ਰਮ ਖੰਡ ਕਾ ਏਹੋ ਧਰਮੁ ॥ ਗਿਆਨ ਖੰਡ ਕਾ ਆਖਹੁ ਕਰਮੁ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਵੈਸੰਤਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕਾਨ ਮਹੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਬਰਮੇ ਘਾੜਤਿ ਘੜੀਅਹਿ ਰੂਪ ਰੰਗ ਕੇ ਵੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੀਆ ਕਰਮ ਭੂਮੀ ਮੇਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਧੂ ਉਪਦੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਇੰਦ ਚੰਦ ਸੂਰ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਮੰਡਲ ਦੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਸਿਧ ਬੁਧ ਨਾਥ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਦੇਵੀ ਵੇਸ ॥ ਕੇਤੇ ਦੇਵ ਦਾਨਵ ਮੁਨਿ ਕੇਤੇ ਕੇਤੇ ਰਤਨ ਸਮੁੰਦ ॥ ਕੇਤੀਆ ਖਾਣੀ ਕੇਤੀਆ ਬਾਣੀ ਕੇਤੇ ਪਾਤ ਨਰਿੰਦ ॥ ਕੇਤੀਆ ਸੁਰਤੀ ਸੇਵਕ ਕੇਤੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਅੰਤੁ ॥੩੫॥
Translation in English :
The stage described above is the stage of Dharma (performing righteous deeds and reaping their fruit); now let us depict the stage of knowledge (deep insight into God‟s creation)
Herein we realize that there are innumerable worlds, with countless atmospheres (airy regions surrounding them), innumerable oceans, fairy regions, many Kahans (Lord Krishnas) and numerous Shivas. (Each earth having its own lord Krishna and Shiva).
There are countless Brahmas engaged in creating beings of various forms and colours. There are innumerable earths on which persons reap the fruit of their karma and countless high mountains on which Yogis and Rishis dwell.
There are numberless Dhru Bhagats and numberless Narads who show the path of meditating on the Divine Name to them. There are innumerable Indras (the kings of Devtas), countless Moons and Suns; and countless worldly regions. There are countless Sidhs (who have attained occult powers), Budhas (persons who have reached the region of true reason), countless Naths (masters among Sidhs), and countless Devies (Damsels of high and immaculate character).
There are innumerable Devtas, Rakhsas, Munies (Rishis) and innumerable oceans containing invaluable pearls and all kinds of precious things.
There are innumerable classes of creation [(i) from eggs, (ii) from mother‟s womb, (iii) from perspiration, (iv) from earth], countless languages, and numberless kings of men. There are countless Shastras and countless persons who follow the paths given therein. Sayeth Nanak their number is beyond human comprehension.
In Pauries 34 to 37 Satguru Nanak gives us the various stages through which a searcher after truth has to pass. First being the performance of righteous actions i.e.
1. Straightforward and truthful behaviour in all human activities.
2. Seeing one‟s own faults and the good qualities of others.
3. Sweetness in speech and manner.
4. Seeing all persons as one‟s own self without any distinction of caste, creed or colour.
5. Thankfulness, contentment with whatever naturally comes to us.
These virtues coupled with meditation on the Divine name Hari-Kirtan lead the searcher after truth into the sphere of knowledge (Gyan), the second stage. His vision becomes far-reaching and he realizes that God‟s Universe is unlimited. There are innumerable solar systems with their suns, moons, Brahmas, Vishnus, Shivas, Avtars. In short, he realizes the infinitude of God‟s creation.
