The Meaning of "Ik Onkar" — Japji Sahib Mool Mantra — Sri Guru

The Meaning of "Ik Onkar" — Japji Sahib Mool Mantra — Sri Guru

The foremost verse of Japji Sahib, as well as of Sh. Guru Granth Sahib Ji, commonly known as the “Mool Mantra” comprises the first few words that were recited by Guru Nanak Dev Ji when He came out of His Samadhi. In this verse, He defines the formless God-consciousness, its characteristics and how it can be experienced. Here God is the timeless, formless, all-pervading ‘Energy’ and not a mortal being bound by time or space.

Everything is a manifestation of a single source of energy irrespective of their outer forms. And if we start getting into multiple forms, there will always be conflict. Thus, Guru Nanak Dev Ji preached ‘Ik Onkar’ as the first words of the Mool Mantra, emphasizing Oneness as the only path.

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 frolic and grace.
