[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 182133, member: 14194"] Akasha ji thanks for starting a wonderful thread. [I][COLOR=blue]Akasha ji beyond Sikhism or Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji we have to ask ourselves questions of logic in how we understand things.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]As human beings we have great deal of difficulty in concepts perpetual, concepts of synergistic co-generation, concepts of synergistic perpetuation.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]Let me cite an example.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue] In this example what would I call as the creative force that never changes and is beyond time or other variables? I will call it the truth behind our body existence.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]Now if we were to think beyond ourselves we will start to accumulate whole bunch of wisdom that is permanent for how and why things are. This wisdom would be in the form of ultimate never changing truths. This truthfulness is what defines creation. [/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]What is the expanse of this truthfulness? Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji teaches us that such is infinite. If the truthfulness or such ultimate truths have such infiniteness is it viable for us to define the creator and associate one with such? Perhaps it is but what functionally do we gain in trying to box in a possible creator of infiniteness. My belief is that one would be forever making errors in such an effort.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]You simply cannot box infinity.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]What could we possibly call such an infinity? In love we may call it the creator. In cherishment and our limitations we may want to personify with attributes we understand with our limits. As long as we recognize that these are matter of convenience or ways for ourselves to create a manageability towards all this then I believe we shall be good.[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=blue]However if we suddenly start to extrapolate in human terms and human understanding the concepts into a God we understand, a creator we understand, then it is guaranteed we would be committing errors and creating falsehoods. Fundamentally an anti-thesis of creation and creator.[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=black]So how does Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and so Sikhism guides us. An infinite creator and one creation all connected. Learn as much as you can about the creator (truths that sustain) and creation all around and live happily thereafter.[/COLOR] Sikh for ever learning, for ever seeking and for ever so living with all through truths so discovered. [COLOR=black]Sat Sri Akal.[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=black]PS: [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black]All this business of merging and un-merging has been addressed in other posts. In essence one merges into the wisdom and it is not a physical merging of bodies, souls, atoms and vapors.[/COLOR] <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> [/QUOTE]
