Japji Sahib • Chapter 1 • Shloka 30
ਸੋ ਦਰੁ ਕੇਹਾ ਸੋ ਘਰੁ ਕੇਹਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਬਹਿ ਸਰਬ ਸਮਾਲੇ ॥ ਵਾਜੇ ਨਾਦ ਅਨੇਕ ਅਸੰਖਾ ਕੇਤੇ ਵਾਵਣਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਰਾਗ ਪਰੀ ਸਿਉ ਕਹੀਅਨਿ ਕੇਤੇ ਗਾਵਣਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਤੁਹਨੋ ਪਉਣੁ ਪਾਣੀ ਬੈਸੰਤਰੁ ਗਾਵੈ ਰਾਜਾ ਧਰਮੁ ਦੁਆਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਲਿਖਿ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਲਿਖਿ ਧਰਮੁ ਵੀਚਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਈਸਰੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਦੇਵੀ ਸੋਹਨਿ ਸਦਾ ਸਵਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਇੰਦ ਇਦਾਸਣਿ ਬੈਠੇ ਦੇਵਤਿਆ ਦਰਿ ਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਸਿਧ ਸਮਾਧੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਸਾਧ ਵਿਚਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਜਤੀ ਸਤੀ ਸੰਤੋਖੀ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਵੀਰ ਕਰਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਪੜਨਿ ਰਖੀਸਰ ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਵੇਦਾ ਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਮੋਹਣੀਆ ਮਨੁ ਮੋਹਨਿ ਸੁਰਗਾ ਮਛ ਪਇਆਲੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਰਤਨ ਉਪਾਏ ਤੇਰੇ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਤੀਰਥ ਨਾਲੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਜੋਧ ਮਹਾਬਲ ਸੂਰਾ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਖਾਣੀ ਚਾਰੇ ॥ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਖੰਡ ਮੰਡਲ ਵਰਭੰਡਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਰਖੇ ਧਾਰੇ ॥ ਸੇਈ ਤੁਧੁਨੋ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਜੋ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵਨਿ ਰਤੇ ਤੇਰੇ ਭਗਤ ਰਸਾਲੇ ॥ ਹੋਰਿ ਕੇਤੇ ਗਾਵਨਿ ਸੇ ਮੈ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵਨਿ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਕਿਆ ਵੀਚਾਰੇ ॥ ਸੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਸਦਾ ਸਚੁ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਾਚਾ ਸਾਚੀ ਨਾਈ ॥ ਹੈ ਭੀ ਹੋਸੀ ਜਾਇ ਨ ਜਾਸੀ ਰਚਨਾ ਜਿਨਿ ਰਚਾਈ ॥ ਰੰਗੀ ਰੰਗੀ ਭਾਤੀ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਜਿਨਸੀ ਮਾਇਆ ਜਿਨਿ ਉਪਾਈ ॥ ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਕੀਤਾ ਆਪਣਾ ਜਿਵ ਤਿਸ ਦੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਸੀ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਕਰਣਾ ਜਾਈ ॥ ਸੋ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੁ ਸਾਹਾ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਰਹਣੁ ਰਜਾਈ ॥
How is the door and house of that savior God, where he is looking after the whole universe? (Here Satguru Ji answers this question in retirement) O human! At his door, innumerable musical instruments of various types are resonating and so many players are present. There are so many ragas which are being sung there along with raginis and so many ragis like Gandharva etc. who sing those ragas. The wind, water and fire gods are singing the glory of that Nirankar and Dharmaraj, the analyst of the deeds of all living beings, also stands at his door and sings his glory. Chitragupt, who writes the deeds done by living beings, also sings the praises of that Akaal-Purush and Dharmaraj considers the good and bad deeds written by Chitragupt. Shiva, Brahma and their goddesses (Shakti) who are beautiful, created by God, always sing his praises. O Nirankar! Indra, the ruler of all gods and heaven, sitting on his throne, along with other gods, is standing at your door and singing your praises. Siddhas sing your praises while being in meditation, the thoughtful sages sing your praises with discretion. Ascetics, Satis and contented people also sing your praises, and mighty warriors also sing your glory. All the learned and great self-controlled sages of the world have been singing the praises of that Akaal Purush by reading the Vedas for ages. All the beautiful women who captivate the mind are singing your praises in heaven, earth and underworld. The fourteen gems created by Nirankar, the sixty-eight pilgrimages of the world and the saints (best people) present in them also sing his praises. All the warriors, the mighty, the valiant sing the praises of Akaal Purush, the four sources of origin (egg-born, womb-born, sweat-born and plant-born) also sing his virtues. The nine regions, the mandalas and the entire universe, which the Creator has created and sustained, all sing Your praise. In reality, only those can sing Your praise who are absorbed in Your devotion, who are fond of Your name, and who are liked by You. I am unable to recall many more such beings who sing Your praises, O Nanak! How far should I think of them, that is, how far should I count the living beings who sing Your praises. That true formless Akaal Purush was there in the past, the same Nirankar with attributes is there in the present as well. He will always remain in the future, that Creator God neither takes birth nor perishes. The Creator of the universe, God, has created colourful, diverse and numerous living beings through His Maya. After creating them, He looks after them according to His own liking, that is, He takes care of them according to His own wish. Whatever seems good to that Akaal Purush, he does that and will do it in future, there is no one like him who can command him in this regard. Guru Nanak Ji's order is that O human! That God is the king of kings, i.e. Shahanshah, it is appropriate to live under his orders.
