WAHEGURU! ….… the word which introduced me to that Supernatural power which the creates, sustains and destroys life and universe.
Though different people call it by different names in different languages, we have always heard,” God is One!” We associate HIM with lot of adjectives like Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. And that is what all religions teach and all saints have preached.
In every house in India the second word every mother wants her child to speak in Ram, Allah, God or Waheguru.
Though there are some non-believers who believe that there is no such thing as GOD! But personally I feel there is some power which makes the sun rise every day, which makes the droplets of water fall in the form of rain, which makes the birds fly, which colors the butterflies, which sprays perfume in flowers, which makes…. which does…. …. blah! Blah! Blah!
However, we have scientific reasons and man has explained the process behind everything like evaporation, pollination …… but still there are some questions unanswered! And a saying very well fits into this …
“Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question “How?” but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question “Why?””
Some definitions of that SP (Supernatural Power), which I started speaking or reciting even when I could not speak properly come from the very first paragraph of our Holy Book “Guru Granth Sahib” which comprises of voluminous text of 1430 pages, which says :-
Ek Oankaar
God is only ONE!
Satnam
His Name is Truth
Karta Purakh
He is the Creator
Nirbhao
He is without FEAR
Nirvair
He is inimical to none
Akaal Moorat
He never dies
Ajoonee
He is beyond Births and Deaths
Saibhan
He is Self-Illuminated
Gur Prasaad
God is attained by the Grace of the Enlightener or Guru
Jap
Repeat his name
Aad sach
He was True in the beginning
Jugaad sach
He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True
Hai bhee sachch
He is true now
Nanak hosee bhi sach
Nanak says He will certainly be True in future!
I know all of you; though following different beliefs would be defining or praising HIM the same way.
The description I have given above is no new to most of us. I know we all are well aware of the facts and definitions of GOD from our childhood only. Just that how many of us think about him every moment or say, every day. In our everyday mundane chores we don’t even realize that we have forgotten to remember HIM, to thank HIM for the wonderful life, to pray HIM for the world peace and to ask HIM to bless each and everyone around us.
