It is not downgrading from the Sikh perspective.  Panentheism says that creation is within the Creator, and the Creator is within the creation but also timelessly extends beyond it.

Here there is common ground between our faiths.  From my point of view, whatever brings you in touch with God and causes you to act from a place of love for God and compassion for creation, is good.

You description is beautiful.   Sikhs don't distance themselves from the world to connect to Ik Onkar, either.
