[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 78888, member: 2125"] I think it is clear the Gurbani is saying the God has manifested in different forms throughout the ages. But it is equally clear the previous forms of religion were not complete and are not sufficient in this age. For this age God manifested as Guru Nanak. Without the Naam, no one will be liberated. But when we are talking of physicality, for example, then Guru in all manifestations were only physical bodies subject to decay. But the Jyot of Guru who is the same in all forms, including Shabad Guru Ji, is merged with the Infinite Lord and has grasped both the nirgun and sargun. This is something previous avatars were not able to do which is why Gurbani says they bow at His feet. But it is not correct to think avatars of previous ages, or scriptures of other religions don't also have a manifestation of the God. Sikhism does not have a concept of One God which is limiting in that way as to be "jealous" of other gods, or accuse lesser devas of being fake gods which Sikhs can't tolerate because they serve only the One. That is an Abrahamic concept. And the miracle of Gurbani is that what is being described here actually is now being proven in the fields of theoretical physics. There are infinities of unfolding and infinities enfolded. Imagine Guruji has written about something like that so many hundreds of years ago! It is proof that Gurbani brought the nirgun into this dimension for our Liberation.
