Need help answering a Christian's Questions on the nature of Waheguru in Sikhi

[singh598]

Ego arises due to ignorance agyaan of our true nature and is created by Maya to keep the human being within the 3 modes.  Maya constantly keeps the human alternating within them its only in the fourth state does ego die.

In ignorance of reality the human being mistakes the rope for a snake and so is unhappy and scared.  When the light of knowledge dawns he realizes that it was his own ignorance of the truth 

Eh sareer sab Maya Ka putla

Right, from one point of view, there is only Parmatma. From Rehras:

Thanks for your feedback. But i do like to stress this is just NOT one point of view, this is absolute truth point of view listed in gurbani which we supposed to be stressed and striving for. Unfortunately, ego doesn't like it to give out ownership back where it belongs -actual doer Vahiguru as it threatens its existence, so ego will try all kind of defense coping mechanism and held on to relative realities.

On the question of doership maharaj responds:

Ang-278

ਜਬ ਇਹ ਜਾਨੈ ਮੈ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਤਾ ॥
जब इह जानै मै किछु करता ॥
Jab ih jānai mai kicẖẖ karṯā.
As long as this mortal thinks that he is the one who does things,

ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਫਿਰਤਾ ॥
तब लगु गरभ जोनि महि फिरता ॥
Ŧab lag garabẖ jon mėh firṯā.
he shall wander in reincarnation through the womb.

This is key Guru Maharaj updesh, as long as mortal thinks he/she is doer that causes further fragmentation/identification with separate I-personal ego I and separate desires and actions of personal I that further ensues karma be it good and bad that determines next birth, current life situations/birth.

 

This from Sant Jagjit Singh Harkhowale katha:

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Raag means-individualistic love/attachment/desires with ego, Dvaish- partiality/dualistic mind

 

From Avidya(ignorance that this jiv is separate) everything is born.

 

Here is the cycle-

 

From Avidya (ignorance this jiv is seperate) - ego is born.

 

From ahankar (ego) doership is born then- raag and dvaish is born

 

From Raag and Dvaish- karams are born

 

And from Karam, this individual jev(person) goes through cycle rebirth/reincarnation of seperations from Vahiguroo.

 

 

Here is Same cycle shown reversed in order to go back to our real self-

 

 

If one does not wish to have sorrow in future, have a genuine desire not be born seperated again from Vahiguroo.

 

If you have desire not be born seperated again from Vahiguroo, don't do karams with your individualistic mind affected with ego.

 

In order not to do karams with your individualistic mind- don't do raag dvaish.

 

In order not to do raag dvaish- rise above from egoistic mind.

 

In order not to have egoistic mind- learn internal bibek with buddhi(intellect). Buddhi(intellect-pure cognitve perception) other end is atma

 

In order to have true internal bibek, use bhramgyan(knowledge of real self) to destroy avidya.
