Concept of God

There is beauty in everything, in every thought every difference, every logic, there is wisdom to be learnt.

Wether we accept it or not is irrelevant - what is, is what is - God will always be God - that will never change - however what changes is how we and those of past and future observe Him and accord Him -


The Sikh term for God is Vahigurū and Nānak describes him as niraṅkār (from the Sanskrit nirākārā, meaning formless), akāl (meaning eternal) and alakh (from the Sanskrit alakśya, meaning invisible or unobserved). At the very beginning of the first composition of Sikh scripture is the figure "1" - signifying the unity of God. Nānak's interpretation of God is that of a single, personal and transcendental creator with whom the devotee must develop a most intimate faith and relationship to achieve salvation. Sikhism advocates the belief in one god who is omnipresent and has infinite qualities. This aspect has been repeated on numerous occasions in the Gurū Granth Sāhib and the term ik ōaṅkār signifies this. In the Sikh teachings, there is no gender for God. When translating, the proper meaning cannot be correctly conveyed without using a gender definition, but this distorts the meaning by giving the impression that God is masculine, which is not the message in the original script.

Nānak further emphasizes that a full understanding of God is beyond human beings. However, Nānak also describes God as being not wholly unknowable. God is considered sarav vi'āpak (omnipresent) in all creation and visible everywhere to the spiritually awakened. Nānak stresses that God must be seen from "the inward eye", or the "heart" of a human being - that meditation must take place inwardly to achieve enlightenment progressively. Nānak emphasizes this revelation in creation as crucial, as its rigorous application permits the existence of communication between God and human beings.

Sikhs believe in a single god that has existed from the beginning of time and will survive forever. He/she is genderless, fearless, formless, immutable, ineffable, self-sufficient, not subject to the cycle of birth and death, and omnipotent.

How is this different to how i regard God - who i call the Creator, Lord of the universe - there is no difference; however the difference lies in identification(in the form or reverence) with messengers whom God has sent forth with a message, identification with objects (that people designate God to so they can have Him close by not realising that God is all around) -

this world is not too disimilar you know and if we look deep enough, past the surface we will God willing start to glimpse the most basic of all truth, beyond the fabrications and amplicication that the human mind subjects all things to.

i leave you with this thought -

Would you ever elevate your servants/subordinates to the level where they rival you, and to the point that you allow people to pay them as much allegiance as is being paid to you?
