Does Akaal Forgive?

[Original]

Good evening Everyone,

Ambarsaria Ji, your observation below is well founded -

It just occurred to me that sometimes we over complicate the simple or debate where none may be required

.Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave hundreds of different names to God and finally declared, 'no name can capture thee'.

Admin Kaur Ji, if the sound of Akal Sahib strikes a chord deep down, please continue. After all, the idea is to connect with the whole, of which, you are a part. If we depart from the proven methods of scientific reasoning to spiritual perspectives , perhaps we can understand our relationship in a more holistic and meaningful way. Moreover, if we were to temporarily suspend some of our assumptions about reality and entertain the notion that there is more to life than meets the eye and that this more can be communicated with and to, through speech [sound], then, call it Pinocchio if you like.

Our consciousness is intimately related and connected to the infinite energy field of creation, a minute particle of the unified field of pure consciousness [Khalsa] that we call God. In theory, by fully experiencing the part we can experience the whole [waheguru].

Goodnight n God bless everyone !

So I'm wondering about this shabad which starts on panna 157

Admin Kaur Ji

In reference to ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਬਖਸੇ ਬਖਸਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੨॥ [above], one would, in the first instance, look for the "active" and the "passive" voice of the actor making the statement, orally or in writing. And, in this case, it's Guru Amardas Ji [subject, ADJ]. What follows is that in a sentence where the verb is in the active [ਬਖਸੇ, meaning, forgive in the context in which it is applied by ADJ] voice, the subject [ADJ] of the sentence acts upon the object [God] of the sentence. Where the verb is in the passive voice, the object of the sentence is acted upon by the subject. For example -

The defendant struck the claimant = active voice = ਬਖਸੇ
The claimant was struck by the defendant = passive voice = ਬਖਸਣਹਾਰੁ

Since ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਬਖਸੇ is delivered in an active voice, meaning, ADJ is declaring that His God forgives, it must accordingly be read as an authoritative account of ADJ's Ekonkar. However, caution must be had when presenting an overview of Ekonkar as nirgun [without attributes].

It must be noted that AP is beyond good n bad, right n wrong, forgive n blame, etc.,,,,.

Hope it helps you to wonder better -
