Gems of Gurbani

Guru Granth Sahib

Oneness and Universality of God

Weekdays, lunar days, auspiciousness and omens    3

Veerwaar (Thursday); the fifty two warriors like Hanuman are deluded with doubts. All the goblins and demons are attached to another (they abandon the Almighty). Though God alone has created them but He keeps them distinctive. O my Creator you alone are everyone’s support. The mortals and other creatures are under your protection. He alone meets you, whom You have ordained to meet II 6 II

Shukrawaar (Friday); The Almighty is all pervading. He creates all and estimates the worth of each. Those who become God oriented contemplate on that. He (Lord) does the deeds of truth and continence (self-restrain). All the fasting, religious rites without understanding the Lord leads man to love another (believing in another deities) II 7 II

Shaniwaar (Saturday); The world is wandering aimless engrossed in maintaining good omens, deliberation on Shastras, ego and selfhood (personal interests). The blind apostate (Manmukh) or the wayward from Almighty is engrossed in the love of another even in the event of blows of death hammering on his door. Those who are blessed with Guru’s grace obtain eternal peace. The blessed ones does good deeds and hears and loves only the Truth II 8 II

The very fortunate are those who get opportunity to serve the Lord. They abandon their ego to embrace the love to the True Lord. They come into this state where they are easily imbued with your love O Lord. And You O Lord blissfully unites them with you. There is only One Lord and none other. Realizing this reality with grace of Guru, man obtains Divine understanding.
