Introductory Slok


Eternally True Entity
Jap.

In Japji Sahib, at the very outset, Guru Nanak Dev Ji declares that the everlasting truth in this world is the existence of Almighty.  He has always been true, is presently true and shall forever remain true. 
(In the) beginning true,
(at the) commencement (of) ages true. 
Even (now,
 Almighty) is true,
Nanak (says,
 He) shall (ever) be true. 

Apart from Almighty, everything else in this world is transient, thereby existing only in one’s perception and is thus a veil of falsehood.  Moreover, everything over a period of time, vanishes by changing its shape and transforming itself into something else.  This shows that everything in this creation is interconnected and thus linked to each other.
