I spent most of the evening last night in thought of god, there appear to be two gods, one in my head, and an external creator god. I am quite happy with the thought that the one in my head is actually who I am, although my physical presence does not reflect that, so we have another presence, my body. My body clearly has needs and requires it senses to be stimulated, my mind seems to have no needs, but lots of answers. My mind has no hunger, no sexual appetite, it seems just to exist on love, and not even the need to be loved, but the need to show love. My body on the other hand needs love, food, if my mind is the giver, then my body is the taker.
So if I am to establish that this internal purity is in fact a link to god, it clearly is not capable of creation, but I do believe it to be a part of the building blocks of creation, thus linked to god. To be at peace with myself, I do not believe that my body needs to reflect my purity in its entirety, I think that my body and mind need to be free of guilt, in whatever way that is managed, and that is the key to successful living as a sikh, the balance between life and mind, between spirituality and living in the real world. There are those that live in the flesh, and hardly the spirit, and also those that live in the spirit and hardly the flesh, and they are both wrong, and on a path away from the truth, the truth is to combine the purity of the spirit with the fire of the body and create balance, that is the view I formed last night.
Now to god, clearly god is not an old man in the sky, so what is god. I have taken to reading the Hukamnama every day, I have noted that the word Har, Har is mentioned after Gods name, however, I know that Gods name is Sat, the truth, now, then and forever, but what is true, then, now and forever, my eyes looked round the bedroom for inspiration, my wife was watching some american csi type program, dan was lying in the middle of us, alfie was asleep, and virgil was in his corner, my eyes then focused on the clock, time is here now, then and forever, time, is the name of god time?, I lay back and thought about that for a while, how do you worship time, how do you love time?, unless you love that moment, worship that moment, because thats pretty much all you have is that moment.
Curious, I read yesterdays Hukamnana and replaced the mention of Lord, god, creator with the word TIME. It seemed to work, seemed to make sense, in the absence of any personality or physical image of god, could god be time?
I would like to hear from anyone who finds this thinking contrary to sikh belief,
thank you
