[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 188874, member: 35"] In my opinion this thread is destined to be a theological train wreck. The shabad is not related to the topic of the thread. The only connection to be made is with the theme of separation. One might note that whenever the concepts of atma, separation, and the pain of separation are mentioned in SGGS ji they are the context NOT the lesson of any particular shabad. Some comments of late may lead us to a place where we are behaving not unlike the brahmins who are gurus to the world but not gurus of the devotee Kabir. Are any of these questions relevant to Guru Nanak's teachings? [LIST=1] [*]If the perception of separation is an illusion, why would connection not also be an illusion? [*]We assume that some mental process, let's call it Ego, causes the false perception of separation. But how does atma gain a false sense of separation, such that it feels pain or suffers? [*] Does Ego suffer pain, or does atma suffer pain? Or do they both suffer pain? [*]Does Ego make atma aware of its sense of separation or connection? Or does atma do this independently of Ego? [*] Does atma have perceptions? [*]Is an atma capable of perceiving itself as separated or connected? [*]Is there one atma for each individual person? [*]If there is one atma for each individual, then by definition atmas are all separate and the perception of being separated is correct, and not an illusion. [*]On the other hand, perhaps all atmas are connected through the divine principal of God in All. [*]If all atmas are connected indirectly through the Sat, then how do some of them get disconnected? [*]Or do all of them become disconnected? [*]Do a rare few remain connected through an individual lifetime? [*]Let's assume that the Ego or False Self is a very individual process. How do individual egos cause the inter-connected atmas to experience the illusion of separation? Which part of the connected atma decouples from the others? [/LIST] In sum, is it atma or something else that experiences the pain of separation? Presumably all of these questions have answers. We might find however that the answers take us outside the teachings of SGGS ji. Some answers might be answers to questions that are important to Islam, or Christianity, or Zoroastrianism, but not to Sikhi. [/QUOTE]
