Gems of Gurbani

Guru Granth Sahib

Rehras Sahib  2

Multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses created so much confusion in the minds of the common people that they deviated from the Creator of this world. In the verse of sodar an environment was created by Guru Nanak which is recorded in Japuji Sahib that resembles the House of God where several music instruments are being played and praises of Lord are sung. Who are these people who are praising Lord? They are all the mythological Gods and Godesses, Dhramraj the King of righteousness, Chit- Gupt his two angels who record the accounts of everyone, Brahma, Indra, and other Devis, sidhas who claim to have achieved occult powers, Yogis who claim to unite with Lord through their meditation and then Satis who claim to unite with Lord by penance, Pandits who claim expertise in the matters of God, rishis who have created the religious scriptures, mohinis who have powers to attract the toughest Rishis, knights, all the continents spaces in the universe. These are all the people who are creating the environment of House of the Lord. What all are they saying is explained in the 27 verse of Japuji Sahib. They are all singing His praises because He is the only Truth and when all others depart he shall still be there taking care of His Creation. He is King of the Kings. When all these people are singing His praises in His house then none other can replace Him. He is the only One whose praises we shall sing.

Sikhi Sodar; God is the only Immortal Being Lord of the world. Under His command the whole world moves and all arrangements done.

He is the Truth and the His Creation moves on certain definite laws that are also truth. Laws of His Creation cannot be destroyed because they are supreme. These praises are sung by the singers of Sodar.

He is the Creator Person who has created the whole Universe and has created a Play according to His will.

He has created the illusion under which we see the whole world diversified in various colours and forms. This whole diversification is His Miracle.

God alone is capable of taking care of this whole Creation and He takes it as His duty to take care.

There is no one above Him who can instruct Him. His Will is supreme.

He is the King of Kings. There is no other Ruler above Him.

All the singer of His praises at His door are saying and Guru Ji instructing that we shall agree to mould ourselves according to His laws and His Will.
