[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 78214, member: 35"] When thinking of His creation, what comes easily to mind is the image of Kartar Purakh(u) Akaal, Hari, Waheguruji, the creative, supportive, nourishing, destroying and transforming Lord making the Universe, the realms, the planets, the earth, and all living things. We think of this in the form of a great epic event. What may come to mind more slowly as a reaization is that He is always creating and transforming even as we read and write together here.
