JAPUJĪ
In the thirty-eight steps, paurian, of Japuji,

meditations, the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak
(1469-1539), reflects upon the existential relations
between God and Man. He meditates on the nature
of Creation and its Creator, their harmonious
accord and the vicissitudes of the human mind. In
this reflective process, we have a conceptual
constitution of Truth, Faith and Harmony of Word
and Music in their various mental and physical
spaces.
In the beginning is the One, the Eternal, the
True, the Creator. For Guru Nanak, the most
fundamental basis of all meditation is the Truth
that characterizes the coordination and
correspondence of the Creator and His Creation.
Thus Truth is the crystallising principle of all
existence. It is perceived in His Will, in His Order,
in His Nature. Before the beginning of the
beginning, before the advent of Time, was the
Truth. Throughout the ages it has been the basis
of all existence and sustenance. When it will be all
2 NITNEM
over, when all ages will come to their end, there

will be the divine Truth. Truth as such is the most
fundamental principle of all existence and all non-
existence, all Times and all non-Times. In the non-
existent void was the Truth. In the physical and
metaphysical existence of the Universe is the
Truth. All forms are due to Him. All peace and
passion are derived from His Being. His Grace, His
Faith.
This formless Being is manifest in the various
aspects of Nature and Culture, in the destructive
and creative processes which continue to renew
themselves eternally. Human life is only one of the
aspects of this incessant, recreative process.
This cyclic Truth is however mellowed by Love.
In a way, Love and Truth are the two poles within
which vibrate the musical rhythm responsible for
all natural harmony. It leads to devotion,
benediction and perception. It is also the path of
the ultimate Knowledge, the Knowledge of who am
I and who I am not.
Let us sing and tune to the melody of Love. Let
us shed our miseries and enter the House of Bliss,
says Nanak. We listen in to hear the music of the
spheres where Grace and Knowledge prevail. But
only he has the privilege of listening in who dwells
in His will. In His Will is all dispensation. If there
is accord and harmony, this listening in tunes one
with the Truth of this and the other world. It
NITNEM 3
eradicates all misery and sin. It enables one to

comprehend the mystery of the Universe. It
transforms sinners into saints.
The next spiritual state is that of Belief and
Faith, the steady state of absolute purity and
transcendence. Faith in Him crystallizes one’s
perception. It surmounts all illusions. This is a
state where death does not demand submission,
where there is absolute sincerity.
This Universe includes various races, castes,
creeds, colours. They all follow His Will, His Order.
Those who stick to these differences are lost, those
who perceive Him in every aspect of Nature are
saved. They are on the righteous path, His path.
This Universe is saturated with meditations and
devotions, rituals and restrictions. They are all
seekers of Truth that always evades them. This
wondrous Nature is beyond every attempt at
comprehension. As He wills, so it is done. He is the
eternal Nirankar, says Nanak.
This Universe is also replete with thieves and
criminals, sinners and murderers who live in dirt
and squalor, who are involved in stinking deeds.
They must also one day repent and suffer. They
must also follow His Will.
The infinite creatures and elements of the
Universe realise their forms and distinct existence
when they are given specific designations,
nomenclatures with words. With words we
4 NITNEM
sharpen our perceptions, our classifications. It is

His Word, His Utterance, His Discourse which
describes and discerns all unities and all species.
The various social and religious norms prescribe
rituals and restrictions, generosity and charity.
They are supposed to earn merit for the next
world. But there is no ritual more purifying than
that of listening in and believing with devotion and
love. This alone cleanses the inner self, says
Nanak. We listen in for the divine Word, the divine
Utterance, for this Universe is only an expression
of His beatitude and benediction.
The Beginning and the Commencement of the
Universe is known to none. All estimates and
descriptions in the scared texts are only probes in
the dark. He alone can discern His own
dimensions, His own divisions, His own depths,
says Nanak.
This world is both an illusion and reality. It is a
matter of perception. In His will, all is real, all
humanity, all nations, all Universe. Juxtaposed to
ignorance is knowledge, to falsehood is truth.
Within these two mental spaces moves the
pendulum of belief and disbelief, the listening in of
the music of divine harmony and the discordant
notes of sin and strife.
The Guru advises the yogis to wear the earrning
of patience, to carry the begging bowl of hard work
and to smear their bodies with the ashes of
NITNEM 5
meditation. The yogis should have as clothes, the

