[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 109568, member: 2610"] Susan ji and Satyaban ji thank you for your replies. History shows us that the knowledge of man is growing day by day, and so I believe that it is possible for one to gain more knowledge than the historical celebrities that we all come to admire, with all due respect. people like Bhagat Kabir ji or even Guru Nanak Dev Ji... About Bhagat Kabir's shabad, I dont think the message was "God is everywhere and in every life force." I think the message was put forth in the form of a question:[COLOR=#0000ff]So who is good, and who is bad?[/COLOR] [COLOR=black][B]It has to do with the fear of the unknown![/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=black]The "[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]anxiety and fear" [/COLOR][COLOR=black]that Kabir Sahib mentions later on are referring to the feelings one gets when one thinks about the "other guy" or "guy from different religion". Its the fear of the unknown. We usually label the unknown as something BAD and evil! [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]The idea is that the unknown "clay" or person contains the very familiar God, so "the other" is not unknown anymore but much familiar like the God inside. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]and so Kabir goes on that once you "[COLOR=#0000ff]see the Immaculate Lord pervading everywhere"[/COLOR][COLOR=black], your "[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]anxiety and fear have [will be] been taken away"[/COLOR][COLOR=black].[/COLOR] He asks that if the Unknown "welled up" from the same light as you did, is it really bad? Back then people did not know how the world came to be. This was( and still is in many parts of the world) the prevalent creation myth of the time: [COLOR=#0000ff]First, Allah created the Light; then, by His Creative Power, He made all mortal beings.[/COLOR] We know better! Kabir ji is also referring to the Creator and the Creation arguements that we now know to be false: "It looks designed therefore it must be designed, by a Designer." Kabir ji used figure of speech and calls the Designer, Potter; and the design, clay materials. [COLOR=#0000ff]"Creation is in the Creator, and the Creator is in the Creation"[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]- Follows up with the creation myth, and the only reason I can see why it's there, is to make you understand that you should not be afraid of the unknown, "the other". [/COLOR] Interpreting it literally, would be taking it as a fact, which it is clearly not. [/QUOTE]
