JapJi Sahib- A Translation - Prof Teja Singh - Raj Karega Khalsa ...

O Sidhs, we bow down in complete devotion and reverence to Him, who is everexistent, the source of all creation, has no colour and form, and is indestructible. He isbeyond all changes through all the Yugas (The cycle of the world’s creation).In answer to a question put by a Sidh, how the world has been created, GuruNanak says: -The Eternal Divine – the One-in-All and the All-in-One in unison with Hiscreation, (the thought from one to many) has brought into existence three vital functionsthat rule the Universe:The creative agent – Brahma.The feeder – Vishnu.The destroyer – Shiva.These three carry on their work according to His will, and the Eternal Lawcontrolling the creation. They are not the masters of their own will. But the wonder isthat He can see and realize all that is going on in His universe, but He Himself is beyondthe realization of these three (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). Therefore, let us rise abovethese three and bow down in complete devotion and humility to Him Who is the sourceof all matter and spirit.During that period of the Universe when everything was in flux and there was nocreated thing in existence, the idea came into the Eternal mind that I manifest myself intovarious forms. This thought (Mai) in conjunction with the Divine mind brought intobeing the three forces (Powers) that rule the world. (1) The creative (Brahma), (2) Thefeeding (Vishnu), (3) The destructive (Shiva).O Sidhs, we bow down in complete devotion and reverence to Him Who is everexistent, the source of all creation, ahs no colour and form, and is indestructible. He isbeyond all changes through all the Yugas (The cycle of the world’s creation).
