The Granth Sahib begins with the following: “There is but one God whose name is true?the Creator”. It contains a code of high morals. Purity of life, obedience to Guru, mercy, charity, temperance, justice, straightforwardness, truthfulness, sacrifice, service, love and abstinence from animal food are among the virtues on which great emphasis is laid; while lust, anger, pride, hatred, egoism, greed, selfishness, cruelty, backbiting and falsehood are vehemently condemned 

 

“Ek onkar satnam karta purakh nirbho nirvair akal murat ajooni saibhang gur prasad.”
There is but One all embracing and all powerful Divinity, Who manifests Himself first in the shape of the sacred word, and then through the whole created Universe 
He is the One-in-all and the All-in-one. He is the Eternal Reality, and His name Satnam is also Eternal. He is the Creator, and has the power of independent self – creation. He permeates the whole creation. He is the only male element in the Universe and all else is female. He is above all fear, and is free from all thoughts of enmity. He is immortal, free from birth and rebirth, and can be realised in every created thing. 
He is self – existent. The whole universe is dependent for its existence on Him but He is self – existent; the Generator of all, without any one to generate Him. 
He can be realised through the grace of the Guru-The Teacher who is God conscious, and sees Him both within and without. 

 

 All the ten Gurus blessed men and women with the gift of the Divine name. Those, who realised the Divine within, were called Gurmukhs and were given the right of showing the path of realization to seekers alter Truth through meditation on the Divine name. 

 

Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that Gurmukh who himself meditates on the Divine meditation on the Divine name.

Jan Nanak dhoor mangai tis gursikh ki. 
Jo aap Japai awreh Naam Japawai 
Guru Gobind Singh says, “He who has realized the Divine within is the True Khalsa. He is at – one with God and myself’. 
JAP. Ad sach jugad sach. Hai bhee sach Nanak hosi bhee sach. 
Then O Sikh, the searcher after Truth, meditate on His name, who was real and self -existent before all creation, Who was real through all.ages (Yugas); Who is real and true now, and shall be true and self – existent for all times to come
