[QUOTE="Amarpal, post: 105, member: 10"] Dear Khalsa Jee (Ideal Singh) I am aware that I am not complete. I have to learn and evolve a lot before I can answer ‘What is God’. I keep deliberating within myself over this question. Over time, I have just started forming my own opinion and an answer for it. I am not sure if it is right or wrong. Still I am daring to put it on this forum so that members can comment and I can learn from their responses. We humans have evolved a lot in various fields. We have created spacecrafts, aircrafts and aircraft carriers, nuclear reactor, equipment and systems for medical diagnostics, computers, communication systems etc. Yet, we have not been able to create a single blade of grass on our own. Some ‘Intelligence’ is doing it all over, all the time. This ‘Cosmic Intelligence’ for me is God. It is this ‘Intelligence’ that gave me life and birth. This ‘Intelligence’ is still working within me - it is sustaining my life. That is why I say that God is within me. It is an unified ‘Intelligence’ – probably it is ‘Ek Onkaar’. It is the one spirit behind every thing that has happened, or is happening or will happen – probably it is ‘Karta Purakh’. It fears no body, it keep acting day in day out – probably it is ‘Nirbhau’. (I am of the opinion that the word Nirbhau in Sri Guru Granth Sahib is improperly translated to mean fearless. I am unable to think that God is without fear alone - God is without envy, without anger, without greed, without lust and all without all other emotions. How ‘Almighty’ can be limited to this emotion alone. Guru Sahib cannot miss this point; probably what we understand currently was not the intended means of the Guru Sahib. I think the correct Hindi equivalent should be ‘Nirbhav’, which is very close to Nirbhau, it means without emotions - this word is all comprehensive. The misunderstanding has probably happened because of the way it was pronounced in the days of Guru Sahib or the way it is written in Gurmukhi. The ‘Cosmic Intelligence’, which I am referring to, works without involvement of emotions so it is Nirbhav too). This ‘Intelligence’ has no enmity towards any body – probably it is ‘Nirvair’. This ‘Intelligence’ is an entity that has been working in the past, continues to work in the present and will be working in future also, independent of time – probably it is ‘Akaal Murat’. No one created or gave birth to this ‘Intelligence’ – probably it is ‘Ajuni’. It existed always and on its own – probably it is ‘Saibhang’. This ‘Cosmic Intelligence’ is an ultimate entity - probably the ‘Sat’. To ‘Sat’, we cannot give any name. Giving it a name will limit it to the meaning of that word; it will negate the infinite incomprehensive nature of the ultimate reality. That is why Guru Sahib has just left it to say ‘Satnaam’ indirectly saying what ever that ‘Sat’ is that is its name – ‘Naam’. Guru Sahib has not given any specific name to this ‘Sat’ and has left it to be known as ‘Naam’ itself for the simple reason that ‘Sat’ cannot be explained in any of the way we humans are conversant with, we cannot create a word to convey what God is. - probably this ‘Cosmic Intelligence’ is ‘Sat’ This ‘Cosmic Intelligence’ cannot be seen, cannot be felt, and cannot be perceived by any of the human faculties – probably it is ‘Nirakaar’. I still have to look deeper before I conclude on what I have been pondering over and sharing with you here on this forum. Please comment and enlighten me, so that I learn.
