It is the very first thing that Guru Nanak spoke as Guru.) It is a very beautiful word, and for our relative minds, it is also a great sticking point. This word is "Ek," which means "ONE." He said Ek Ong Kar, which means "All of the phenomena and manifestations which we experience, all that we have ever experienced and EVER will experience," ALL these manifestations come from ONE, infinite Source ("Ong")."

Infinity is universal, one and the same with itself. But it affects us relative human beings in various ways: the aspect of Infinity that produces or generates everything that manifests we call Ek Ong Kar. The same Infinity that holds the ultimate, Identity and non-dualistic meaning of all this is called Truth, or Sat Nam. Finally, the awareness aspect of Infinity that experiences and understands the ultimate wisdom of all this is called Wahe Guru ("Absolute Wisdom"). And, there is a little song that a Sikh once wrote which says:

"Ek Ong Kar is what you are,
"Sat Nam is what you'll be,
"And your Siri Wahe Guru,
"Is all you'll ever need say or do."

Realizing the meaning of that song, in one's own life, is the life of a Sikh, and it is the fulfillment of everything that humanity has been searching for, for aeons (millions, and millions, and millions of years, throughout the all the universes and worlds).

Hope Dear Prithipal singh ji, it shall be Of some help. Let us continue to make research. I shall shortly post the exposition of " om' that is so poerful word Of Hindus.

Welcome to The Institute of Sikh Studies-->PublicationsUpanishadas' philosophy tried to negate this view of Onkar, but the Hindu belief of polytheism never faded and was prevalent during the times of Guru NanakEk does not signify the essence or core of Oneness, rather it merely gives outward meanings of God.The absence of numeral 1 and other attributes of God, and the mentioning of personal name of Guru Nanak in the Mul Mantar would suggest that Guru Nanak produced a lame Mul Mantar implying that his contribution to Sikhism is negligible.http://www.sikhstudies.org/Periodicals.asp?TtlCod=728 (2894 words)