fear of death, the purity of mind as their Order,
and faith as their walking stick. The Guru's
reflections invariably move between the physical
and the mental space. Metaphysically, there is
always a cosmological constitution with the help of
material, manifest elements. The righteous path
needs no material assistance. It is always a matter
of faith and fortitude, steadfast belief and
harmonious union with oneself, with listening in to
the divine music.
The vast cosmos is His abode. He is merged
with every sphere, every aspect of His nature. The
Truth of His creation lies in His Truth. To be true
or false depends upon Him. He alone can discern
and differentiate.
In this Universe there are all kinds of illusions.
Men are easily deluded by false promises and
passionate paths which lead nowhere. Many a
creed is lured by the tales of heaven, by the
phantasies of idle mind. Salvation and union
cannot be forced. Truth cannot be revealed by
physical efforts. There must be harmony of mind
and body, spirit and matter. His Grace alone
reveals the Truth and the Mystery.
This Universe is His Temple where there are
winds, waters, oceans, stars, fires, fermentations,
godly and demonic beings. This is the Universe of
6 NITNEM
Action. Only deeds matter here. This however is

the beginning of the search.
We are then led to the Universe of Knowledge
where there are created the most beautiful forms,
where divine utterances are articulated, where
discourses are constituted, where consciousness,
intelligence and wisdom prevail.
Knowledge and Action go together. One leads to
another. However, this path of absolute
righteousness is full of absolute and false
illusions. There is perseverance, there is effort.
This is patience, there is practice. But in this
mental space, deceptions are all over and the
deeds deviate from their own chosen path.
In the Sphere of Truth, in the Universe of
Knowledge and Grace, there are infinite regions.
There is Light, there is Form. There is Music, there
is Harmony. Truth dwells in all aspects of His
creation and the human mind perceives this Truth
in correspondens and accord, in vision and
reflection.
This Universe is a Metaphor. In this atelier,
discipline is the oven and patience is the
goldsmith. With the hammer of Knowledge, He
strikes on the plate of intelligence. There is fear
and faith which ignite the fire of love and devotion.
In the atelier of Truth is formed the True Word, the
Word that is the Beginning and the End of all
Creation. There is a certain simultaneity and
NITNEM 7
reciprocity in this Creative Act which bestows

benediction and beatitude. It creates not only
Matter but also Spirit and both together are bound
to reflect and recreate for ever and ever. Within
this ambiguous, metaphysical and sublime space,
man can aspire to the unknown heights, to
heavenly bliss, to a state of mind that is steady
and serene, to a spiritual harmony that crosses
the threshold of physical time and space of Karma
and Gyan, of Action and Knowledge.

JĀP SĀHIB
The tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Gobind Singh, was only nine
years old when, in 1675, his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was
executed on the orders of Emperor Aurangzeb in the heart of
Delhi, in Chandni Chowk, opposite the Red Fort, the seat of
the Mughal Empire. Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed his life for
the rights and religions of the citizens of India. The young
Guru Gobind inherited a tradition of non-violent resistance to
tyranny. Even earlier, the fifth Guru, Arjun Dev, had similarly
been executed in Lahore in 1606 by Emperor Jahangir. Guru
Arjun Dev was tortured for days before he expired. The
anguish and suffering had led his son, Guru Hargobind, to
wear two swords, of pīrī as the insignia of Guruship, and the
other of mīrī as the defender of faith. He also founded the
Akāl Takht, in front of the main Harimandir, also known as
Golden Temple, as the Seat of Secular Authority. Hence, the
Spiritual and the Secular had already merged in the
philosophical doctrine of Sikhism.
The first Guru, Nanak (1469-1539) had initiated his
movement by defining his God as nirbhau and nirwair,
without fear, without rancour, in his fundamental
composition, Japuji, which is the basic discourse of Adi
Granth, the Sacred Book of the Sikhs, which contains, besides
10 NITNEM
the compositions of the Sikh Gurus, the hymns from a number

