[QUOTE="Original, post: 152132, member: 14400"] Dear All According to Sikhism, God lives in all of us and beautifully defined in the preamble (mool mantra) of [I]Jap Ji Sahib[/I] is the God of the house of Baba Nanak. Moreover, Guru Gobind Singh Ji further praises and defines the attributes of the Sikh God head in [I]Jaap Sahib[/I]. Here again, he concludes that the almighty is featureless and is beyond the comprehension of the mind, [I][B]akal murat ajuni sahbhang[/B][/I]. Only and only through the workings of this clockwork uiniverse we can have but an iota of the magnificence of what [I][B]Akal Purakh[/B][/I] is and how every fibre of creation is permeated by it. As regards personality look no further than pauri 38 of [I]Jap Ji Sahib[/I] where Baba Nanak Ji stitches a garment to be worn by the prospective Sikh to whom all mankind must at some point in their life aspire to. The essence of what Guru Nanak Ji is saying about personality is - a[FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Verdana]s the rough diamond is dull and lifeless when first removed from the Earth, so does the spiritual nature of man in its fallen state reveal little, if any, of its inherent luminosity? Just as in the hand of the skilful Gem Cutter the shapeless stone is transformed into a sparkling gem so does the soul of man upon the lathe of the divine Gem Cutter is grounded and polished until it reflects the glory of its creator and is ready to receive the holy nectar.
