First, Allah1 created Light. All beings are of Creation. The entire universe was created from One Light— Who’s good, who’s bad? 1. O! People, O! Brother, doubt not, forget not. Creator, Creation, Creator within Creation, totally permeating all spaces. 1. Reflect Creator created many forms from one clay. Flawless is the clay pot, flawless is the Potter. 2. Within all is the same Eternal One. All things occur because of the One. Call that person the Banda,2 who recognizes Hukam3 and knows the One. 3. Allah is imperceptible, cannot be perceived, Guru granted sweet jaggery-perception. Kabir says: My doubt destroyed, seeing Immaculate everywhere. 4.

This is our understanding at the moment, which was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow, as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad. In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute as used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord. http://www.sikhri.org

Fortunate are dyed in Red-Love-Color, Never gets dirty or stained. 1. Discovered Divine Comfort-Giver, met in love and comfort, Remains within naturally, cannot be abandoned. 1. Reflect. Old age and death afflict not, the pain does not reoccur. Satiated drinking Immortal-Nectar, Guru bestows Immortality. 2. One who has tasted the invaluable All-Pervasive Nam1 knows price cannot be stated; what saying can the mouth voice? 3. O’ Transcendent! Your vision is fruitful, Your Teachings are treasure-virtues. Nanak adores Your votaries, and asks for their dust. 4.
This Sabad invites the listener into a space of joy and spiritual contemplation, where the heart's humbleness becomes the key to unlocking the treasures of divine remembrance and protection.
