520 _aThe Guru Grant Sahib: Its Physics and Metaphysics attempts to trace the unifying force behind the trinity of Sikh metaphysics, aesthetics and dynamics. The book brings to a focus all those energies spiritual, artistic and material-which animate and sanctify the Sikh way of life. Naturally in such a quest the Guru Granth Sahib offers the complete answer. Various aspects of the Guru Granth Sahib-its pontifical status, its philosophy, and its aesthetics-have been dealt with exceptional discernment and originality. A rigorous intellectual discipline is applied to bring out Sikh perspective on Cod, man and human destiny and in the process some of the problems of Sikh theology have been resolved with remarkable assurance and finesse. This study is marked by deep personal faith as well as by penetrating insights of a vital and searching intellect. Though a slim volume, this monograph will nevertheless constitute a well- formulated, lucid and concise statement and will rank as a reliable guide 10 Sikh thought and poetics. In Guninder Kaur, Sikh faith has found a highly accomplished and articulate interpreter or the innermost vision of the Gurus and of the concept of life issuing from it.
