Note: - In this translation the sampardai renderings of the Gurbani, have been followed. No attempt hasbeen made to stretch the text and give different renderings. Saint Attar Singh Ji Maharaj oncesaid, “The simplest and direct meanings are Guru Nanak’s, as He came to show a clear cut path tomankind, groping in darkness; and not to show his grandiose learning by quibbling on words.”
There is but One all embracing and all-powerful Divinity, Who manifests Himselffirst in the shape of the sacred word, and then through the whole created Universe.He is the One-in-All and the All-in-One. He is the Eternal Reality, and His nameSatnam is also Eternal. He is the Creator, and has the power of independent self-creation.He permeates the whole creation. He is the only male element in the Universe and allelse is female. He is above all fear, and is free from all thoughts of enmity. He isimmortal, free from birth and rebirth, and can be realized in every created thing.He is self-existent. The whole universe is dependent for its existence on Him buthe is self-existent; the Generator of all, without any one to generate Him.He can be realized through the grace of the Guru: - The Teacher who is Godconscious, and sees Him both within and without.Note: - All the ten Gurus blessed men and women with the gift of the Divine name. Those who realizedthe Divine within were called Gurmukhs and were given the right of showing the path ofrealization to seekers after Truth; through meditation on the Divine name.Nanak begs the dust of the feet of that Gurmukh who himself meditates on the Divine name, andshows other the path of so doing.Guru Gobind Singh says, “He who has realized the Divine within is the True Khalsa. He is at-onewith God and myself.”Then O Sikh, the searcher after Truth; meditate on His name, who was real andself-existent before all creation, who was real through all ages (Yugas); who is real andtrue now, and shall be true and self-existent for all times to come.
