JapJi Sahib- A Translation - Prof Teja Singh - Raj Karega Khalsa ...

There are hundreds of thousands of lower or nether worlds, and hundreds ofthousands of skies (one above the other). In vain the searchers have tried to find theirlimit and number, but all have failed to do so. Even the Vedas say that the createduniverse is boundless. The eighteen Purans and the four books (the Torait, the Zend-Avesta, the Bible and the Koran) declare with one voice, that there is but One everlastingReality, the Divine Essence and the whole universe is His manifestation.Were it possible to enumerate and measure His creation, one would attempt to doso, but He is above all this calculation. No human intellect can find the number or thelimit of His boundless Creation.Sayeth Nanak the Creator is above all His creation and He alone can know andrealize it. All that one should do is to sing His praise in complete devotion and ecstasy,and be at-one with Him, leaving aside all these dry and fruitless calculations.His devotees and Bhagats sing His praises and merge themselves with the InfiniteDivine just as the rivers and the streams fall into the ocean and lose themselves in it, butcannot comprehend the greatness of the ocean. In the same way His Bhagats anddevotees, become a part and parcel of the great Divine, but cannot find words to expressHis greatness, just as a drop of water which falls into the ocean, blends itself into it, andbecomes its part and parcel, but cannot describe the greatness of the sea.
