Akaal Moorat

His Form (Existence) Transcends Time

 

He is beyond time, therefore without death or change. There are some

who believe that God created the world and then perished.

Philosophically, too, one may argue that if God created the world

from Himself, then He must have changed or perished to become the

world, just as a seed perishes to become a tree, or a as milk

disappears to form curds.

 

By addressing the Truth as Akhal Moorat Guru Nanakji is pointing out

that God has not become the Creation, but is merely appearing as the

Creation - just as a rope in the twilight appears to be a snake. Thus

this universe is not real, it is superimposed on the Reality. It is

like a dream and nothing in the dream can harm the waker.

 

In the same way, God, the Reality, can never perish or die. Besides,

He is the Creator of time, and since He was there before time, He is

beyond time. He, the Lord who is Consciousness, is Trikaala Darshi,

He is the 'Seer of Time'. He is aware of time, so He cannot be 'in'

time. In other words, He is not conditioned by time.

 

Just as we said earlier, one who is watching the cars pass by is not

inside any of the cars. Since the lord is beyond time, and therefore

beyond death, He is totally fearless and therefore all-powerful.

Also, He has no enmity with anyone. He is all compassionate. Indeed,

one who surrenders to such a lord in devotion has no reason to fear

anything.

 

Time is a concept of the mind. When you are happy and enjoying

yourself, when your mind is all at peace, time seems to pass quickly.

When you are sad or bored and your mind is agitated, time seems to

slow down. In sleep, when the mind has enfolded itself, there is no

concept of time Therefore are you not aware of time when you are

awake, as well as of its absence when you are asleep?

 

You who are the witness or the seer of time are beyond time. The

Self, the Aaatmaa, I of the nature of consciousness, which is aware

of the mind and of time, is unconditioned by time and therefore

imperishable. I, the Aatmaa, can never die. What perishes is the ever-

changing body, not I.

 

Shri Krishna in the Geeta says that this Aatmaa cannot be destroyed

by any weapon or by any of the forces of nature. Wind cannot dry it

nor water wet it nor fire burn it. The Self is ever indestructible

and eternal.

 

He who knows this Aatmaa becomes fearless and without hatred. Shri

Guru Arjan Dev was thrown alive into a cauldron of burning oil, Shri

Guru Teg Badhur-ji tortured and beheaded. Did They even for a moment

have any fear or hatred? No, because the Lord of the universe who is

the Indweller, the Self, who is Akaal Moorat, is also Ajuni.
