[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 202729, member: 2610"] The way you can find out who Hari and Ram are, is by reading the stories that are mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib. Remember these are the central characters who are always being talked about in Guru Granth Sahib. So if you can understand these characters you can grasp the theology, spirituality and methods of practice in Guru Granth Sahib pretty well. Who are the characters in the stories? Here are the famous ones - Prehlaad ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ Dhruv ਧ੍ਰੂ Ajamal ਅਜਾਮਲ Sudama ਸੁਦਾਮਾ Ahilya ਅਹਲਿਆ Dropadi ਦ੍ਰੋਪਤੀ Narad ਨਾਰਦ Ganika ਗਨਿਕਾ Gaj ਗਜ Bidar ਬਿਦਰ etc (understand the narrative, ask -) Who are these people? (understand the theology, ask -) Who are they praying to? (to understand spiritual practice, ask -) How are they praying? Try to see why Guru Arjun Dev ji is called Ajooni by sikhs in Gurbani. Ajooni means transcends joons ie not being limited to a joon. You can definitely incarnate and be ajooni at the same time. In Guru Granth Sahib He definitely incarnates. One of His names is Narhar ਨਰਹਰ. Nar-man, Har- God This is only true when they are mentioned in one breath. Ie Brahma Bishan Mahesh, together. When they are mentioned together, they are not referring to Brahma, Bishan or Mahesh, individually... Rather it is referring to a[B] collection of qualities[/B] of Brahma-Bishan-Mahesh. It is then referring to their oft-emphasized features (oft-mentioned in their particular religions that is) - Creator-Preserver-Destroyer, the three qualities. So the phrase Brahma-Bishan-Mahesh means Creation-Preservation-Destruction. It is not referring to the individuals. The creation-preservation-destruction of the world is under the influence of Maya. But the Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in their totality are not under the influence of Maya. Outside of the collective phrase Brahma-Bishan-Mahesh, The word Bishan is referring to all qualities of Creator-Preserver-Destroyer, He is the supreme consciousness, Parmatma. He creates Maya, the world. Bishan ki maya te hoe bhin ਬਿਸਨ ਕੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਹੋਇ ਭਿੰਨ ॥ [/QUOTE]
