The Unity

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful:
[112:1]
Say: ?He is God, One.

[112:2]
God, the Self-Sufficient, Besought of all.

[112:3]
He neither begot, nor was begotten.

[112:4]
Nor is there anyone equal to Him?.

You may not acknowledge God inside of you because you are being influenced by evil.
God's holy spirit dwells inside of most. I do think there is a possibility that some are actually born from the demons. I hope that God gives them a chance after death.
In order to realize him. You must pray to him through Jesus Christ. Tell him that you want him to come into your life. Humble yourself as a little child before your father.
Ask him to help you to find the right path and to walk with you on it. If you truly want these things and want God in your life and to light a spark in your soul...then he will if you ask.

from what i understand Sikhism is non-anthropomorphic concept of God. To see God as the Universe itself seems the principle idea. so his "presence" would not have a feeling other than what you already feel. happiness, joy, sorrow, anger etc.

God is a lie. Since no one is answering this, I thought I should break the ice. you can't feel it because it is nothing, Nada, nonexistent.

There is no feeling as "god" cannot be "achieved". There's no god inside us, its just organs and bones.

He is not the source of anything.

Sorry if you are offended, but this is the truth.

The Absolute Truth, Wisdom is God, The Sri Guru Granth Sahib. All familial relations are representative of the many aspects of the union with the Universal, Omniscient and All Knowing, Omnipotent and All Powerful, Omnipresent and All pervading Light and Spiritual Life force that is considered God. Where wisdom, hon our and love abides within the heart and mind, there is found the truth and spirit of God. The WaheGuru of Supreme Spirit is this universal embodiment of all power, virtue, love and light. The task of mortals is to attain and sustain intellectual, spiritual and physical purity within the body temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell within. Life is a journey of learning, of uniting one?s mind, will and spirit as one, of honoring family responsibilities, upholding the Sacred name of Sikhism and Its Creator thereby, and communing respectfully with society and family alike. When the mind and spirit gain thus heightened and purified state of mind all appear as one and the children of the Supreme and Holy Spirit. It bases its philosophy upon ancient truth principally that the conquering of a wandering and impetuous will towards control and governance of the mind and therefore body and spirit is the ultimate salvation. God is Absolute Truth, The Purest Love and Powerful Light. The ten Gurus?s and messengers of the Supreme and Holy Spirit?s words underwent trials and loss in their quest to bring truth and enlightenment to Sikhs and are greatly honored for doing so as the embodiment of Gods. True seeks look upon the sacred bond of parent and child, and spousal union as similar to the interaction with the world and its Creator. All such unions be they earthly and mortal or spiritual are based upon fundamental principles of understanding, sensitivity and peace of mind availing sense and rationale in all areas of life. Honour and a defined morality are an intrinsic part of Sikh Punjabi tradition. Spiritual awakening is a blessing of they fortunate whilst living a good and virtuous life in honoring ones liaisons is the path t o liberation for householder Sikhs. To realize the essence of The Supreme Spirit one must be dedicated and pure in understanding to a life of pious living. Some are descended from generations of Lordship and are therefore naturally imbued whilst others strive lifelong paths in gaining the sacred light of his blessing. The human mind is a phenomenal and powerful spiritual force. Whether you discern a quantitative good in the world or evil is depend ant not only upon the reality of your environment but your intellectual level of perception enhanced or hindered by a negative or positive view. A personal interpretation of faith in a belief at a given time and juncture and stage of spiritual progression in the lives of Sikhs. Sikhs look upon the Holy Scriptures as a living word, interpreted by the measure of intellectual integrity, moral mettle and purity of spirit, the word of The Truth, as malleable as the scholars mindset and frame of thinking. What is evident to the elders is not so to the seeker of truth. Acknowledgment of this truth, that word is as powerful or in concise as the readers intuitive perception and intellect permits gives scope for constant ongoing personal growth. Starts from ??I know nothing?? to ??I Am as One with The Lord??. A sentiment spoken to the inner conscience than outwardly. In Sikhism evil is something to be conquered and gotten rid of and although in some passages it appears to the narrator as a complicit act of ??God?? {Dat kare Dataar} True asceticism recognises The Supreme Holy Spirit as the purest form of humanity impervious and opposing to any barbaric acts of evil upon what are malleable and weak minded humans. This line of thinking requires a recognition of the subversives causing the advent and proliferation of evil in the individual, a task many are not prepared to confront or resolve. Thus with a few the ??goddidit?? all encompassing write and buck pass absolves the claimants of any due responsibility of eliminating evil. It is these sinful and weak minded, duplicitous, or angry individuals who decry the absence and lack of evidence of ??god?? without understanding of what factors lead to this pessimistic state of mind and thinking. The problem with acknowledging evil is by its association and proximity, when attaching itself to the good or gods gains credence and divinity at the expense and demise of the gods. Hence many god destroyers are worshipped by a people desperate for any sign of a god or higher power. This association has ensures many gods suffered horrendous ordeals and were destroyed for the sins and vices attached to their shirt tails. Speaking of this enlightenment and grace tracts demons seeking to surreptitiously plunder this grace and wealth from a loved and precious spirit of The Lord. Hence Silence is Golden. Sense what ensures when an innocent with great wisdom is cast into the den of rakshas?s, of the iniquitious and cunning. Many are saved and find light whilst the enlightened is depleted of their spiritual resource, sanity and sustenance and often demarcated by devilry means for good measure! Silence is Golden. The tormentors are all too adept at loosing the tongue of wisdom and forcing preaching in their whores den of thieves and media rodents. Hell was created by their own hands for a reason. The worms spawned from the dung of devils as stated in the holy book. The sorcerers and witches, users of devilry will be brought to answer and destroyed for their sins ? quran/torah. Suffer not a witch to live ? bible. Sikhs do not generally solicit or convert others to their faith, although there exists many Sikh converts throughout the world, each with their individual and stylised concept of what they understand to be ??god??. Ones ??God?? is as great, as supreme, noble, honourable, moral and as ineffectual as ones parents are, reliant upon the authority they are able to wield over their offspring. Reading of an individual?s notion of God is greater a reflection of their own integrity or remiss than of the actuality of The Supreme Spirit. A persons ??god?? can be no greater than the limits and bounds of their own imaginations, fenced by their own weakness and frailty. Thus is the delicate nature of what mortal observes and defines as ??god?. Sikhism is a philosophy written to charter a path for Sikhs towards spiritual liberation and peaceful living.

