One Oankar, the primal energy, realised through the grace of divine preceptor
Pauri 1 (Invocation)
I bow before the Guru (Guru Nanak Dev) who recited the satinam mantra(for the world).
Getting (the creatures) across the world ocean He raptly merged them in liberation.
He destroyed the fear of transmigration and decimated the malady of doubt and separation.
The world is only illusion which carried with it much of birth, death and sufferings.
The fear of the rod of Yama is not dispelled and the sakts, the followers of the goddess, have lost their lives in vain.
Those who have caught hold of the feet of the Guru have been liberated through the true Word.
Now being full of loving devotion they celebrate the gurprubs (anniversaries of the Gurus) and their acts of rememberance of God, charity and holy ablutions, inspire others also.
As someone sows, so he reaps.
