The foremost verse of Japji Sahib and Sh. Guru Granth Sahib Ji, known as the “Mool Mantra,” were the first words recited by Guru Nanak Dev Ji after His Samadhi. This verse defines the formless God-consciousness, its characteristics, and how it can be experienced. God is depicted as timeless, formless, and all-pervading Energy. Guru Nanak Dev Ji preached ‘Ik Onkar’ to emphasize Oneness as the path, avoiding conflicts from multiple forms. In this excerpt from the first Satsang of Japji Sahib, Sri Guru explains the meaning of “Ik Onkar,” the Mool Mantra, and recites it with divine grace.
