GOD’S OWN IMAGE
You will often find people saying that Man has been created in God’s own image.
Nowadays, in the materialistic world that we live in, this is often taken in the literal sense as a physical likeness or form. However, we really need to think of this concept on the metaphysical level.
The image of God is the eternal energy that we all have embedded deep within us. This is the likeness of God and indeed a part of God.
When we manage to destroy our own ego’s and awaken the Naam (mantra) energy within, we will then automatically exude all the qualities of God and indeed become an image of God.
We can only get to this stage by truly connecting with the Naam meditation24/7. We will then see only the light of God everywhere we look and only feel one’s presence in the whole universe.
Guru Teg Bahadur Jee in their Saloks, that appear at the end of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, offers us the following teachings to summarise this concept.
Jo Praanee Nis Dhin Bhajai Roop Raam Thih Jaan ||
That mortal who meditates and vibrates upon the Lord night and day - know him to be the embodiment of the Lord.
Har Jan Har Anthar Nehee Naanak Saachee Maan ||29||
There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true. ||29||
Vaheguroo!
