Understanding “The Mool Mantra” of JapJi
If we don’t understand Mool Mantra (A prelude To Jap Ji), we know nothing about Sikhi; without understanding the concept of the Creator in “Mool Mantra”, we simply build our pyramids of knowledge based on stories told over times by those, who were more interested in the pursuit of their own quest than understanding fully the goal of the Gurus, or we, even being Sikhs, are indulging in implying ideas of our own limits to every word used in Mool Mantra; if so, we often forget that every word used in Mool Mantra is elaborated in Sri Guru Granth in detail with examples (Please check on 33,54,73,78,99,108, 302,391,720, 759, 916, 930, 931, 1291 and 1385,SGGS ). First Nanak introduces to us the Creator he has adored, praised and realized; his goal is to take the followers away from prevailed misconceptions about the Creator (Ekkankaar) and to lead them directly to Ekkankaar, who, even being above forms and visibility, permeates all. Through Many shabdas, it is made clear that Enkkaar is “One All Pervading Creator; in other words, He is present very much within all (Please check for references on 11, 25, 33, 47, 56,128, 152 and 181 SGGS).
