Yes, we are well aware of this vaar. Again, the translation is almost entirely misleading.

In essence, what Bhai Gurdaas Jee is saying is that each yug has its own mantra, which was considered potent at the time. But the waheguru mantr that Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Jee has given us is so powerful that all the mantra's in all the yug's pale in comparison to it. Furthermore, if you sum up the power of all the mantra's in the previous yugs, even their combined power pales in front of waheguru mantr.

Bhai Gurdas Jee's vara are very hard to understand as the symbolism used is quite complicated.

How can we measure this paleness or strength of a mantra , since its an intangible quantity .... please tell how to measure ?

[HDSH]

If you really want to measure it, wake up at 3am every morning and spend 2 hours saying 'waheguru'. Do this for 2 months, do not skip even a single day, your question will be answered for you.

The play is such that no one can describe it, words fall short. No one can quantify is, numbers and mathematics fall short. One can only experience it.

Already explained on this thread:-

[alias]

u measure an intangable quality, with other intangable qualities that you can control and that have in ur body. meditate, try to measure it, then ull see it true nature. a-tul and a-mitorj.

As pointed out by MokhamSingh Jee, please check the other thread for explanation. I'm closing this now.
