Ek OnKaar Sat Naam
Gurfateh
Tejwant Singh Ji, I have read all the further points you have made about theology. I believe we are at cross-purposes. You appear to be interested in ensuring SGGS is not represented as dogma, or represented as theological dogma. I do not have such an interest. I don't mind if it is dogma, or isn't dogma, as I see it only as valuable guidance irrespective of whether it is dogmatic or pragmatic. I do happen to see it as pragmatic, but other aspects of Sikhi as dogmatic. All I wished to note by suggesting there were theological reasons behind SGGS, was that some form of studies had been made by the contributors, and these studies were associated with their interest in a creator (or God) hence "theology".
You have also linked in this use of a personal deity, to represent Ik Ong Kaar. Again, I do not mind viewing Ik Ong Kaar as personal. My viewing Ik Ong Kaar as personal makes it easy to associate with Ik Ong Kaar, despite the unfathomable nature of Ik Ong Kaar. I would find it very difficult to undertand how to try to please a non-personal concept of Ik Ong Kaar, and trying to please Ik Ong Kaar is one of my main aims. I could not, for example try to please a brick wall.
The terms ajuni and saibhang, seen in the Mool Mantar, I believe are characteristics of the human soul, common with that of Ik Ong Kaar. Guru Nanak Dev ji is not specifically speaking only of Ik Ong Kaar when these words are used in the Mool Mantar, but is making a comparison to help in the self-realisation process. I have briefly mentioned this in the Blueprint -Sikhi Marg thread you initiated some time ago, and if you see fit we can discuss further thereon.
Sat Sri Akal
