ਗੋਤਮਿ ਤਪੇ ਬਿਚਾਰਿ ਕੈ ਰਿਗਿ ਵੇਦ ਕੀ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਈ ।

gotam tape bichaar kai rig ved kee kathaa sunaaee |

Speculating seriously, seer Gotama has put forth the story of the Rgveda.

ਨਿਆਇ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰਿ ਕੌ ਮਥਿ ਕਰਿ ਸਭਿ ਬਿਧਿ ਕਰਤੇ ਹਥਿ ਜਣਾਈ ।

niaae saasatr kau math kar sabh bidh karate hath janaaee |

After churning the thoughts, in the Nyaya school, God has been defined as the efficient cause of all the causes.

ਸਭ ਕਛੁ ਕਰਤੇ ਵਸਿ ਹੈ ਹੋਰਿ ਬਾਤਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਚਲੇ ਨ ਕਾਈ ।

sabh kachh karate vas hai hor baat vich chale na kaaee |

Everything is under His control and in His order, no order whatsoever of anybody else is accepted.

ਦੁਹੀ ਸਿਰੀ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਆਪਿ ਨਿਆਰਾ ਕਰਿ ਦਿਖਲਾਈ ।

duhee siree karataar hai aap niaaraa kar dikhalaaee |

He is in the beginning and at the end of this creation yet in this Shastra he is shown as separate from this creation.

ਕਰਤਾ ਕਿਨੈ ਨ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਈ ।

karataa kinai na dekhiaa kudarat andar bharam bhulaaee |

No one has seen or known this creator, and rather people have remained indulged in the expansive delusions of prakriti (nature).

ਸੋਹੰ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਛਪਾਇ ਕੈ ਪੜਦਾ ਭਰਮੁ ਕਰਤਾਰੁ ਸੁਣਾਈ ।

sohan braham chhapaae kai parradaa bharam karataar sunaaee |

Not realising that soham parbrahm, the jiv is mistaken in understanding Him as a man (full of fallacies).

ਰਿਗਿ ਕਹੈ ਸੁਣਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਹੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਨ ਦੂਜੀ ਰਾਈ ।

rig kahai sun guramukhahu aape aap na doojee raaee |

The Rgveda exhorts the knowledgeable people that supreme Lord is everything and none else can be compared with Him.

ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਬਿਨਾ ਨ ਸੋਝੀ ਪਾਈ ।੯।

satigur binaa na sojhee paaee |9|

Without true Guru this understanding cannot be attained.
