[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 75567, member: 5290"] One's inner quest is over after one has seen, read and bisected the current literature to arrive at the Locus standi of the self in relation to the relationship with others and as to with the Supreme.The bisection stops if one arrives at a definitive answer. Unless it is clear, mind is always in delusion. We are all seekers at different levels. Having no resource available with me I have to take refuge in the thread, that you have carefully nurtured, by putting across the plain question that is the title of the thread i.e Why did he Create us.? Is there any pointed reply given in Granth sahib.? Yes, one come across the answer in the format that HE created this creation for devotional worship.If you come across any other answer to this ,besides the one stated above, please do post and I shall be grateful. It shall help a lot. Regards. I was going thru. the following when I stopped and posted above. Just sharing with... [It is said that once Sage Narad and a common householder entered the court of Lord Krishan almost at the same time. Lord Krishan chose to see the householder first.
