[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 148568, member: 14194"] There are things to remember when we view creation and hence the creator (known as God, waheguru, kartar purakh, etc.). [CENTER][CENTER][/CENTER] [/CENTER] Now as human beings we get myopic in how we see. A phrase that I paraphrase below comes to mind, [CENTER]Fundamentally it all points to the fact that eye of the beholder and visions of the beholder can at times be very limited. [/CENTER] Question becomes: What is the eye that will create a vision of the creation as a truth without limits. Hence conversely the discovery and revelation of the creator. Gurbani says there is no such eye and don't look for one or pretend you have one. Creation is limitless, timeless, infinite and continuous. Don’t need to go far, see first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, often known as “Mool Mantar”. So with every passing moment, if you are developing a better and correct understanding of creation (hence the creator), you are doing well and should be proud. Does creation have timelines linked to our human lifespans in days, nights, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries. The answer is absolutely not. Creation’s timelines are not so limited but in a way are infinite. So is it even a realistic or achievable goal to so called find God, understand all creation (hence the creator), or merge with so called “Jyot”, or be one with “waheguru”, etc.? Unfortunately the answer is that it is not a realistic goal. This kind of objective can only be set by those who don’t even pay attention and respect to the first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Namely, In a related aspect of timelines, the miseries, the misfortunes, the bad things (per anyone’s view or classification), why do these happen? Can’t creator create a perfect world here and now? Creation can be viewed as a continuous sculpture that has no relation to timelines of years or centuries as humans know these. Creations is mixing things up, creation is testing new directions, creation is testing new transformations, so such variations are nothing for infinite creation but may appear huge for you and me. These situations and the feelings and such that these create actually is a tool for creation to subdivide tasks in fulfilling its ultimate visions of infinity. So elements of creation will evolve in the transformations. Such as not fitting at any point towards the transformations of creation will transform, be part of another creation in ways the creator wants, and this will continue in the hands of the timeless and the infinite for times unknown. So should we just give up, feel dejected, feel hopeless and helpless! The answer is no. Importance is in understanding our part, position amongst all creation around us. Try to understand as much of creation as you can, behold creation, love creation in a way be thankful to be human. Live in a way that you believe creation expected you to for the species or form that you are in. Don’t sweat the small stuff, creation is not keeping a report card. Read and understand the mool mantar again. You violate the possible rules or synergy of creation’s eye, it will become ruthlessly clear to you in your life time or other’s life times that associate or are linked to you physically or any other ways.

In human view of continuity, few births, few deaths, few diseased people, few good people or few bad people are not even an issue with creation. The one creator’s creation has the ability to address or deal with such through transformations over time. Think big, understand big, act in consonance with all creation around, you would be considered a positive player in creation’s eye and be a contributor towards and party to creation’s long term plans. Sat Sri Akal.
