Gurmat In Vaars - Creation - Part 2

[Bijla Singh]

Vaar 1 Pauri 4

ਓਅੰਕਾਰੁ ਆਕਾਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਏਕ ਕਵਾਉ ਪਸਾਉ ਪਸਾਰਾ॥

All pervading Oankar through His One Word created the whole expansive cosmos.

ਪੰਜ ਤਤ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਕਰਿ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਰਾ॥

Through the five elements, as the quintessence He permeated in the three worlds and their denominations.

ਕਾਦਰੁ ਕਿਨੇ ਨ ਲਖਿਆ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੀਆ ਅਵਤਾਰਾ॥

That creator could not be seen by anyone, who to expand Himself created the infinite nature (prakrti).

ਇਕ ਦੂ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਲਖ ਕਰਿ ਲਖ ਬਿਅੰਤ ਅਸੰਖ ਅਪਾਰਾ॥

He made myriad forms of nature.

ਰੋਮਿ ਰੋਮਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਰਖਿਓਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡਿ ਕਰੋੜਿ ਸੁਮਾਰਾ॥

In each one of his hair he gathered up millions of worlds.

ਇਕਸਿ ਇਕਸਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਦਸਿ ਦਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਉਤਾਰਾ॥

And then in each universe He created ten avtars (Hindu mythology).

ਕੇਤੇ ਬੇਦਿ ਬਿਆਸਿ ਕਰਿ ਕਈ ਕਤੇਬ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਯਾਰਾ॥

He has created many a dear personalities such as Vedavyas and Muhammad dear to the Vedas and the Katebas respectively.

ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਇਕੁ ਏਤਾ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥4॥

How wonderfully the one nature has been expanded into many.(4)

Some Veechar

1) First line says that from one word of Waheguru everything was created. This means that no Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv played any role in creating the creation. Gurbani also says ਕੀਤਾ ਪਸਾਉ ਏਕੋ ਕਵਾਉ ॥

2) Lines 3 and 4 state that Waheguru is limitless and no one can determine how big and vast He is. If one was to ask how big is the creator? In line 5 Bhai Sahib says imagine size of millions of universes and make that equal to one small hair on the body. That is how big the creator is. In other words, His size is infinity because He is beyond His creation and always greater.

3) Lines 6 and 7 explain that in each universe He created ten avtars (according to Hindu belief there are 10 main incarnations of God one of which is yet to come named Kalki). He also created many Viaysa and Mohammad (prophet of Muslims). This is vastness of His creation. It also proves that avtars and prophets are merely part of His creation just like humans, animals, plants etc. Prophets and avtars are not Waheguru. This is why in Dasam Granth and Gurbani Guru Sahib says many are avtars of Krishna, Shiva, Rama and Bishan and at the end all were killed by Kaal (death). Only Waheguru is the permanent power and Sikhs worship Him alone.

ਕੇਤੇ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਵੈਸੰਤਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕਾਨ ਮਹੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਬਰਮੇ ਘਾੜਤਿ ਘੜੀਅਹਿ ਰੂਪ ਰੰਗ ਕੇ ਵੇਸ ॥

ਕੇਤੀਆ ਕਰਮ ਭੂਮੀ ਮੇਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਧੂ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਇੰਦ ਚੰਦ ਸੂਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਮੰਡਲ ਦੇਸ ॥

ਕੇਤੇ ਸਿਧ ਬੁਧ ਨਾਥ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਦੇਵੀ ਵੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਦੇਵ ਦਾਨਵ ਮੁਨਿ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਰਤਨ ਸਮੁੰਦ ॥ (ਜਪੁਜੀ)

ਕਈ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਬਿਸਨ ਬਿਚਾਰ । ਕਈ ਰਾਮ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਰਸੂਲ । ਬਿਨ ਭਗਤਿ ਕੋ ਨ ਕਬੂਲ । 8।…ਕਈ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਬਿਸਨ ਅਵਤਾਰ ।9।…ਕਈ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਛੁਦ੍ਰ ਸਰੂਪ । ਕਈ ਰਾਮ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਅਨੂਪ ।10।…ਏਕ ਸਿਵ ਭਏ ਏਕ ਗਏ ਏਕ ਫਿਰ ਭਏ ਰਾਮਚੰਦ੍ਰ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਕੇ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਭੀ ਅਨੇਕ ਹੈ । (ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ)

Always keep in mind, not once will we find a single line in Gurbani or in Vaars that talk about more than one Satguru in existence. There are not multiple Satguru in the creation. Only one exists and that is Akal Purakh Himself. Akal Purakh manifested in the form of Guru Nanak and guided the humanity. Now He is guiding through Guru Granth Sahib. Vaar 40, Pauri 8 clearly says (will be posted later in details) that many pirs, avtars, prophets etc are in existence but no one can attain salvation without Satguru. In Vaars except Guru Nanak Sahib Ji (Light that passed on) no one is given the status of Satguru. Everyone else is bhagat, prophet, pir, avtar etc. Satguru has always been one.
