[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 82737, member: 5290"] [CENTER][LEFT][U][FONT=Book Antiqua]Attributes Of The Creator[/FONT][/U][B][FONT=Book Antiqua] The following are some of other attributes of the Creator , the almighty as is sung by The First Nanak. He ,admittedly, stated that He cannot state anything more than this even though he knows/seen/met HIM yet HE is beyond description.Infact, Guru Sahib have emphasized that he is beyond description as he is unfathomable and cannot be seen. We are in this thread are trying to establish the meaning of the term Guru as it has appeared in Granth sahib ji.
