112 harmony with the world without being in harmony with God, nor is withdrawal from the world an answer. The path of love is the answer both to be in harmony with the world and in tune with Him, who is all love. It is in the above context that we understand the integrated logic and unity of the Sikh thesis and the lives of the Sikh Gurus whose basic religious experience was that God is Love. We close this essay with the words of Guru Gobind Singh about the unity of the Sikh doctrine: “The holy Nanak was revered as Angad, Angad was recognized as Amardas, And Amardas became Ramdas, The pious saw this, but not the fools, Who thought them all distinct; But some rare person recognized that they were all one. They who understood this obtained perfection Without understanding perfection cannot be obtained. “ 67 REFERENCES 1 Guru Granth Sahib, p. 722 2 ibid, p. 459 3 ibid, p. 1412 4 Swayias Patshahi Das 5 Stace, W.T. : Mysticism and Philosophy, pp. 131; 133 6 James, W. : The Varieties of Religious Experience. pp. 370-372 7 Guru Granth Sahib, pp. 290, 1035-6 8 ibid, p. 294 9 ibid, p. 463 10 ibid, p. 930 11 ibid, p. 830 12 ibid, p. 828 13 ibid, p. 468 14 ibid, p. 418 15 ibid, p. 955 16 ibid, pp. 343-347
