Isnt it same Mahes in yesterday quotes described as helpless? I wonder why only names are picked up and distorted the whole message</strong></p><p> By japping Naam you are uniting the consciousness with the sound current which is the heart of creation and the Creator Himself. The sargun forms of the nirguna have no relevance, because it is the Divine Consciousness, the Jyot of the Nirguna which made the sargun forms purposeful, able to fulfill the hukam. You say the Sikhs only have hukam, Vaishnavs don't have this concept. As you admit you have limited knowledge of Vaishnav philosophy, I wonder why you continue to preach what is the Vaishnav philosophy and distort it all the time. Does this make sense? I'm surprised to be asked not to cite Wikepedia, yet the most unsupported denunciations of Hindu philosophy are made and no one puts these assertions on the "hotseat." Yet any assertion of mine is run over several cliffs and then deleted or thread closed to moderate a particular viewpoint. The oppositional views don't even bother to investigate what they are accusing. They just label something or make an accusation, and this is accepted. Yet I am asked for percentages, proofs, definitive and corroborative sources, etc. How can anyone speak of fairness on this forum when I am moderated so much, and no one else is.</p><p> <strong>You are knowledgeable Bhain ji about Vashnava, I am not and I don’t feel to learn about them, Guru Nanak door is enough for me, all others are immaterial for me; however, being knowledgeable of Vashnva, kindly define the same concept of Hukam as in found in Gurbani. To my knowledge, you never addressed it. What you did was that avatars come under His hukam, that is very naive expression of concept of Hukam repeatedly stressed in Gurbani. Hukam word doesn’t exist in their dictionary as I read an article on Vashnava.</strong></p><p> <strong>Lets see the following Guru Vaak in context of totality of Guru Message( I deleted some to make it short idea is still there</strong></p><p> <span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਮਛੁ ਕਛੁ ਕੂਰਮੁ ਆਗਿਆ ਅਉਤਰਾਸੀ </span></span><span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span><span style="color: purple"> </span></p><p><span style="color: purple">mashh kashh kooram aagiaa aoutharaasee ||</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">By the Pleasure of His Will, He took incarnation as the great fish and the tortoise.</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">[/FONT]</span><span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕੇਸਵ ਚਲਤ ਕਰਹਿ ਨਿਰਾਲੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਲੋੜਹਿ ਸੋ ਹੋਇਗਾ </span></span><span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span><span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">੮</span></span><span style="color: purple"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span><span style="color: purple"> </span></p><p><span style="color: purple">kaesav chalath karehi niraalae keethaa lorrehi so hoeigaa ||8||</span></p><p> <span style="color: purple">[/FONT]</span> <span style="color: purple">The Lord of beauteous hair, the Worker of miraculous deeds, whatever He wishes, comes saaval sundhar roop banaavehi baen sunath sabh mohaigaa ||9||</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">He assumed the beautiful form of the blue-skinned Krishna; hearing His flute, all are fascinated and enticed. ||9||</span></p><p><span style="color: purple">~SGGS Ji p. 1082</span></p><p> <strong>All above, Guru ji defines His Sargun form, when He is in His nature, how the names mentioned above can be different from Him. Issue is not that, issue is whom, Sikhs are advised to worship? Guru ji is giving example after example that all you guys are talking about, and giving credit to them, actually He is the one who does so. Numerous times we discussed that, Sargun Sroop is not worth worshiping as we do Him as per Gurbani because Gurbani also look at them differently as Ram’s Cries, and krishana’s deception, Shiva’s frustration. Obviously stress is on His infinity, any one see other than that, I swear, has ignored the idea expressed in Guru message in totality. I am not boasting, the more I read SGGS Ji, the more pictures became clear. Pining for the Infinite is advocated. His beyond birth is stressed through out SGGS Ji.</strong></p><p> </p><p> We see from Gurbani that the avataaras are a manifestation of the all-pervading Lord, nirguna. And that they took incarnation according to His will, hukam. So how can we say the avataaras don't keep the Hukam of God's command? When Gurbani is saying the Lord Himself took incarnation?</p><p> <strong>If for a second I agree with you, how you will define the following, you read it but don’t remember it</strong></p><p> <span

Air is in you, in me and is every where, the air in you and me is also every where, how you or me can claim it is only in us. His pervading in His creation is like that. When Guru ji describes His creation, he uses words to convey His presence in these all mentioned above but continuously Guru ji says” don’t get wrong, He is Ajooni(beyond birth)” Why? So that we should not stuck with avatarvad and forget the Real One. It is that simple. If Gurbani considered [/FONT]</strong><strong>Krishna[/FONT]</strong><strong> as God, it wouldn’t question [/FONT]</strong><strong>Krishna[/FONT]</strong><strong>’s deception but it did. So [/FONT]</strong> <strong>all the cries here are due to misunderstanding Concept of God and His presence in His creation.</strong></p><p> Yes, all the sargun forms have turned to dust. It isn't the forms we worship, but the Divine Light pervading within them.</p><p> <strong>When you say divine light pervading in those guys and that is what is worshiped , how you can avoid stories attached to them while contemplating on them. Wouldnt it be deceiving yourself because Infinite is more attached with calm compared to Sargun Form; who contemplate on Rama, they know what they are doing, all Rama and the story attached to him stays in mind, same case is with Krishna. why even we need to remember those who turned dust, why just not bring smiling flowers in mind to smell His fragrance, His amazing creation, His being infinite beyond space, why those guys with so disgusting stories we should use as aid to recite His Naam?

