Guest guest Posted June 13, 2000 Report Share Posted June 13, 2000 Loving God The Practical Teachings of Baba Virsa Singh Ji (via Sikhnet: the Gobind Sadan website) ONE GOD All religions are one. All the Prophets and Messiahs have repeatedly said that there is One God, whom we must love. No Prophet has said that there are two Truths or two Gods. There is One God, and we are to see God in every planet and person, in animals, oceans, mountains. But we will only be able to see God in all of God's Creation when the love of God emerges within us. God is the Power that runs everything. When saints or Prophets have seen or heard this Power through gian, the divine wisdom of enlightenment, then they spoke of the Power in words that have become the divine Names for God. All are referring to the same One. One enlightened person saw that there is One Power giving light to everyone. He said, "Ik Onkar" (You are One). Another saw that Somebody is controlling all the waters-waves, rivers, oceans of water. He called that Controller "Narayan" (the One who is present in water). Another person saw that One Light is giving life to everything. When he looked within himself, he found the same light there. He said, "Sohang" which means "That which You are, the same am I." Another person saw that God's light is everywhere: Darkness is God's Light and light is also God's Light. He referred to this Power as "Gobind" (Remover of darkness and Bringer of light). Another person who saw this Power found it so wondrous that he had no words for it. All he could say was "Wah!"(Wonderful!). When another person saw that the Power is infinite, beyond description, he said, "Neti, neti, neti" (beyond this, beyond this, beyond this). Such descriptions from the light of gian are not contradictory. They are all describing the same thing, whether in Sanskrit, Arabic, Punjabi, Urdu, Latin or English. There are differences in the words, but not in the Being. God is one Light. It comes from the person who meditates and who loves. Only this person can perceive the Power. First look within yourself, and then you will see God everywhere. ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