of Hindu and Muslim saints. On the path of righteousness, a
certain synthesis, a certain harmonious blend of
corresponding meditations was aimed at, and the disciples
were supposed to follow without fear or rancour, the
principles of sat, the Truth, and sanjam, the Will and
Discipline of the Almighty.
Guru Gobind Singh continued the tradition of Truth and
fearless struggle and in 1699 administered khanḍe dī pahul ,
the baptism of the sword, and transformed his Sikhs into a
formidable revolutionary Khalsa which played a decisive role
in the ongoing historical progression of the nation. The land
of the two political centres of tyranny, Lahore and Delhi, had
been purified by the blood of the martyr Gurus, now the body-
politic, the congregation was asked to accept the challenge of
revolutionising the entire metaphysical cobweb of the Indian
sub-continent.
It is in this context that one can attempt at understanding
the Cosmology of Guru Gobind Singh as projected by a series
of conceptual propositions in the Jāp Sāhib, the fundamental
discourse of the Guru’s numerous compositions, compiled in
Dasam Granth.
Jāp Sāhib is a poetic composition that vibrates with energy
and enthusiasm, whose resonance can be interpreted in no
way other than these rhythmic words themselves which move
like the beat of a drum, a war drum at times, and also like a
musical orchestration charged with harmonious bliss. One
neither needs to know Sanskrit nor Persian with which the
rhythmic flow is surcharged, to be swayed by

These are salutations to the Formless, Fearless, who is

beyond deed or delusion, who is both the Creator and the
Destroyer, who is beyond Time and Space, who is the Lord of
12 NITNEM
the Universe, the Sovereign, the Eternal, the Self-created and

so on. In 199 musical units of orchestrated composition, an
attempt is made to describe the indescribable, to reach the un
reachable, to comprehend the incomprehensible. It is an
attempt at painting pure forms, the forms which cannot
possibly have any empirical existence. It is a cosmology of
conceptual forms which only give illusion of analogous
familiar forms of this world without having any
correspondence whatsoever with their physical realisation.
These forms are constituted in the universe of imagination
which becomes the basis of a new cosmology, a cosmology
that goes beyond any conceivable cosmos of the physical as
well as metaphysical world. With a crystallising process of
abstraction, a given epithet of Beauty or Truth, Generosity or
Grandeur is conceptualised in absolute purity.
In the Middle Ages, the Platonic realists believed in the
reality of abstract characteristics like humanity or rationality
while the Aristotelian nominalists emphasised the reality of
the individuals. In the twelfth century, the French philosopher,
Pierre Abélard, proposed the theory of mental images where
an artist constitutes pure forms of beauty or truth neglecting
all other characteristics which may be found in the same
being. Naturally, such a conceptual being would not
correspond to any given individual. It will have to be an irreal
realisation of an irreducible imaginative reality, a sur or super
reality.
We witness this incessant mental creativity in Jāp Sāhib
where with the help of a few words, whose inherent
significance is obviously limited, a new structure of
NITNEM 13
signification is created, a structure which is the most

unimaginable constitution but which enables the devotee to
sing along and be a part of this Universe that is being woven
slowly with the beat of the cosmic drum.
At times, it is an affair of numerous permutations and
combinations of a few nuclear semantic units which enter into
new structures of signification, thereby creating various sub-
discourses within the overall Discourse of Cosmology. For
example, the words, amritāmrit in
amriteswar hε
parmeswar hε
akritā krit hε
amritā mrit hε (179) and
a'jabā krit hε

amritā amrit hε
nar nāik hε
khal ghāik hε (180)
and the word parmeswar in 179 and in
jagteswar hε
parmeswar hε
kal kāran hε
sarb ubāran hε (172)
The cycle of rhythmic notes also creates its

specific universe of resonance. These musical
14 NITNEM
orchestrations carry their own significance which

emerges only in specific combinations and which
may have no purpose other than to increase the
density of resonance, a resonance of course that is
already highly crystallised in the form of pure
epithets. So we have here a combination of
musical and pictorial compositions, a creation
constituted of conceptual forms and abstract
mental images, which sing and dance, which
vibrate with ever increasing intensity.
The Jāp Sāhib is composed of a number of
musical ensembles of various extensions and
combinations of both formal and conceptual notes.
The initial ensemble is Chhape Chhand of three
long couplets of about twenty words each. It
delineates almost completely the kernel theme of
the composition which is developed in the
following integrating parts as we go along the
entire orchestration :
With Thy Grace

we meditate
on the One
who is without form or figure
without shade or caste or creed
whose complexion or colour
dress or design
one cannot describe
eternal, the source of His own light
NITNEM 15
beyond measure, beyond all space

