Leisure Why Did God Give Us Personalities If He Has None Himself?

[JimRinX]

Ambarsaria ji
Aaaaaah! But, whether one os a "People of the Book", or not; if one kills the Innocent - or if they even Fail to Love too often - then they'll 'merge their light, with Goids light' alright; right BEFORE God sends them, SCREAMING, right back down "Jacobs Ladder" (a Hebrew Bible - i.e.: The "Book" - reference to Reincarnation, in my humble opnion), to assume their New Incarnation - as a wormy, mongrel DOG!!!
And that's IF their lucky!
The worst part of the process of "judgement"?
SEEING, for the First Time, all of those chances you had to Do Right, Love More, and Eliminate Others Suffering that you BLEW, that's what!!!
I wish all the nut-cases out there would read My Words (snicker)........

 

[Mai Harinder Kaur]

I remember reading somewhere - in a Jewish book, I think: "God is not a friend. God is not an uncle. God is a thunderclap." Metaphor, certainly. I'm really not certain what that means, but I do think of the "Voice of God" during every thunderstorm.

 

[spnadmin]

This is the related view of God from the book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Unknowable, top down, upon whom creation is dependent, and essentially beyond personality, which is a construction of the human mind.

 

[findingmyway]

Anthropomorphism might be a possible answer.

Findingmyway Ji That is a great conceptualisation but rainbow should be colourless otherwise it has been partly created by the persons mind and is water wet when we are not observing it?

What does it matter? In my mind those images are of perfection. That is the point, the images themselves are not important

 

[JimRinX]

Rajeshm and Sinner jios!
Guess what? Your BOTH right - and your BOTH wrong!
God is anything God wants to be!
When you figure that out, and develope the wisdom to be trusted to be that way to, THEN (as my favorite childhhod TV character would say - other than the Monty Python Crew; who I DO understand, BTW), "You will have LEARNED, Grasshopper."
Keep seeking.....tiny vinies.....

 

[JimRinX]

Mai ji
I love you, and the Sikhi, but your TOO PROUD - and that's because of your personal history; as it is a common trait of all persecuted peoples to cling to their Pride of Person and Pride of Belief with great determination.
However, when one returns to the 'post-persecution real world' (like, Canada), one should seek to recognize this fact, and address it.
I know you have Real Concerns regarding what Arundhati Roy calls, "The rising tide of Hindu Fascism....," (both political and cultural) and that the people behind it have PROVEN themselves to be a Real Threat to the Sikh Community......but I could not say that your own reactions are anything other than a MIRROR of theirs!!!
I CAN SAY that God would be happy BOTH sides 'came down off their high horses', and tried to get along once again.
Personally, I'd like to see all parties become Ba'hai - to unite, rather than merge; but that would require ALL OF YOU to surrender your EGOS, now - wouldn't it?
I wonder what the Gurbani has to say about that?!?
I'm sure you're about to TELL ME!
We NEED Peace On Earth - Nuclear Swords - Ugh!!

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Jimi Ji I will give up my ego ,as soon as you do ,it's a stand off ,Grasshopper, and by the way ,you are wrong my brother, he can't be anything ,because of the fact he can't be one thing ,what is the one thing that he can't be ? he can't be wrong brother!

 

[JimRinX]

Sinner ji
I'm sorry (I guess) that my being Honest about my personal experiences with God come across as 'egotistical'.
I ask you, however, to give me the Benefit of the Doubt, and then - putting yourself in MY shoes - WOULD YOU DENY GOD, OR THE 'GIFT' THAT GOD IMPARTED UPON YOU, JUST BECAUSE SOME "SINNER" THINKS YOUR BEING EGOTISTICAL?
Again, placing yourself in MY shoes: Unless you'd have me be Fool enough to IGNORE the fact that I REALLY DID have a white streak 'appear, as if by "magic"' in my hair, after 'communing' with God - well....I didn't think so!
I came here to share......take it, or leave it; just remember what I just said - or I'll be the one in trouble for having "denied God".

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Jimi Ji If you have no ego that is great, I think because I have so much ,that everyone else might! anyway it is my way to take the opposite position, but you won't be in trouble,you have not denied him brother. In our religion we just take white streaks to be the reminders of our mortality.I love you Jimi ,I'm not any sinner I'm your sinner!

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

What does it matter? In my mind those images are of perfection. That is the point, the images themselves are not important

Way ji In that case just imagine your Self ,as you are potentially perfect.

The creator has personality made up of the following

~ 6.99 Billion unique human beings on Earth at last count
​

(http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/)
~ 8.4 million species of life on earth and you can take humans out and that would leave approximately. 8,399,999 species of life on earth
~ Number of personality generating locations and entities beyond earth is "unknown"
​

Note: Number of individual personalities within each species is unknown also

So final count and Bottomline: I put all these into a supercomputer and I get a very very large unknown number for Earth alone. So then you look at the Cosmos/creation, I get more befuddled.

So brothers and sisters, God/creator has a personality but we are too stupid and limited to understand and we might as well call it as having no personality. I checked there were approximately 26 unique personalities ( some have one personality, some have no personality and some have multiple personalities :interestedmunda::interestedmunda in this thread so far. So let us call it a day and say, 26 unique personalities. So these 26 people are fighting/aggressively posting over the total count of personalities in creation to constitute a creator's personality. Chances of doing so are pretty much zero as predicted in the first line of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji as infinity is associated with the creator. So for Sikh brother and sisters, you have not really understood well the first line in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji peacesign. For others, go to your belief/science/no-belief system and do some math and come back.
Sat Sri Akal.

Q : Why did God give us personalities if He has none Himself?
A : So he could live through us
This is what is meant by "God/creator having presence in each one of us". Is it too complex to comprehend that people search outside and not inside first?

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Harry Veer Ji The musketeer might have over calculated, as we all know some people in the world don't have a personality at all and some have disorders which means they have more than one,but seriously I feel 'He' is much greater than the sum of the parts of one Cosmos, perhaps that is just one reality among many or if 'he' has a sense of humor perhaps he would let somebody add up one Cosmos and then create another just for fun.

 

[Ambarsaria]

Harry Veer Ji The musketeer might have over calculated as we well know some people don't have a personality at all

sinner veer I could not calculate as I have to multiply some known numbers with potentially very large unknowns. You normally don't miss this kind of detail.

I don't want to be judgmental to say some had no personality among the approximately 26 in this thread. I sincerely believe in everyone being unique and consider that a good thing.

[gursikhi.jeevan]

God is the supreme being. He is the one who has given us our identity and personality. He is our reason for existance. If the question arises how can we connect to him, if he has no personality then my answer would be; the creator of all being does not need a personality. God has not one but many different aspects. God is loving, caring, kind, angry, giving, etc; these are also characteristics of personalities. We personally as individuals have to connect to God by ourself. When we connect to God our personality does not have anything to do with it. We connect to God through Shabad. Personality is work of the world and things we learn from living in it. Connection with God is acquired from within us.

Except in Sikhi, we do not see the One as angry. Ever. This is part of the meaning of Nirvair, isn't it?

 

[Kanwaljit.Singh]

You are angry when your expectations are not met. God has no expectations. And anyway everything happens under His Order.

 

[Ambarsaria]

Mai Harinder Kaur ji one comment,

Except in Sikhi, we do not see the One as angry. Ever. This is part of the meaning of Nirvair, isn't it?

I believe "Nirvair" stands for "without animosity"

I stand corrected by more learned ones though.
