Ik Oankaar. Why Does It Look Like It Does?

[TheFancyBanana]

Why is it written ੴ?

Is the numeral Ik used because you can't mistranslate it? It is simply 1. Guru Nanak is telling us everything is one.

Why does the oora have a long hora like shape on? Why isn't the rest of oankaar written?

It is not simply one.It means the sword bhagouti etc.In the beginning was the sword.The Sri sahib is waheguru.

I might be wrong but I think that's what it means.

The 3 lines in the Om represent the 3 dieties. Brahma Vishnu and Shivji but Ik Oankaar is the doer of those 3. He is giving them light to operate. The kaar on top of represents this. Hes the doer.

He looks like light. Parkaash all over.

the "kaar" is the sign of "infinity" too
