Concept of Universal Creator
There is only one Creator of every thing, seen or unseen. This Creator is very different from an
ordinary creator of a statue, a painting, a building etc. In the case of an ordinary creator, the creation
and creator always remain different and separate from his/her creation. Where as the Universal
Creator is part of the creation.

This briefly means that the Creator is manifested inside every type of creation, stone, plant, animals,
birds, human, microbes, etc. HE first created the whole creation and then hid HIMSELF inside HIS
own Creation. Thus HE is watching every thing and is in complete state of blissfulness. There no
concept of HE different and separate from me in Sikhism. There is no concept of GOD OUT THERE
some where in Sikh system of thought. In this model, there is no one out there to pray to. All prayers
are to the Creator hidden inside the self. And the only valid prayer is to seek the experiential
awareness of this phenomenon rather than just an intellectual concept. Once understood, this
concept will free every one from all kinds of exploitations by the outsiders. The preacher who is
interested in maintaining his/her control over the practitioner will always fight against this thought
process. He wants you to come to him for praying to Creator on your behalf and charge you for his
services. Only two types of people are vested in continuing the thought process of a Creator
separate from the creation, preacher and politician. Sikhism alerts the humanity about the intentions
of both of these groups in all religions of the world.
But what do you say to those who say HE/SHE/IT is a figment of imagination, and not a reality?

In brief, as the fragrance of a flower is hidden inside but no one questions its existence even though it
can not be seen or touched. Out of the five senses, only one sense has some idea yet its existence
is completely acceptable to every one. On the other hand a reflection in a mirror has no existence,
yet every one accepts it as a reality. It is interesting to note that all senses are subject to mistakes.
Eyes can mistake a rope for a snake in darkness, nose can miss the fragrance when stuffed, ear can
hear some thing totally irrelevant and remain convinced of its authenticity, and skin can completely
misjudge the temperature under certain circumstances. Yet we insist that one must experience the
Creative Energy with these senses. (How naive?) The Creative Energy is all pervasive like the
fragrance and like the reflection. Even though HE/SHE/IT exists inside and outside, the egotistical
mind set can not and will not be able to pull him/her self out of the ditch of confusion. This disbelief
does not have any impact on HIS/HER/ITS existence. IT is so and Sikhism does not waiver about
this reality.
