Totally agree.
The prefix syllable Ik, in both the terms refers to the only One, and the only One, true Lord God Creator is Waheguru Akal Purukh.
 
Following is an clarifying and inspiring article by Sukhmandir Kaur, which I found on the net and would like to share with the Sangat.

Ik Onkar is a symbol which appears at the beginning the Sikh scripture and means, "One With Everything". The symbol is written in the Gurmukhi script and has several components. Some references are also spelled out in scripture as to Ek Ankar.
  Ik (or Ek) stands for the Gurmukhi numeral "One". On is a combination or O and An stands for "Everything". Kar is inferred and stands for "Creator". The symbol Ik Onkar communicates the idea of one one creative being, or one God, manifest in all of existence. The creator and creation are one entity, inseparable in the way an ocean is made up of its individual drops, or a tree is composed of its individual components, roots, trunk, bark, branches, leaves, sap and seeds, (cones, fruits, or nuts).   Pronunciation: Ik (i as in lick) (alternately Ek, or aek sounding like the a in lake) O un kaar (aa sounds like the a in car)
Alternate Spellings: Ik Oankar, Ik Oankaar, Ek Onkar, Ek Ankar   Examples "Sabh meh jaano karataa ek ||In all do I recognize that the One Creator is present." SGGS||377 "Safal janam hoaa mil saadhoo ekankaar dhiaaae raam ||Fruitful becomes the life upon meeting with the Saints, and contemplating the One Creator Lord." SGGS||782 "Tiseh bhoojh jin too keeaa prabh karann kaaran ek||1|| rahaao||Realize thou that He who created thee is the One God whom is the cause of all causes." Pause. SGGS||1007 "Eko karataa avar na koe ||There is only One, the Creator, there is no other at all." SGGS||1174 "Khaalik khalak khalak meh khaalik poor rehiou srab taanee ||1|| rehaao||
The Creation is in the Creator, and the Creator is in the Creation, totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause|| SGGS||1349

Putin joke Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior.
So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender:
-Is Crimea ours?
-Yes, it is.
-And the Donbas?
-Also ours.
-And Kyiv?
-We got that too.
Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks:
-Thanks, how much do I owe you?
-5 euros.

She should do one for Bush. That video blunder was timeless. I'm so glad he made a comeback in 2022. 

Found the following interesting article on the Net which I thought of sharing with the Sangat here   By Cosmic Healing. What experiences do yogis sense while meditating after Kundalini awakening? Generally, I don’t discuss this, as most people wouldn’t understand or believe what I say, or they might try to label me as imbalanced or mentally ill (their issue). But, since you asked…
I will tell you the simplest, most basic experience that I have almost every time that I meditate.
Kundalini awakened spontaneously in me 2.5 years ago. For the first year I really couldn’t meditate at all because it was too activating. There was so much energy moving in my body that I had to dance or do yoga in order to get some relief.
Kundalini has since calmed. It is a kinder and gentler experience now, generally not overwhelming (except at times.)
Now when I meditate, in that moment when my mind is first quiet, when I drop into awareness/total presence, I feel (and see) a horizontal expansiveness, a oneness with all there is, a tapping into a collective consciousness. And it always makes me laugh! It’s like the cosmic joke is that I believed for a time (yet again) that I was separate. So when I tap back into the oneness I realize that I was fooled again!
I see this as the never ending 3D to 5D toggle. And I guess I can’t stay in 5D because I have a body. So back and forth I go, and thank goodness, with a laugh. 😂
I don’t know if this is helpful in any way, but this is what I experience 🙏🏼♥️

All practices, that aim in one way or the other, at changing the state of consciousness of one’s being, must eventually be left behind for the natural state of awareness to be recognized.
Contrary to popular belief, enlightenment is not an altered state of consciousness. It is the natural state.
But since most people that start the spiritual journey are still in ego consciousness, they naturally feel that enlightenment must be a continuous state of bliss in consciousness. That is natural, I had the same thinking at first.
That includes the awakening of chakras. It can and must be used along the journey.
But at some point when you arrive in your natural state, these practices will create dreaming instead of helping you become dream-less.
That is because consciousness itself is changing, you cannot except it to be manipulated through an experience. Even the most beautiful God experiences! :)
Instead, find in yourself that which is unchanging.
