It would benefit the human race immensely, if we treat God as a phenomena than as an identity. With God being an identity, comes the issue that I know him better than you and my religion is better than yours. We even start speaking on behalf of our friend God. God doesn't like ... And you will not be excepted in god court because you haven't ......
If God truly has all the attributes that Guru Nanak has mentioned in Mool mantra then at least in its first stage of meeting, God is a phenomena. You must meet certain conditions to meet him but these conditions are about your emotional state not religious taboos. How you must feel is very close to the attributes of God described in the mool mantra. We aren't always fearless and without animosity, for example; but while we are in meditation and desire to experience God, we must feel that way.
A lot of people don't feel they are worthy of experiencing God because they don't perceive themselves to be perfect as they have all the undesirable negative emotions for someone at some time. The only thing to remember is not trying to be perfect forever, but just for that one moment, forgive everyone and not think of the negative or positive moments of life. Simply experience Silence and enjoy every breath going in and out. Focus on the present moment. Expect but don't demand, silence will speak to you. True Guru speaks to you in the moment of silence and provides wisdom, not necessarily the logic and explanation of the situation / condition that is being resolved. When you experience true silence, the logical brain is asleep. The moment logical side of the brain wakes up, you will lose touch of the dialogue with silence. So, if you are experiencing a phenomena, don't try to analyse it or it will vanish.
The only problem with experiences like that is that once you get a taste, you want it more and more everyday. Thee comes a time, you start demanding it and that becomes counter- productive as demanding is done by the logical brain that is a hindrance to silence and hence to the phenomena itself.
God places no conditions of dress code or religious bindings as he is not affiliated to any religion. Being too religious and confident of your path can also be a hindrance as it brings the feels of pride in the person. This also removes you from experiencing the moment.
All you need is focus on breath, experience that your dimensions are wider than your physical body and be open to anything happening in that moment while not expecting it.
