In this sense, all these Gods can be called demi-Gods. They are not the complete story. Shiva, Rama, Hari, Krishna, Zeus, Thor, Yahweh, Allah. All these Gods that we conjure up, even Waheguru, are demi-gods (don't hit me yet). Because none of them are that One God. They point towards God. And because they do so, they <strong>are</strong> the One God, Waheguru. So in a sense, none of the Gods that any of us imagines is the real deal... and yet it <strong>is</strong> the real deal. Through those forms the One God is realized. This realization is infinite, never-ending realization. However, at any point if we stop and claim we have found God then realize that we only have a "demi-God" in our hands... (meditate on this)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">There is an analogy with handicapped people and an elephant. We are all handicapped in a sense so this analogy works. So the handicapped people are all in a room with this elephant.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">The deaf one listens to the elephant and says he is quiet. The blind one sees the elephant and says there is nothing there. The mute one talks to the elephant and says there is no response... wait... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">That's not the analogy. I had it backwards.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">Ok *takes a big breath* handicapped and the elephant in the room. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">They are all just blind now. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">One feels the elephant's tail and says I have got a tail. Another feels the elephant's trunk and says I feel a trunk. Another feels the elephant's underside and says "I know it wasn't raining but if it rains, I am good to go guys." Another finds himself on top of the elephant and says what a bigas* m*********er! wait...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">wait!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">No no no </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">That doesn't seem right.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">Ishna ji, you and I can see! So what is the need for analogies with handicapped people?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">We can both see. That's how we made it to the forum.

Yes of course.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">Ok I grab the trunk and say it's a trunk. You grab the tail and say that you have his tail...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">Hold on... that can't be right either.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">How did this elephant get through the door? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">Ok forget the elephant, there was a snake in the room... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px">and everyone left the room. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9F%E0%A9%8B%E0%A8%A1%E0%A9%80" target="_blank">ਟੋਡੀ </a> <a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A3%E0%A9%80" target="_blank">ਬਾਣੀ </a> <a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AD%E0%A8%97%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%82" target="_blank">ਭਗਤਾਂ </a> ਕੀ</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #008080">टोडी बाणी भगतां की</span></span><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px">Todī baṇī bẖagṯāʼn kī</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000080">Todee, The Word Of The Devotees:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%B4" target="_blank">ੴ </a> <a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81%E0%A8%B0" target="_blank">ਸਤਿਗੁਰ </a> <a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%8D%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A6%E0%A8%BF" target="_blank">ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ </a> ॥</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #008080">ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥</span></span><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px">Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"></span><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #000080">One Universal Creator God.

[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 149533, member: 2610"] [SIZE=2]With Waheguru's Grace, the Almighty, The One and Many... Ishna ji realize that all Forms come from the Formless. In this sense, all these Gods can be called demi-Gods. They are not the complete story. Shiva, Rama, Hari, Krishna, Zeus, Thor, Yahweh, Allah. All these Gods that we conjure up, even Waheguru, are demi-gods (don't hit me yet). Because none of them are that One God. They point towards God. And because they do so, they [B]are[/B] the One God, Waheguru. So in a sense, none of the Gods that any of us imagines is the real deal... and yet it [B]is[/B] the real deal. Through those forms the One God is realized. This realization is infinite, never-ending realization. However, at any point if we stop and claim we have found God then realize that we only have a "demi-God" in our hands... (meditate on this) There is an analogy with handicapped people and an elephant. We are all handicapped in a sense so this analogy works. So the handicapped people are all in a room with this elephant. The deaf one listens to the elephant and says he is quiet. The blind one sees the elephant and says there is nothing there. The mute one talks to the elephant and says there is no response... wait... That's not the analogy. I had it backwards. Ok *takes a big breath* handicapped and the elephant in the room. They are all just blind now. One feels the elephant's tail and says I have got a tail. Another feels the elephant's trunk and says I feel a trunk. Another feels the elephant's underside and says "I know it wasn't raining but if it rains, I am good to go guys." Another finds himself on top of the elephant and says what a bigas* m*********er! wait... wait! No no no That doesn't seem right. Ishna ji, you and I can see! So what is the need for analogies with handicapped people? We can both see. That's how we made it to the forum. So now we [B]know[/B] that we can see. ;) Right? Yes of course. Ok I grab the trunk and say it's a trunk. You grab the tail and say that you have his tail... Hold on... that can't be right either. How did this elephant get through the door? Ok forget the elephant, there was a snake in the room... and everyone left the room. ;) [/SIZE][FONT=AnmolUniPr][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9F%E0%A9%8B%E0%A8%A1%E0%A9%80"]ਟੋਡੀ [/URL] [URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A3%E0%A9%80"]ਬਾਣੀ [/URL] [URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AD%E0%A8%97%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%82"]ਭਗਤਾਂ [/URL] ਕੀ[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008080]टोडी बाणी भगतां की[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2]Todī baṇī bẖagṯāʼn kī [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000080]Todee, The Word Of The Devotees:[/COLOR][/SIZE] [FONT=AnmolUniPr][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%B4"]ੴ [/URL] [URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81%E0%A8%B0"]ਸਤਿਗੁਰ [/URL] [URL="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%8D%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A6%E0%A8%BF"]ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ [/URL] ॥[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008080]ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2]Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.
