Does The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Actually Mention God?

[Randip Singh]

All this talk on Atheism, has got me thinking. Does the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji actually mention the word God, or does it actually just mention something else. Not God as in the Semitic concept.

For example, the first few lines of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji describe "God" as:

Sat - Truth
Akaal Moorat - beyond space and time
Even Ek Onkaar - does not even mean God strictly!

Randip ji,

Guru Fateh.

A very good question. That is the reason I ask all people of other beliefs or non- beliefs, which mainly include Atheists and Muslims when they visit this forum if they understand what " God" is according to Sikhi, and from there questioning it is quite apparent that they have preconceived idea of a deity God in Sikhi which is due to absence of any thought process or inkling to research the matter first before jumping to any kind of conclusions.

IK ONG KAAR means ONE SOURCE OF ALL that there is, has been and shall be. The latter part is explained by Guru Nanak in the first pauri of Jap.

So, IT is neither a personified deity that the Atheists define as "God" but not theirs because they have no belief in it. The funny part is that how can one define something/someone that one claims does not exist? Nor is it exclusive to any one religion or school of thought that claims that " God" only sent their people as the exclusive Messengers, Prophets..

Did the concept of monopoly start in this manner?

I would urge these people to ask questions first or read and understand Gurbani on their own rather than coming with their concept of God to the Sikhi forum and declaring it to be the best dish they have brought for this pot luck get together.

Tejwant ji

I would urge people also to ask questions and read and understanding Gurbani on their own before declaring that "God" does not exist as per Gurmat, or that Sikhism is a variant of "atheisim" as they define it.

I would further urge people to study some philosophy under the tutelage of reputable teachers before they come up with their own concept of "atheism" and then serve it up as the best dish they have brought for this pot luck get together.

:happykaur:

 

[Sinister]

speaking of potlucks, what should be done with the leftovers?



the abrahamic god seems like an emotional person, judgemental, subject to wrath and anger.

so the question I must ask is:

does god in sikh scripture show any attributes of human emotion?

if yes, then expanded:
is this expression of emotion, described in scripture, qualitatively the same as that felt in a 'typical' (for lack of a better word) social or environmental medium?

How to solve:
so, what is the understanding of emotion that is expressed within sikh scriptures?

Yes Randip,

The Sikh concept of the Unapproachable and Unfathomable God
is different from the Ram Rahim which appear in Puranas and the Quran.

It is the mind that tries to arrive at concepts because it cannot witness a multi-directional reality which is beyond its natural habitat. In other words, the mind cannot operate beyond the space-time continuum.

Others may find fault with my reply, however, I am very appreciative that you took the time to post this compendium. Beautiful -- as far as I am concerned.

One thing would make it better, and it is something I will do a little bit at a time. Post the link from each line to the full shabad. Don't worry, I can take care of it.

A while ago, when there was so more much time for vichaar, I began a thread which relates well with your post. The thread is entitled, He Is. I am posting the link because many of the shabads where your tuks are located can be found in that thread. There are more than 12 pages of shabads and conversation on the topic He Is within this thread.

Thank You very much that you liked the post.But you kept me in suspense for a day or two as the post was not thanked by you or anybody. I was surprised to think if I had committed some blunder. But after Rajneesh Madhok ji had thanked , I am at peace that I have not posted something absurd.

If you had liked the post you could have made it known by clicking the Thanks Button. It would have sent me signals that what I posted was in line. Kindly do not forget that you have to encourage us so that we improve our participation and improve the standard of posts.

Coming to HE IS , It is a beautiful thread and apparently you have put in lot of labor.You can revive it by posting a shabad once a while when you have time. I know it is very hard for you as you are a busy person.If you permit me I shall also start posting when it is convenient for me as well.

I am really sorry that I could not reply to this earlier i.e. in the morning as I was hard pressed for time.

Warm Regards!

You are missing the point I am making.

Sikhi talks about something bigger than us, but is it saying "God" in the sense other religions see it.

Even "Waheguru" is Wondrous Teacher !!

Like I stated above, the concept of "God" in Sikhi is waaaaaaaaay different from any other concepts or maybe even the concept of "God" as Sikhs understand it.

For some time I have done a similar contemplation. The concept of God as in other religions is different from Sikhee.

Three words are important in this respect.
Sargun- with attributes (attributed)

[/FONT]Nirgun -attributeless (unattributed)[/FONT]

Nirankar- both formless and also formed[/FONT].

( Nirankaar aakaar aap nirgun sargun ayk.
[/FONT]He Himself is formless and also formed; the One Lord is without attributes and also with attributes.[/FONT]
-SGGS ji -250[/FONT]

God in Sikhee appears to be conceived as Nirankar being without form meaning all existence is God's visible form, but no part of it is a substitute for God. God is also Nirguna and sargun.Often our soul is said to be nirgun.

From Ek Ongkar has come Nirankar then Nirgun / Sargun aspects of creation. The Shabad is coming is coming from Nirankar and is the creative force.

Let us look at some [/FONT] different prevailing beliefs about God and creation.
<o> </o>
Religions portray GOD as transcendent -existing above and beyond the material world , as immanent - present within the material world or both. [/FONT]
God is characterized as follows:[/FONT]

Animism: [/FONT] A belief in a multitude of spiritual beings that either help or harm. So these are to be appeased. [/FONT]

Dualism: A [/FONT]belief in two supreme Gods that are in opposition to each other. Good and Evil.[/FONT]

Deism[/FONT]: A belief that God transcended creation after creating the universe. The universe is functioning in accordance with laws and God does not involve himself in the affairs of universe.[/FONT]

Monotheism[/FONT] : A belief that there is just one God. [/FONT]

Pantheism[/FONT] : A belief that the universe, with its substances, laws and forces, is an emanation of God. The creator is identified with the creation. All is God and God is all.[/FONT]

Panentheism: A[/FONT] modification of pantheism, insisting that God is the essence of life within creation but is not manifested as creation. All is in God and God is in all.
[/FONT]
Polytheism[/FONT] : A belief in the existence of many gods with each god unique . Gods for personality trait. Gods for many facet of nature.[/FONT]

Theism : A[/FONT] belief in a God that is transcendent, immanent and caring for those in the world. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent in theism. He is perfect, even though evil exists in the world. Being a personal God often intervenes in the affairs of men. The life of creation is a gift of God and not a manifestation of God[/FONT]



Christianity, Islam and Judaism are, monotheistic with some differences. Such as do not subscribe to either pantheism or panentheism.[/FONT]
Sikhism is an exception. It stands for monotheism but with a modified panentheistic stance on creation. All is in God. God is in All. All is God. ---- Ekoooo[/FONT]
<o> </o>
What diverse views. No wonder a Guru is needed.


The Shabad as is in Sikhism, is not seen in other religions (as for as I could find it). For the Sikhs the Shabad Guru individually guides and is ever with everyone.[/FONT]
A thought comes that is Shabad Guru for the Sikhs is same as Personal God for many others. This view requires a thinking.

[Randip Singh]

Some nice points Gur meet hi, glad to see you understood what I was getting at.

 

[Astroboy]

Lets analyse this words meaning:

pārbarahm

input welcome please.

The teachings of most of the saints amongst Hindus and Muslims refer as far as Brahm. Very rarely do we find in them references to Parbrahm. But in SGGS you get Parbrahm everywhere, so to speak. It means beyond Brahm because Brahmand or Brahm Lok is subject to change and destruction. Beyond Brahmand is AmarLok or Parbrahm or Sach Khand.

Let's view the contents of the following shabad:-
