Nirgun and Sargun is terminology used within Sikhism to refer to the ineffable (nirgun) and the manifest (sargun) nature of God.[1] There is no dichotomy in the nirgun and sargun nature of God,[2] as there only One (Ik Onkar).[3][4]

"He Himself is formless, and also formed; the One Lord is without attributes, and also with attributes."
