We have established a CONCEPT OF GOD in GURBAANI and this concept is related to the pronunciation of the very first SYMBOL in SGGS Ji as IK ONKAAR and we tell that GOD IS ONE. If we carefully read Gurbaani and deliberate on the Gurbaani words then we would find that there is no such concept in Gurbaani. No where Gurbaani is referring to the word ONKAAR as GOD. Referring ONKAAR as GOD is our own assumption and we have never tried to verify as to whether Gurbaani is telling us so or not.
In Gurbaani we find that nowhere ONKAAR has been refered as ONE. What has been referred in Gurbaani as IKu is some other word which we have never paid attention so far and that word is EKANKAAR. This is clear from a Quote from SUKHMANI SAHIB Ji as:
"KAEE BAAR PASREO PAASAAR, SADAA SADAA IKu EKANKAAR"
If we look at the grammar of the word GOD we find that the word GOD is SINGULAR {Male gender}, therefore this can not be used to refer the word ONKAAR which is gramatically PLURAL.
We can notice that all the NOUN/ADJECTIVE words in Gurbaani are classified as SINGULAR or PLURAL and this has been indicated by a Matra AUKAND {a single line } under the last letter of any NOUN/ADJECTIVE words of Gurbaani. Accordingly the word ONKAAR is PLURAL. Its SINGULAR is the word ONKAARu. It is thus clear from above consideration that the use of word GOD as reference to any Gurbaani NOUN /ADJECTIVE is incorrect. Here it may please be noted that we are not against the word GOD. This is a very good word but its use in Gurbaani interpretation is a matter of concern.
