is called after Krishan. Even Guruji was called after Har Krishan. Why is this? Isn't it because Har Krishan is one of the names of the Supreme Parabrahm Nirankaar? How can this be? Unless our understanding is lacking. We do not worship Krishna as the Supreme Parabrahm, yet Gurbani clearly states the Supreme was with Krishan. In previous yugs Har Krishan was a form of the Parabrahm, says Gurbani, the Parabrahm created Kirasan.
