Abstract
In the Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, there are several lines which indicate that the individual should bet on God and not gamble on the World. The purpose of this article is to examine this unexplored metaphor in the sacred text itself. To do this, the article will turn to Western philosophy to help us better understand the mechanics of betting on God. In particular, this article will examine Pascal’s wager to assist an analysis of the bet and gamble in the Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Furthermore, William Wood’s examination of the wager as a form of artful rhetoric will also be applied to the study of the bet and gamble in the Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. Ultimately, this article intends to show that the thoughts of Pascal, and the selected subsequent scholarship, can facilitate a deeper understanding of belief and faith in the Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji.
