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 Him in every planet and person, in animals, oceans, mountains. But we will only be able to see God in all of His 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 gyan, the divine wisdom of enlightenment, they then spoke of that Power in words that became 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 Power 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 "Whatever You are, so too am I."

****

Another person saw that God's Light is everywhere: “You are in Darkness as well as in 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!).

****

Still another saw that Power is infinite, beyond description. He said, "Neti, neti, neti" (beyond, beyond, beyond).

****

Such descriptions from an enlightened state are not contradictory. They are all describing the same Power, 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 in the person who meditates and who is filled with love. Only this person can perceive the Power. First look within yourself, and then you will see God everywhere.
