Creator And Creation

[Lord Raiden]

Creator and Creation - Sant Maskeen Singh

On seeing a portrait, a painter comes to mind. When we see a built up pitcher, we come to know that there must be a potter. On seeing a beautiful, attractive statue of marble, the photo of a stonecutter comes tomind. Every creation in the world is dependent on a creator. We come to know about the personality of the creator from the creation only. The whole world is a creation and it has been brought into being by some great creator. This creation is the visible proof of the greatness of the creator. This is the strange principle working in the world of creation that the creation becomes separate from the creator. Creation is kept at one place and the creator at another. Painter is sitting at his home and painting is hanging in someone else's home. Idol has become decoration of some crossing or temple and idolmaker is busy in her home. Creation does tell us about the creator. But he who has created the world, is not only a Creator. He is Karta Purakh, which means that he is omnipresent. His light is in the rays of the Sun, his nectar is inthe moon, up thrust in the waves of the ocean, flavour in the vegetation andflowers, music in the chirping of birds, roaring of lions, dance of peacocks,humming of the black bee, pride of the Himalayas, innocence of the deer, flightof the bird, brilliance of the diamond, glitter of God. In short how much can you describe, the creator is present in his each creation in some new form. The creation is so great and it has so much attraction in itself that, generally,man is unable to make his consciousness reach him.

ਚਚਾ ਰਚਿਤ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਹੈ ਭਾਰੀ ॥

CHACHA: He painted the great picture of the world.

ਤਜਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰੈ ਚੇਤਹੁ ਚਿਤਕਾਰੀ ॥

Forget this picture, and remember the Painter.

ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਇਹੈ ਅਵਝੇਰਾ ॥

This wondrous painting is now the problem.

ਤਜਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰੈ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਾਖਿ ਚਿਤੇਰਾ ॥੧੨॥

Forget this picture and focus your consciousness on the Painter. ||12||

We ourselves are great creation of the great creator. If we come to know our greatness, then thegreatness of the creator will automatically manifested. It is difficult to have his glimpse in the truse sense without his creation. Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji are having a glimpse of the Almight in his nature

ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਵਸਿਆ ॥

I am a sacrifice to Your almighty creative power which is pervading everywhere.

ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਲਖਿਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Your limits cannot be known. ||1||Pause||

And

ਕਰਤੇ ਕੁਦਰਤੀ ਮੁਸਤਾਕੁ ॥ OCreator, through Your creative potency, I am in love with You.

Whenever a creation is fabricated, there is always an underlying principle for it. The whole life of the universe is according to some methodology

ਪੁਤਰੀ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਰਿ ਥਾਟੀ ॥

The puppet of the body has been fashioned with greatskill.

The effigy of thisbody is made according to some methodology. If there is no constitution method and maker of the constitution, then head can be at the bottom and legs at thetop. Teeth maybe in the head and the tongue in the nerves. The presence of all the parts of the body in their designated places and their working manifeststhe form of the maker of the system.

The whole word and we sitting therein are the creation of some great creator. To have a glimpse ofourselves in depth is the holy vision of the creator.

ਕਬੀਰ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਖੋਜਤੇ ਪਾਇਓ ਸੋਈ ਠਉਰੁ ॥ Kabeer, you have found that place which you were seeking.

ਸੋਈ ਫਿਰਿ ਕੈ ਤੂ ਭਇਆ ਜਾ ਕਉ ਕਹਤਾ ਅਉਰੁ ॥੮੭॥ You have become that which you thought was separate from yourself. ||87||

If we conceal ourselves from us then the sight goes away from the creator also and in thisway creator seated in his creation becomes invisible.
