Mulmantra 8

Ajuni

The literal meaning of Ajuni is without the cycle of birth and death. According to Hinduism the man has to take millions of birth in any living form before he is emancipated and his soul becomes free to merge into the Supreme Soul. Each cycle is a juni. Guru Nanak has attributed the character of Ajuni to God because He is the only One who is not born. He has no father, no mother, no kins and no lust and pain. In Japuji Sahib Guru Nanak says; ‘some worship Him as the Supreme Power, some worship His bounties and see His manifestations in that, some worship His virtues, His greatness and deeds, some worship through knowledge and scholarship, some worship Him as Creator and the destroyer, some worship Him as destroyer who recreates life, some worship Him as far from earth, some worship Him as omniscient and omnipresent. There is no end to the ways He has been described by His devotees. Myriads of men have described Him in myriads of ways. The Giver gives eternally; the receiver grows weary of receiving. Since the time was born men have subsisted on His bounty. The Lord within the discipline of His order directs the path of the universe.

God the disinterested enjoys it blissfully’. This shows that God has remained detached all the time and has built no relationships.

He has worked through all ages and has remained Harmonious.

The theory of incarnation of God thus stands rejected because He has not involved in any strife and He has not come and gone (He has not taken birth in human form to emancipate the world as incarnation). Ajuni therefore stands for un- incarnated.