Witches, heathens, feminist sand demonic things, what are termed as rakshas's. it is foolhardy to take ones faith and ??god?? to this brutal market place where the sinful and arrogant in their transgressions destroy faith and belief of many good travellers to this forum. Thou shalt not take our precious WaheGuru and his highly complex or perfectly simple truth{according to individual brain cell density}to the market place. There exist many Sikhs forums where you may exchange views and learn of this faith, if truth is what you seek....

WHAT IS GOD?
According to Sikhism God is the supreme power who has created all this world and who abides in all our hearts.In the very beginning of Guru Grath Sahib is the Mool Mantra that is the definition of God.

One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace ~

WHY CAN'T WE REALIZE HIS PRESENCE IN US:

Sir this is because of our Karma's of various incarnations, those have camouflaged our spirit, creating a wall in between we and God.

The filth of countless incarnations sticks to this mind; it has become pitch black. {Guru Amar Daas Ji Raag Sorath 651}

WHERE AND WHY ANXIETY COMES FROM:

If the God is the source of bliss then He has created Maya also, who always misguides us (creates the duality in mind), with her platoon of evil forces of all types of desires including sex, anger, greediness emotional attachments with world and egotism.

This fascinating Maya was created by the One who has administered this potion.{Guru Amar Daas Ji Raag Raamkalee 918}

Within this body dwell the five thieves: sexual desire, anger, greed, emotional attachment and egotism.
They plunder the Nectar, but the self-willed manmukh does not realize it; no one hears his complaint.
The world is blind, and its dealings are blind as well; without the Guru, there is only pitch darkness. ||2|| {rag sorath, 3rd Guru page 600}

HOW WE CAN REALIZE HIM IN US?

For that we have to be Gurmukh, to live as per the will of true Guru. Recite the literature of True Guru (Guru Granth Sahib), Chant the name of God bestowed by true Guru, associate the company of Holy and meditate on name of God. With this He will be revealed on you.

In each and every heart, the Lord is hidden; He creates and watches over all. He reveals Himself in the humble, Saintly Gurmukhs.
{Guru Nanak Dev Ji Raag Basant 1171}

WHAT IS FEELING OF ACHIEVING GOD:

That can not be described in words, one who enjoys can only gesture like a dumb person does on having a sweet dish.

Says Nanak, the Saints savor this sublime essence, like the mute, who tastes the sweet candy, but only smiles. ||2||1||20||
{Guru Arjan Dev Ji Raag Kaanraa 1302}
