[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 139261, member: 12855"] Page 276 ਕਈ ਕੋਟਿ ਖਾਣੀ ਅਰੁ ਖੰਡ ॥ kee kott khaanee ar khandd || Many millions are the fields of creation and the galaxies. ਕਈ ਕੋਟਿ ਅਕਾਸ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡ ॥ kee kott akaas brehamandd || Many millions are the etheric skies and the solar systems. ਕਈ ਕੋਟਿ ਹੋਏ ਅਵਤਾਰ ॥ kee kott hoeae avathaar || Many millions are the divine incarnations. ਕਈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੀਨੋ ਬਿਸਥਾਰ ॥ kee jugath keeno bisathhaar || In so many ways, He has unfolded Himself. ਕਈ ਬਾਰ ਪਸਰਿਓ ਪਾਸਾਰ ॥ kee baar pasariou paasaar || So many times, He has expanded His expansion. ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਇਕੁ ਏਕੰਕਾਰ ॥ sadhaa sadhaa eik eaekankaar || Forever and ever, He is the One, the One Universal Creator. ਕਈ ਕੋਟਿ ਕੀਨੇ ਬਹੁ ਭਾਤਿ ॥ kee kott keenae bahu bhaath || Many millions are created in various forms. ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇ ਹੋਏ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਤਿ ॥ prabh thae hoeae prabh maahi samaath || From God they emanate, and into God they merge once again. ਤਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਕੋਇ ॥ thaa kaa anth n jaanai koe || His limits are not known to anyone. My understanding from this is that Waheguru has created everything, the creation is so vast that we may never know the extent of it. Waheguru is self created so requires nothing else. Lives are constantly being created-this may also be in the sense of new births as supported by the fact that it is stated that these lives then merge again with Waheguru. Even if we take it in the sense of the expanding universe, this does not relate to your theory about waves. Page 294 ਆਪਿ ਸਤਿ ਕੀਆ ਸਭੁ ਸਤਿ ॥ aap sath keeaa sabh sath || He Himself is True, and all that He has made is True. ਤਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇ ਸਗਲੀ ਉਤਪਤਿ ॥ this prabh thae sagalee outhapath || The entire creation came from God. ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਕਰੇ ਬਿਸਥਾਰੁ ॥ this bhaavai thaa karae bisathhaar || As it pleases Him, He creates the expanse. ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਏਕੰਕਾਰੁ ॥ this bhaavai thaa eaekankaar || As it pleases Him, He becomes the One and Only again. ਅਨਿਕ ਕਲਾ ਲਖੀ ਨਹ ਜਾਇ ॥ anik kalaa lakhee neh jaae || His powers are so numerous, they cannot be known. ਜਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਲਏ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ jis bhaavai this leae milaae || As it pleases Him, He merges us into Himself again. ਕਵਨ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਕਵਨ ਕਹੀਐ ਦੂਰਿ ॥ kavan nikatt kavan keheeai dhoor || Who is near, and who is far away? ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਆਪ ਭਰਪੂਰਿ ॥ aapae aap aap bharapoor || He Himself is Himself pervading everywhere. ਅੰਤਰਗਤਿ ਜਿਸੁ ਆਪਿ ਜਨਾਏ ॥ antharagath jis aap janaaeae || One whom God causes to know that He is within the heart ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਆਪਿ ਬੁਝਾਏ ॥੫॥ naanak this jan aap bujhaaeae ||5|| - O Nanak, He causes that person to understand Him. ||5|| This tuk is talking about the creator Waheguru, whose powers are so vast that she created everything and can increase that creation if desired but we will never know. Those who are blessed merge with him before death but how can we define who is close and who is far from Waheguru when Waheguru is everywhere! We need to understand the fact that Waheguru is within us. Therefore putting the line you quote in context places doesn't emphasise the expanding universe.