Isnt it same Mahes in yesterday quotes described as helpless? I wonder why only names are picked up and distorted the whole message[/B] By japping Naam you are uniting the consciousness with the sound current which is the heart of creation and the Creator Himself. The sargun forms of the nirguna have no relevance, because it is the Divine Consciousness, the Jyot of the Nirguna which made the sargun forms purposeful, able to fulfill the hukam. You say the Sikhs only have hukam, Vaishnavs don't have this concept. As you admit you have limited knowledge of Vaishnav philosophy, I wonder why you continue to preach what is the Vaishnav philosophy and distort it all the time. Does this make sense? I'm surprised to be asked not to cite Wikepedia, yet the most unsupported denunciations of Hindu philosophy are made and no one puts these assertions on the "hotseat." Yet any assertion of mine is run over several cliffs and then deleted or thread closed to moderate a particular viewpoint. The oppositional views don't even bother to investigate what they are accusing. They just label something or make an accusation, and this is accepted. Yet I am asked for percentages, proofs, definitive and corroborative sources, etc. How can anyone speak of fairness on this forum when I am moderated so much, and no one else is. [B]You are knowledgeable Bhain ji about Vashnava, I am not and I don’t feel to learn about them, Guru Nanak door is enough for me, all others are immaterial for me; however, being knowledgeable of Vashnva, kindly define the same concept of Hukam as in found in Gurbani. To my knowledge, you never addressed it. What you did was that avatars come under His hukam, that is very naive expression of concept of Hukam repeatedly stressed in Gurbani. Hukam word doesn’t exist in their dictionary as I read an article on Vashnava.[/B] [B]Lets see the following Guru Vaak in context of totality of Guru Message( I deleted some to make it short idea is still there[/B] [COLOR=purple][FONT=Raavi]ਮਛੁ ਕਛੁ ਕੂਰਮੁ ਆਗਿਆ ਅਉਤਰਾਸੀ [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=purple][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=purple] mashh kashh kooram aagiaa aoutharaasee || By the Pleasure of His Will, He took incarnation as the great fish and the tortoise.

Issue is not that, issue is whom, Sikhs are advised to worship? Guru ji is giving example after example that all you guys are talking about, and giving credit to them, actually He is the one who does so. Numerous times we discussed that, Sargun Sroop is not worth worshiping as we do Him as per Gurbani because Gurbani also look at them differently as Ram’s Cries, and krishana’s deception, Shiva’s frustration. Obviously stress is on His infinity, any one see other than that, I swear, has ignored the idea expressed in Guru message in totality. I am not boasting, the more I read SGGS Ji, the more pictures became clear. Pining for the Infinite is advocated. His beyond birth is stressed through out SGGS Ji.[/B] We see from Gurbani that the avataaras are a manifestation of the all-pervading Lord, nirguna. And that they took incarnation according to His will, hukam. So how can we say the avataaras don't keep the Hukam of God's command? When Gurbani is saying the Lord Himself took incarnation? [B]If for a second I agree with you, how you will define the following, you read it but don’t remember it[/B]

being coming in to bodies, to understand this mystery, lets take example of Air. Air is in you, in me and is every where, the air in you and me is also every where, how you or me can claim it is only in us. His pervading in His creation is like that. When Guru ji describes His creation, he uses words to convey His presence in these all mentioned above but continuously Guru ji says” don’t get wrong, He is Ajooni(beyond birth)” Why? So that we should not stuck with avatarvad and forget the Real One. It is that simple. If Gurbani considered [/FONT][/B][B]Krishna[/FONT][/B][B] as God, it wouldn’t question [/FONT][/B][B]Krishna[/FONT][/B][B]’s deception but it did. So [/FONT][/B] [B]all the cries here are due to misunderstanding Concept of God and His presence in His creation.[/B] Yes, all the sargun forms have turned to dust. It isn't the forms we worship, but the Divine Light pervading within them. [B]When you say divine light pervading in those guys and that is what is worshiped , how you can avoid stories attached to them while contemplating on them. Wouldnt it be deceiving yourself because Infinite is more attached with calm compared to Sargun Form; who contemplate on Rama, they know what they are doing, all Rama and the story attached to him stays in mind, same case is with Krishna. why even we need to remember those who turned dust, why just not bring smiling flowers in mind to smell His fragrance, His amazing creation, His being infinite beyond space, why those guys with so disgusting stories we should use as aid to recite His Naam? Is it necessary? Is this way only enlightenment occurs.[/B] [B]Below are your quotes Bhain ji, lets see if they say what you have been advocating or what Guru Nanak says[/B] [COLOR=teal][FONT=Raavi]ਏਕ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨੰ ਸਰਬ ਦੇਵਾ ਦੇਵ ਦੇਵਾ ਤ ਆਤਮਾ [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=teal][FONT=Mangal]॥[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=teal] eaek kirasanan sarab dhaevaa dhaev dhaevaa th aathamaa || The One Lord Krishna is the Divine Lord of all; He is the Divinity of the individual soul.
