God as personal, creator and Guru

The belief is that special revelations reveal to Sikhs that God:

  • is a personal God
  • communicates with people as individuals and can intervene in their lives if necessary
  • is a person who has relationships with people, but cannot be tied to any particular relationship or gender
You are my father, You are my mother, You are my true relation, You are my brother. You are my protector everywhere. Why should I feel anxiety or live in terror?
Guru Granth Sahib page 103
