(Before there was any creation, God lived absolutely in Himself, but when he thought of making himself manifest in creation, he became related . In the former case, when he god was self-created, there was none else; he took counsel and advice with Himself ; what he did, came to pass. Then there was no heaven, nor hell, nor three regioned world, there was only the formless one himself; creation was not there.)

Everybody hankers after salvation, Paradise or Elysium, setting their hopes on them every day of their lives.

But those, who live to see God do not ask for Salvation. The sight itself satisfies their mind completely.

When God became or manifest, He became what is called the Naam and in order to realize Himself, He made nature, wherein He seat and is diffused everywhere and in all direction everywhere and in all direction in the form of Love:   Jatara tatra disaa visaa hoe-ph-eilio anuraag.

(Here there everywhere, you are the love prevailing in all direction.)

In presenting this double phase of the supreme Being, the Guru have avoided the pitfalls into which Some people have fallen. with them, god is not an abstract idea or a moral force, but a personal being Capable of being loved and honored and yet he is conceived of as a Being, whose presence is diffused All over his creation. He is common father of all, fashioning worlds and supporting them from inside. But He does not take birth.

He has no incarnations. He himself stands for the creative agencies, like the Maya, the 'world' and Brahma; He Himself is truth, beauty and the eternal yearning Of the heart after goodness, as Guru Nanak says in Japji. in world, the gurus have combined the Aryan idea of immanence with Semitic idea of transcendence, without taking away anything from the unity and the personal character of God:        kaah-ai-r- ai bann Khojan jaaee sarab nivaasee sadaa al-ai- paa Tohee sang (Isamaaee Puhap madh (i) jio (u) bass (u) basat (u) h-ei-Mukar maahe-j-ei-sai chhaee T-ei-s-ai hee Har (i) bas- ai nirantar (i) Ghat hee khojan(u ) bhaaee.

Those, who are conversant with the eastern thoughts, fix upon those passages, which refer to the thoughts of immanence and conclude that Sikhism is nothing but an echo of Hinduism, while those, who are imbued with the Mohammedan or Christian thought, take hold of transcendental passages and identify Sikhism with Islam or Christianity. Others who know both will see here no system, nothing particular nothing but confusion.

If however we were to study Sikhism as an organic growth as an organic growth evolved from the existing systems of thought to meet the need of a newly evolving humanity, we would find no difficulty in recognizing Sikhism as a distinct system of thought.

Take for instance Guru Nanak's Asa ki var, which in its preliminary stanzas, lays down the fundamentals of sikh belief about God, It is a trenchant clear- cut monotheism. God is called the indweller of Nature and is described as filling all things 'by an art that is artless. 

He is not an impotent mechanic, fashioning pre-existing matter into the universe. He does not exclude matter. But transcends it. The universe too is not an illusion. Being rooted in good, who is real, it is a reality ; not a reality final and abiding, but a reality on account of god's presence in it.

(Everything is in Your power Lord; You are the all - powerful creator. Your name is the holiest of the holy. O Nanak, though the command of His Will, He beholds and pervades the creation, He is absolutely unrivaled.)

The first observation about God is that he is indivisibly one above every other being however highly conceived, such as Vishnu Brahma, or Shiva or as Rama and Krishna.

The second observation is that He is the highest moral Being:
