Shabd
and Truth are Synonymous Shabd
is nothing but Absolute and Abstract Truth in Its conceret form. It is an eternal and unchanging principle of
God's Power, working out His divine Will in all directions. Like Truth Itself, it was in the beginning
where there was nothing else, it was the beginning of each cycle of creation
and It shall exist forever and forever. Guru
Nanak tells of It as follows: The
Word is the only symbol of Truth, And
can be known and experienced through a perfect Master. *58 Guru
Amar Das and Guru Arjan say of It: Bani
or Shabd is Truth personified, O
love this Truth with all your heart and soul.
*59 GURU
AMAR DAS Listen,
o friend, to the all-pervading Voice of God, The
Master has given you all True Word of God.
