..again yes, Om [A U M] is made up of the 3, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. And, Baba Nanak wanted to depart from the traditional concept of OM to give it both independent existence and a quality [perfect]. But, where OM is sound [history: when all creation is at rest there is ONE sound, OM], Gur Ghar predicated it with Ek [1] Om [sound] kar [eternal]. Removed it completely from having attributes. Gur Ghar kept the ideology of the Brahm as the primary cause and through out Gurbani it has been epitomised.
Yes, I agree. The departure from the Hindu Trimurti occurs with the placement of the numeral 1 (Ek) before the Oankar. This in effect rejects the trinity in favor of the One who creates, sustains and destroys.
The Ek is nirgun (without attributes), but we cannot rule out the sargun that is Oankar. Both terms taken together are what make Sikhi panentheistic.
The shabadh Dhakni Oankar discusses both terms separately (Ekankar, Oankar). The shabadh begins on page 929, GGS.
It begins with a discussion of Oankar, through which creation is manifest (sargun). Then it transitions into Ekankar, which permeates the creation, but remains distinct (nirgun).