King of kings, Indra of Indras
Sovereign of the three universes
gods, demons, men
all proclaim together
He is neither this nor that
none can define Him
neither nature or culture
can delineate His being (1)
We have here the nucleus semiotic constitution

of the God of Guru Gobind Singh that the Guru
wanted his Singhs to know, to recognise and to
meditate upon. He has no form or figure but He is
the Sovereign of the three universes and He is the
King of kings. A pure and perfect Being who is
splendid in His grandeur. In the meditative
reflection, there is affection but there is also awe.
A community is known by the God it worships, or
in other words, the ideal it aspires for. And here in
the opening hymn of the Jāp Sāhib, we have the
path of righteousness clearly outlined, and the
conceptual universe presented in utmost
transparency. It is followed by Bhujang Pryat
Chhand of 27 verses beginning with
16 NITNEM
nmastwaη akāle
nmastwaη kripāle
nmastwaη arūpe
nmastwaη anūpe (2)
These are salutations to the Eternal, Merciful,

Formless, Unrivalled, beyond defeat or
destruction, beyond designation or locale, whose
mystery cannot be pierced, whose depth cannot be
measured, who is the Source of all happiness, who
is the Cause of all unions, who can never perish,
who is both an Eternal Ascetic and Eternally
Involved, Eternal Dispensation and Eternally
Protective, etc. First of all, a series of negative
propositions, of what the Guru’s God is not so that
there is no confusion. He certainly has no form or
figure. He can be conceptualised only as a Concept
corresponding one or another epithet, one or
another crystallised abstraction constituted in
mental imagination as a pure conceptual form,
bereft of all empirical ambiguities. Once the
formlessness of the Form is established, the
idealised conceptualisation can be described
without falling into the trap of idolatry, whether it
is a humanised realisation in a given individual or
a given image. The Guru insists on His being
beyond every possible design or description,
enterprise or existence.
NITNEM 17
The following sub-ensemble is a Chachri

Chhand of fourteen assertive propositions where
we have only an adjective and a copula, four units
in each verse :
arūp hε
anūp hε
ajū hε
abhū hε (29)
These are mostly negative propositions ending in assertive

statements of positive benevolence and benediction. The
rhythmic movement is very fast and follows the typical beat
of the war drum. Even when the meditative reflections are
stated in a non-discursive manner, the impact is sharp and
reminds the devotee of the Baptism of the Sword. His God is
beyond domination or destruction, beyond conflict or
corruption, but He is a steadfast companion and comrade, a
dependable Being even when He is beyond all visions or
vicissitudes, all rites or rituals.
Before we proceed with the description of other ensembles
and sub-ensembles of this musical composition, it may be
worthwhile to present the structure of rhythmic integration of
different Chhands or meters which constitute this Discourse
of Cosmology. There are in all twenty-two units with Chhape
Chhand occurring only once, Bhujang Pryat Chhand, twice,
Rual Chhand twice, Bhagwati Chhand twice and Rasawal,
Harbolna and Ek Achhri only once. The entire musical
composition is presented with the following metric units :
18 NITNEM
(a) Chhape Chhand 1

(b) Bhujang Pryat Chhand 2-28
(c) Chachri Chhand 29-43
(d) Bhujang Pryat Chhand 44-61
(c-1) (Tera Jor) Chachri Chhand 62-63
(d) Charpat Chhand 74-78
(e) Rual Chhand 79-86
(f) Madhubhar Chhand 87-93
(g) Bhagwati Chhand 103-132
(c2) Charpat Chhand 142-144
(h) Rasawal Chhand 145-149
(i) Bhagwati Chhand 150-160
(f) Madhubhar Chhand 161-170
(j) Harbolmana Chhand 171-184
(c3) Ek Achhri Chhand 189-196
The musical network of the conceptual ensemble is

