what does gurbani say about the creation of the world. any bani in particular

Veer ji,

Take a look at the following video:

However, may I also suggest another thing to you brother - don't get too hung up with science and Gurbani. Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj was not meant to be a science textbook. With that being said, there are indeed many things in Gurbani that coincide with scientific facts.

But ultimately, the primary aim of Maharaj is to provide us with the knowledge to unite our souls with the Divine (Waheguru). It is pure spiritual bliss that is contained within Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji Maharaj.

Two words Big Bang Theory.. exactly what our guru sahibs mentioned in guru granth sahib ji waaaaaaay before world came to know thru scientists. Read about bing bang theory and it is exactly what i think sikhs knew couple of hundred of years ago when some part of the world was claiming that earth is flat

In my simple language.. Gurbani says that universe was created and destroyed several times. Stars like our sun have a lifespan and in one day hundreds or thousands of stars die. Earth's life depends on the life of the sun etc... so it is like dominio effect.. One thing fall, everything falls behind him. So conclusion is that earth was destroyed and re-created hundreds time before we took janam in this world

Wjkk Wjkf Jeo,

I can only think of the following Japji Sahib's Pauri :

ਕਵਣੁ ਸੁ ਵੇਲਾ ਵਖਤੁ ਕਵਣੁ ਕਵਣ ਥਿਤਿ ਕਵਣੁ ਵਾਰੁ ॥

kavan s vaelaa vakhath kavan kavan thhith kavan vaar ||

What was that time, and what was that moment? What was that day, and what was that date?

ਕਵਣਿ ਸਿ ਰੁਤੀ ਮਾਹੁ ਕਵਣੁ ਜਿਤੁ ਹੋਆ ਆਕਾਰੁ ॥

kavan s ruthee maahu kavan jith hoaa aakaar ||

What was that season, and what was that month, when the Universe was created?

ਵੇਲ ਨ ਪਾਈਆ ਪੰਡਤੀ ਜਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਲੇਖੁ ਪੁਰਾਣੁ ॥

vael n paaeeaa panddathee j hovai laekh puraan ||

The Pandits, the religious scholars, cannot find that time, even if it is written in the Puraanas.

ਵਖਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਓ ਕਾਦੀਆ ਜਿ ਲਿਖਨਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਕੁਰਾਣੁ ॥

vakhath n paaeiou kaadheeaa j likhan laekh kuraan ||

That time is not known to the Qazis, who study the Koran.

ਥਿਤਿ ਵਾਰੁ ਨਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਜਾਣੈ ਰੁਤਿ ਮਾਹੁ ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ॥

thhith vaar naa jogee jaanai ruth maahu naa koee ||

The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season.

ਜਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਿਰਠੀ ਕਉ ਸਾਜੇ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ॥

jaa karathaa sirathee ko saajae aapae jaanai soee ||

The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows.

Also, this reminds me, Maskeen Sahib elaborated on this, so pasting that here:

... If new years starts with a new day, then consider the day the first day was created. That means, there was a time when there was no day at all, nor was the concept of time. So what exactly was it then? Gurbani says, there was just fog everywhere:

ਅਰਬਦ ਨਰਬਦ ਧੁੰਧੂਕਾਰਾ ॥

arabadh narabadh dhhundhhookaaraa ||

For endless eons, there was only utter darkness.

ਧਰਣਿ ਨ ਗਗਨਾ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥

dhharan n gaganaa hukam apaaraa ||

There was no earth or sky; there was only the infinite Command of His Hukam.

ਨਾ ਦਿਨੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਨ ਚੰਦੁ ਨ ਸੂਰਜੁ ਸੁੰਨ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਲਗਾਇਦਾ ॥੧॥

naa dhin rain n chandh n sooraj sunn samaadhh lagaaeidhaa ||1||

There was no day or night, no moon or sun; God sat in primal, profound Samaadhi. ||1|| (Ang. 1035, SGGS Ji)

Maskeen Ji says it is because of lack of words that he has to say 'time' here, otherwise it was not time either because time starts with day and night. How do we measure time? The smallest unit of measuring time is one 'Nimakh', one second. One second, one nimakh, is equal to one breath, nothing more. This small unit of time. a nimakh, a breath, and then we have the biggest unit of time, a year. We dont have any unit that we can use to count time beyond one year.

Similarly, the smallest unit for measuring weight is a 'Ratti', x amount of Rattis equals to one 'Maasa', x amounts of maasa equals one 'Tola', x amounts of toleh equals one 'Payiyaa', x amounts of paayiya equals one 'Ser', and x amounts of Sers equals one 'Mann' (quintal). The smallest unit for measuring weight was a Ratti and the biggest unit for measuring weight was Mann. Maskeen ji describes a plant (a bel) in regions of Jammu and Kashmir that clings on to trees and each bel produces thousands of Rattis, the word 'Ratti' literally means 'red coloured'. Each ratti has got the same weight. If we look at other fruits, nowhere will be find fruits with identical weights, identical colour, identical taste, etc. A ratti, however, is identical to other rattis, weighs the same, has the same colour, has the same shape and all of them have the same taste - they are all bitter. Because of this identical nature of all the rattis, it became a unit of measurement in old times.

Now, Maskeen Ji goes back to talking about the concept of time. He says, since there was no human life form on this earth back then, there was no breath (smallest unit of time) and as such, there was no concept of time. If we can remember the time when time was born with the birth of the first day, THAT time is THE new day, THE new year. But what was THAT day and THAT time? Guru Nanak Dev ji explains:

ਥਿਤਿ ਵਾਰੁ ਨਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਜਾਣੈ ਰੁਤਿ ਮਾਹੁ ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ॥

thhith vaar naa jogee jaanai ruth maahu naa koee ||

The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season.

ਜਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਿਰਠੀ ਕਉ ਸਾਜੇ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ॥

jaa karathaa sirathee ko saajae aapae jaanai soee ||

The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows. (Ang 4, SGGS Ji)
