Limitless God

[Sardara123]

"Why so powerful The Infinite would come into a human form leaving rest of His creation unattended. "

The above line is from a post made by a fellow member in another thread. He has made a lot of people think about this, I am thinking in my own way. Thanks to him for making us explore the truth.

Gurbani tells us God is All. He is everywhere. He is Karta Purkh. He is already in the human body- Bani says this again and again. He(God) is the one making all this happen at SPN. Sabh Gobind Hai- All is He Himself. He is one and Many. All is His Presence. He is everywhere, how can one think that He cant be in Human Form. All is His own Form. Mann Tu Jot Sarup Hai. He is me neech, He is my computer, He is writting this post, He is taking it through the media- which is He Himself. He is the one reading on the other side, at SPN. SPN is He HImself.

It will be stupid for a GurSikh to say ir believe that God is not present at one point, or He will have to ignore the rest of the universe if He comes to a Body. He is EVERYWHERE already present at all the moment. He has no limits.

English Translation(SikhiToTheMax):
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Second House:
He Himself is the Enjoyer, and He Himself is the Enjoyment. He Himself is the Ravisher of all.
He Himself is the Bride in her dress, He Himself is the Bridegroom on the bed. ||1||
My Lord and Master is imbued with love; He is totally permeating and pervading all. ||1||Pause||
He Himself is the fisherman and the fish; He Himself is the water and the net.
He Himself is the sinker, and He Himself is the bait. ||2||
He Himself loves in so many ways. O sister soul-brides, He is my Beloved.
He continually ravishes and enjoys the happy soul-brides; just look at the plight I am in without Him! ||3||
Prays Nanak, please hear my prayer: You are the pool, and You are the soul-swan.
You are the lotus flower of the day and You are the water-lily of the night. You Yourself behold them, and blossom forth in bliss. ||4||25||

"I cannot describe how You are, O True Lord, unseen, infinite, immeasurable, unfathomable and unmoving Lord. O Nanak, He is my Lord and Master." Something very deeply metaphysical in these lines of the shabad. When something, in our case Someone, is to great to ponder "immeasurable" and "unfathomable. AND you wish to understand better, you can only see by fixing your attention on One, Unmovable thing, in our cse One, Unmovable Beng.

[Sardara123]

He is playing this Limitless Play in Limitless ways.

Gauree Maajh, Fourth Mehl:
Playful is my Lord of the Universe; playful is my Beloved. My Lord God is wondrous and playful.
The Lord Himself created Krishna, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord Himself is the milkmaids who seek Him.
The Lord Himself enjoys every heart, O my Lord of the Universe; He Himself is the Ravisher and the Enjoyer.
The Lord is All-knowing - He cannot be fooled, O my Lord of the Universe. He is the True Guru, the Yogi. ||1||
He Himself created the world, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord Himself plays in so many ways!
Some enjoy enjoyments, O my Lord of the Universe, while others wander around naked, the poorest of the poor.
He Himself created the world, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord gives His gifts to all who beg for them.
His devotees have the Support of the Naam, O my Lord of the Universe; they beg for the sublime sermon of the Lord. ||2||
The Lord Himself inspires His devotees to worship Him, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord fulfills the desires of the minds of His devotees.
He Himself is permeating and pervading the waters and the lands, O my Lord of the Universe; He is All-pervading - He is not far away.
The Lord Himself is within the self, and outside as well, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord Himself is fully pervading everywhere.
The Lord, the Supreme Soul, is diffused everywhere, O my Lord of the Universe. The Lord Himself beholds all; His Immanent Presence is pervading everywhere. ||3||
O Lord, the music of the praanic wind is deep within, O my Lord of the Universe; as the Lord Himself plays this music, so does it vibrate and resound.
O Lord, the treasure of the Naam is deep within, O my Lord of the Universe; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord God is revealed.
He Himself leads us to enter His Sanctuary, O my Lord of the Universe; the Lord preserves the honor of His devotees.
By great good fortune, one joins the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, O my Lord of the Universe; O servant Nanak, through the Naam, one's affairs are resolved. ||4||4||30||68||
