[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 209892, member: 18224"] So are yo saying any one of us can be considered a Demi God because we all have souls? I'm not getting what you mean. All I know is Demi god as an actual physical entity does not exist. If you just mean any of us who realize God are Demi gods then ok I can see that. But even then someone who realizes God would never have ego to accept being called anything with 'God' in the name. Gurbani tells us that its only through these 'HUMAN' bodies that we can realize God. Therefore any God-realized entity logically must be human (not some supernatural being).
