[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 203171, member: 2709"] This is because Islam teaches that God exists in some other place - He is totally separate from His creation, watching it closely and giving out reward and punishment to His subjects. This is monotheism the way a lay person would understand it. Sikhi, on the other hand, demonstrates that the Creator is always with us, within us, feels our pain and our happiness, and when we are attuned to It, we can radiate Its qualities accessible to us humans by being compassionate, loving, kind, and trying to see the world as the Creator sees it through our eyes - as one beautiful symphonic orchestration. We can experience the Creator here and now - we don't have to wait until we die. I don't understand how this downgrades the Creator in any way. In fact, it makes more sense to me, that we would be made up of Godstuff. If we aren't within God, then that means that God actually resides in another physical place. That doesn't makes sense to me. If you intend no disrespect (as you said in your sign-off), then perhaps you could explain to me what you meant by 'sikhi is not supposed to be a rational being'? Because that kinda sounds like you're calling us irrational. Please clarify. *facepalm* That tuk is out of context and stripped of its poetic frame of reference. The elephant is often used as a metaphor for egotism. If you read the entire shabad, you will see that Guru Sahib is illustrating something along the lines of 'My deluded inclination is to babble and talk from a place of egotism (which is false), instead of being connected to God and expressing Its Will instead of my own misguided one'. I offer you the whole verse (not even the whole shabad) for you to contemplate, with Guru's grace: [INDENT][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%A8']ਮਨ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%80']ਕੀ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BF']ਮਤਿ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%97%E0%A8%B2%E0%A9%81']ਮਤਾਗਲੁ [/URL][URL='http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE']ਮਤਾ [/URL]॥ Man kī maṯ maṯāgal maṯā.
