[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 207051, member: 2610"] Guna is referring to the Satva Guna, Rajas Guna and Tamas Guna. Sargun means all of the Gunas. Nirgun means none of them. Just know that for now because this is outside of the scope of this discussion. On to the discussion - Akar means shape or form. And Nir + Akar means - Not-Form or Without Form. Nirakar. ਆਕਾਰ and ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰ - That is correct. However you are confusing ਆਕਾਰ and ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰ with ਏਕੰਕਾਰ and ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ. These are two different concepts. That undermines your whole argument. Ek + Akar is just that - Ek Akar. ਏਕ ਆਕਾਰ It would NOT be Ekankar, which is - Ek Onkar. ੴ - ਏਕ ਓਅੰਕਾਰ Ekankar is short for Ek Onkar. ਏਕੰਕਾਰ is short of ਏਕ ਓਅੰਕਾਰ Nirankar is short of Nir Onkar ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ is short of ਨਿਰ ਓਅੰਕਾਰ Say it out loud. [B]Onkar means One Syllable Aum that is Continuous. ਕਾਰ means continuous process. So ਓਅੰਕਾਰ meaning the one ਓਂ syllable that is continuously vibrating.[/B] Do not confuse this with ਆਕਾਰ and ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰ. That is a mistake. They sound similar but these are different concepts. I can show you how ਆਕਾਰ and ਨਿਰਾਕਾਰ are related to this and how they tie into this discussion but first try to grasp this - ਏਕੰਕਾਰ / ਓਅੰਕਾਰ - means one continuous ਓਂ vibration ਨਿਰ ਓਅੰਕਾਰ -> ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ means "not even ਓਂ vibration", absolute void No form is not vibration in the sense you are thinking of. Vibration is the essence of form, meaning it underlies the form and gives birth to form, but there is definitely such a thing as form. Form and vibration are perceived as separate things. When you are looking at the monitor, you are seeing form. When you read the words, you are seeing form. When you fingers hit the keyboard, they are hitting form. Form is perceived through our senses. So on one level it exists. On another level it arises from Vibration. Because it is pure vibration, it lacks form. Remember Onkar (formless, vibration) creates forms as explained by Guru Sahib above.