constituted as follows :
a b c d c1 b d e f c b c g c c2 h I f j b c3 b
NITNEM 19
With the help of a small number of basic musical sub-

ensembles extended compositions are realised with a series of
permutations and combinations. Apart from the opening
Chhape Chhand, we have basically two main metric forms,
the Bhujang Pryat Chhand, which always spreads over a large
canvas of formal and conceptual domain, and the Chachri
Chhand that seems to play the role of an interlude to quicken
the pace of the rhythm. We have slight variations on Chachri
Chhand in Ek Jor Chachri Chhand and Charpat Chhand, c1
and c2. It has not been mentioned in our notation but one can
also envisage a similar, though not identical, variation
patterns in Rasawal, Bhagwati, Madhubhar corresponding the
Bhujang Pryat Chhand. The over-all musical ensemble of Jāp
Sāhib may be presented as :
a b c1 b b1 b2 b3 c b c b4 c c2 b5 b6 b7 b c3 b
This arrangement is significant from the point of view of

the gradual manifestation of the Discourse which ultimately
surcharges the formal resonance responsible for the
conceptual realisation of the Cosmology of Jāp Sāhib. This
perfect correspondence between form and content renders it
impossible to be interpreted in any other idiom. This incessant
permutation and combination of formal utterances and
musical notes on the one hand, and, innumerable synonyms
employed for various conceptual integrations keep on
transforming the initial significance of the vocables. There are
also one-word adjectives or qualificators in Chachri, Charpat
and Ek Achhri Chhand whose signification is realised only in
20 NITNEM
the paradigmatic structures as their syntagmatic propositions

often do not cross the threshold of semantic nuclei they are a
part of .
At the conceptual level, the rhythmic movement (44-61)
emphasises the ultimate Essence of all creation. It covers all
animate and inanimate objects, all institutions of nature and
culture, all systems of secular and spiritual meditations :
namo chandr chandre

namo bhān bhāne
namo gīt gīte
namo tān tāne (47)
namo yog yogešwraη parm sdhe

namo rāj rāješwraη parm bridhe (51)
Salutations to the Moon of all moons, to the Sun of all suns, to

the Rhythm of all rhythms, to the Yogi of all yogis, to the
Sidha of all sidhas, to the King of all kings, to the Greatest,
who is Just, Generous, the Lord of all spirits, good or evil, to
the Invisible, to the Unsurpassed, beyond praise or passion,
who dominates every world, who is the Existence of all. In
other words, HSe is the Cause and Essence of every being and
every activity, physical or mental. He is all that and yet not
circumscribed by any. It is in a way a commentary on all
social, cultural, political and religious systems which function
because He allows them to vibrate but He is the Lord of all,
His domination is unquestionable. He is thus above all these
human institutions. He is not only the Cause of their existence
NITNEM 21
but also and primarily the Reason of their movement, their

transformation, and at times, their annihilation. In a word,
nothing other than He is sacrosanct. They are because He is,
but He is not because they are.
It is followed by a simple two verses Tera Jor Chachri
Chhand (62-63) where there are assertive syntagmatic
propositions of His being fearless, mysterious, who pervades
all earths and oceans and yet who has no country or costume,
who is the Lord of the universe but who has no visible form.
These linear syntagmatic notes must be placed within the
ongoing paradigmatic movements for the emergence of their
significance. These verses serve as an interlude and also as
rhythmic accelerators, These horizontal vibrations interact
with the vertical thrust of Bhujang Pryat Chhand which
conceptually pervades the entire Discourse.
The Bhujang Pryat Chhand (64-73) is a conceptual
continuation of earlier verses (44-61). We witness here new
combinations of notes already introduced to be a part of new
structures of signification. For example, we have the refrain,
gīt gīte in 47 and in 68. In the earlier verse, the Essence of
rhythmic music was integrated with the Essence of sun and
moon referring to a cosmological rhythmic composition that
holds the universe. In the new structuration of 68, we have
Music as the kernel semantic nucleus around which are woven
the Love of all longings, the Anchor of all moods and the
Lord of all senses. It is an affair of psychic interpolation, a
mental complex interacting with changing moods and
seasons, a state of mind set in the ever-changing celestial
environment. In this conceptual context, it is also a question
22 NITNEM
of the ultimate Knowledge, the Supreme Power, who subdues

