[QUOTE="davinderdhanjal, post: 162608, member: 13600"] Ambarsaria ji, You have posed a very open question that should exercise a lot of minds including the ones who have already contributed. I look at things simply and will put my penny’s worth. I have not been through the whole of the Granth Sahib but already the differentiation of Guru and guru is confusing. Please correct me if I am wrong, our gurus talk about meeting the Guru or God or Lord – my knowledge of Granth Sahib is not sufficient to define what form of this meeting or vision is as yet. However just to learn more I join in the discussion. To follow your questions I will use the same order of numbering as your examples in an attempt to put my thoughts over: [LIST] [*]Creator as being a specific form- Japji Sahib explains the difference between human and God. As God is not born then all Ram/Krishna/Buddha/Christ/Mohamed are gods or prophets as the case may be because they were born. Granth Sahib quotes ‘darshan of Guru’ I would take from that – we have to invent a form to satisfy ourselves unless the state of mind to ‘see God’ is sublime feeling and peace of mind which an average human does not experience. [*]Getting in touch with One Creator – the Creator is in each and every one of us and all things. So to get in touch with the creator is to awaken the Creator in one. That takes a lot of ‘work’ like starting with a rough diamond the final polished state – it needs sharp corners removed as the five thieves, keeping the Lord in mind all the time and being thankful for His support to take us to that state. [/LIST] 3. About understanding infinite – what ever we use as an example is going to be one aspect of the Infinite. To keep it short and looking at it mathematically a 70kg person has 2.3x10^28 electrons, then there are 6 billion humans and if we use the same composition for argument sake the earth is 6^24kg, and the earth is one of the 9 planets of our sun. There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy; there are at least 170 billion galaxies in our ever expanding universe. Need we go any further? This is just one aspect, others may be spiritual, sound, thought, and more I do not know. If electron is assumed as the smallest particle it is controlled and answers to the Lord. Human still has to find theories to explain its behaviour. One mathematical definition of infinity is ‘whole is a part of itself’. That would mean, in terms of electron example, the infinite is part of some combination of electrons! This combination may require a certain mental condition and chanting (sound) for its organisation. As we work up to more complex combinations the matter becomes more ‘visible’ but the behaviour more complex.
