I dont know how Anurag Sagar is related to Sikhism, and I do not know how it helped you to understand SGGS ji, Valli veer.
The main reason I requested the link to AS was because I liked how you described free will and everything being under the One Lord Gods hands.
How our small human brain would perceive that it can do whatever it wants, when actually the whole play is being controlled by the creator.
Kal, Alakh Niranjan, Dharam Rai, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma are all bad/evil as per AS...., but the Sants and Brahmgyanis respect all../..forms of vishnu..Krishna, Raam.
Would they not treat them differently if their spiritual knowledge matched with whats written in AS. So...I think it would be better if AS is left aside and Gursikhs spend more time with SGGS ji. I read all the 3 parts of AS, except the Future one....around 250-300 pages....a lot of unanswered conflicting information.
Also Kal, Dharam Rai, as you say is undergoing a fitting punishment by being cast out and still treating the souls so badly, by punishing them and looping them in re incarnation, however, does AKal Purkh not have control over everything. He is the creator of Kal and hence knows and controls Kal itself..."Keeri tul na hovni je tis manoo na veesrai"..then how can any thing at all be out of Maharaj's hukam. I think you agree with me on this.
We just cant have the answers by merely reading some writings. True Love has to be formed with the Lord, like the Sants, Brahmgyanis. All the answers are found then, not before. The truth is revealed. He Himself is revealed by HIS own will. Whenever he chooses for that to happen. Its all Maharaj's Kirpa. He knows what each of his created soul deserves. Which is why we have our Guru Granth Sahib ji to guide us.
Also in the bani it says, Dharam rai/raj also sits at your door and sings your praises.
I have 100 other points that I can bring up from the bani which would not relate to whats written in AS. But I just dont want to get into that, we would be fools arguing, who actually no nothing at all.
I think AS would confuse an average sikh even more, we have all that we need to know in SGGS ji itself, then why look outside.