all, who controls the whole universe (70), and who imbibes in
Himself all miracles and mysteries (73). The conceptual
movement is from the physical to the metaphysical, from
psychic vibrations to the sovereignty of mind. This is
followed by another interlude in Charpat Chhand (74-78) :
amrit karme
amrit dharme
a'lakh yoge
a'čal bhoge (74)
It emphasises both Action and Intellect, both Law

and Light. He is now Immortal Actor, unbridled
Law but also Universal Union. He is Generous,
Wise and also the Universal Light, the Source of all
life and strength, all discipline and dependence.
The Rual Chhand (79-86) describes the God of
Guru Gobind Singh in all glory and splendour, a
God to be meditated upon, a God to be followed in
action and spirit, a God of renewal and revolution,
a God of the Baptism of the Sword. He is
meditated upon in the fourteen worlds, the First
Person, the Prime Mover, the Purest Form, the
Perfect Being. He is the Creator and Destroyer of
all (83), He is Self-created, Mysterious, beyond
praise or parallel, the Annihilator of all tyranny
and temptation, the Master of all Action (85).
NITNEM 23
The Guru’s God is not only the Treasure of

virtues and magnanimity, Madhubhar Chhand
(87) but also represents the surest of actions and
ideal deeds. He is the Eternal Light (91) and
honoured by all ascetics as the Purest Light and
Invincible Majesty (92). In this conceptualisation,
virtue and action go side by side. Purity of light
and majesty are coordinated in a single meditative
reflex. Even though He is the Eternal Presence
(98), He is beyond deed or desire, and this
presence or existence is not born of a woman
(100). This simultaneity within and without, this
corresponding presence and absence combines the
physical and the metaphysical perceptions. This
imaginative reconstruction of conceptual
constructs is very significant from the point of view
of secular participation. It leads to a transparent
path where there is no binding of empirical reality
yet it does not ignore it. He continues to be the
Redemptor of all sins, the obvious this-worldly
actions, the Cause of all deeds (109).
And, the most significant of all epithets is
probably the fact that in every Utterance, He is the
Most Discerning, He is the Master of Word (120).
Obviously, the Cosmic Word that creates the
universe and the human world that interacts with
it in both the earthly and the heavenly spheres can
be perceived by a human being. It is only because
this mental activity is possible that the historical
24 NITNEM
progression can be envisaged. It is especially so,

for He is the Cognition of all beings, the Enemy of
all evil and the Faith of all humanity (123). And, all
the same, He is beyond all description or design,
the most Enlightened, the most Splendid (132).
In Bhagwati Chhand, he is Transparent, Pure
and Omnipresent (154), and above all, the Word
of every tongue, the Master of every destiny (155),
within every reach, in Perfect harmony, the
Recognition of all, the Beloved of every soul (156),
the Most Graceful Gesture (158). It is interesting to
note that again and again there is emphasis on the
power and the transparency of the Word. This
Cosmic Word brings harmony and grace, it is an
Utterance, it is a Gesture. It is a coordinating link
between the body and the soul, between the
physical and the spiritual, between nature and
culture. The world within and the world without
are linked together when this Word is uttered,
when it becomes an integral part of the musical
ensemble being constituted in the conceptual
universe.
In Bhujang Pryat Chhand (185-88), we are
referred back to Truth, Light and Knowledge. He is
the Prime Action, and both Truth and Light, and,
Darkness and depth are due to Him. It is through
Knowledge that we have the cognition of our
universe that enables us to control and conquer it.
The faculty of discerning is the basis of all
NITNEM 25
distinction between light and darkness, between

right and wrong. This incisive knowledge precedes
the Utterance, the Word, the Language. Before
action, there is meditation. Before practice, there
is perception.
In this Cosmology, Guru Gobind Singh presents
a correspondence and concordance between the
physical and the metaphysical, between the
secular and the spiritual. It is a sovereign cosmos
whose Knowledge is indivisible but whose
realisation is within human comprehension. The
disciple can perceive this Cosmology and
participate in the splendour of its cosmic forces. It
presents a possibility of interaction between
History and Cosmology, a possibility that can
mankind.
