Guru Nanaks’s first revelation to mankind after his enlightenment was the Mul Mantra
Ik Oankar – One Verse or Sound. Universe. One Universal Creator or Being. One Seed or moment, that is unfolding. Ever: creating, preserving, and changing. All dualities One, male/female, light/dark, good/bad, form/formless, yin/yang. There is unity in diversity, and singularity in infinity.
Satinamu – Whose name is the Truth or existence. Truth, true identity, bowing to the truth. The truth is this moment, is the only truth for us. The greatest challenge is to overcome both life and death and unite the two polarites. As we realise our true identity, we become Timeless, and always see existential truth.
Karta Purukh – The Creative Being or Creative Intelligence, consciousness, being: as creation is infinite, so is our inner being, so we must create.
