Satpa(n)th is the representation of Sat (Truth), just as the Supreme Name of Allah, the Ism al-a‘ẓam, embodies the Sat (Truth) and is therefore, referred to by Pir Shams in his Brahm Prakāsh, Sat Shabd (True Word). Above all, the Ginans make a lavish use of the term Sat in conjunction with Gur, i.e. Satgur, which demonstrates that, as the Epitome of the Eternal Truth, the Satguru is able to lead one to the Sat (Truth) – hence, the appellation Satguru, that is, the True Guide, Teacher of Truth,…

I desire an outstanding job because I want an everyday experience of preforming to the best of my abilities. If everyday of that job were the same, I would no longer be challenged to achieve the best work everyday because I would preform the same work everyday. The same goes for my want of a loving family. I look forward to the opportunity to care for and provide for my family each day the absolute best that I can but doing the same tasks each day would quickly grow boring and unchallenging. My…

feels that by devoting life to god, one will get the most out of existence. Rather than living for oneself, the aesthete, or even living for others, the ethical, one must devote fully to god.

Many modern educational philosophies consistently reject the absolute truths of the traditional philosophic teachings of Plato and Aristotle. Thus, these modern philosophies believe that truth is relative and based on the changing opinions of the masses (pragmatism) or the perspectives of each individual (existentialism).

All living beings have concerns in life such as whether or not they have enough money for gas to get back and forth to work until the next paycheck, or if the power will get shut off due to lack of payment.

faith was of a magnitude that he wrapped his mind at least partially around the divine Warrior and Enemy also being the perfect divine Advocate and Intercessor. This was one more step in peeling back the layers of Job’s faith. His unshakeable confidence in God’s absolute sovereignty undergirded each succeeding declaration in its context. For the past three chapters, Job’s thinking was in the judicial framework. He was about to add another dimension. Sidebar - Is this the end of the discussion?…
