Is There Any Gurbani Which Describes The Shape Of The Earth?

[Singhshaster]

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕਾ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹ

Does anyone know of any Gurbani which describes the shape of the world?

I know of the pankti in Sri Sukhmani Sahib which states the world has 4 corners

"nimukh mahi chaar kunt fir aave"

Does anyone know of any Gurbani which describes the shape of the world?

I know of the pankti in Sri Sukhmani Sahib which states the world has 4 corners

"nimukh mahi chaar kunt fir aave"

Guru ji tells us in Japji Sahib ji:

ਤਿਥੈ ਖੰਡ ਮੰਡਲ ਵਰਭੰਡ ॥

तिथै खंड मंडल वरभंड ॥

Ŧithai kẖand mandal varbẖand.

In that realm there are continents, worlds and solar systems.

ਜੇ ਕੋ ਕਥੈ ਤ ਅੰਤ ਨ ਅੰਤ ॥

जे को कथै त अंत न अंत ॥

Je ko kathai ṯa anṯ na anṯ.

if some one tries to describe them, he should know that there are no limits or bounds of them.

ਤਿਥੈ ਲੋਅ ਲੋਅ ਆਕਾਰ ॥

तिथै लोअ लोअ आकार ॥

Ŧithai lo▫a lo▫a ākār.

There are universes upon universes and creations over creations.

ਜਿਵ ਜਿਵ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਤਿਵੈ ਤਿਵ ਕਾਰ ॥

जिव जिव हुकमु तिवै तिव कार ॥

Jiv jiv hukam ṯivai ṯiv kār.

As is the Master's mandate, so are their functions.

ਵੇਖੈ ਵਿਗਸੈ ਕਰਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

वेखै विगसै करि वीचारु ॥

vekẖai vigsai kar vīcẖār.

The Lord beholds His creation and feels happy by contemplating over it.

ਨਾਨਕ ਕਥਨਾ ਕਰੜਾ ਸਾਰੁ ॥੩੭॥

नानक कथना करड़ा सारु ॥३७॥

Nānak kathnā karṛā sār. ||37||

O Nanak! to describe the realm of truth is hard like iron.

Aren't 4 corners the north/south/west/east directions?

I would assume the corners are a bit more complex than that, considering that from space it is a sphere.

[simran345]

On a few Angs, "chare kunda" is translated as the directions. But I'm not sure about " nimukh mahi chaar kunt fir aave" in Sukhmani Sahib ji.

[WaljinderSingh]

4 kunt = 4 directions

For the planets to revolve on their axis ( day and night / divas and raat) and revolve around the sun to have four seasons, they have to be round/gol logically.

They can't be flat.

I don't know if there is, but why does it matter? Is this an attempt to compete with Muslims or other religions that try to prove themselves with science?

Yeah, I've always considered Sikhi to be above that kind of base, point-scoring nonsense that certain other faiths enjoy peddling in order to legitimise their teachings.

It's kind of like how people say, "When did Guru Sahibs say being gay was not allowed for Sikhs?" and I find myself thinking, "If our Gurus were mulling over what two men got up to behind closed doors and then passing edicts on such matters, instead of focusing on revealing the universal truths of humanity and divinity, as well as conducting the incessant fight for survival in the face of the hostile and barbaric Islamic rule of those times, I'd seriously have to question their godliness, lol. Thankfully, nothing of the sort occurred.

Extremely shocking how dumbed downed and fooled the average person is. You guys are going off doctored english translations and making up your own translations to fit the nasa globe model which is just a deception that you have all blindly accepted. You're trying to somehow align the religion of 'science' with the the ultimate truth  of Sikhi. Your not gonna get it. 

I suggest you ditch the brainwashing and learn to read gurmukhi and get the real arths of the words without trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. 

We live on a flat plane. The Sun and the Moon are lights that go around the Earth. The conflict is that people  have elevated 'science' to such a  supreme, untouchable  benchmark in their minds that they filter everything with that lens, which is what we are seeing in the above comments. People don't want to accept the truth if it challenges something so deeply ingrained within their minds

We live in an inverted world. Instead of questioning science, you want to question Sikhi and amalgamate it with lies?.

Your either gonna wake or stay sleeping. I'm out.

Can you provide Gurbani that says we live on a flat plane?
