 INTROSPECTION OF GURU NANAK SAHIB’S MOOL-MANTRA

 

The prime feature of Guru Nanak Sahib's Mool Mantra is—"what is the nature of God' and "how that spiritual wisdom can be experienced".  This may require introspection of the following "ten" words.

इकओ सतिनामु करतापुरखु निरभउ निरवैरु

अकालमूरति अजूनी सैभं गुर प्रसादि।। जप //

God's nature is both positive and negative—as per sequential arrangements of the words in the Mantra.

POSITIVE CONNOTATION

1) Eko – ONE, the ONLY ONE

2) Satnam—His name is the Truth that exists

3) Kartapurakh – The One that has the power of doing and undoing

 NEGATIVE CONNOTATION

4) Nirbhao—Not afraid of anyone.

5) Nirvair—No enmity.

6) Akal  Moorat—Not in any time frame.

7) Ajooni—Never born and, therefore, never dies.

------------------------------------------------------------

8)Saibhang—Self-sustained with these seven undertones.

9) GurPrsad --These multiple dimensions of the Divinity can be blessed through the True Guru

10) Jap—by having meditative concentration.
