Holy Spirit

CRITICAL: never ਬ੍ਰਹਮ (the Hindu Absolute). Also distinguish carefully from ਜੋਤ, the Sikh doctrine of a single divine light/spirit passed sequentially through the Ten Gurus into the Guru Granth Sahib as its permanent, living Guru — a real structural parallel to a personal indwelling Spirit that must not be collapsed into it. ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਆਤਮਾ is the personal Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, indwelling every believer directly.
