Within the mind are gems, jewels and rubies, if you listen to the Guru’s Teachings, even once.
Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self.
- Guru Nanak

Science and Sikhism
Sikhism states that God created this Universe billions of years ago. The Universe including the Earth has been evolving since. Furthermore, this is not the first time God created this Universe, He has done so many times. The life not only exits on Earth alone but many other planets.
Scientists have found that there are billions of galaxies, each galaxy containing billions of starts and millions of planets revolving around those stars with millions of moons revolving around those planets. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has approximately 200 billions stars and millions of planets from which few are known. There are billions of galaxies like ours in the universe and this is just now being realized by modern science, where as Sikh Scripture mentioned it long before its discovery.
Scientists are slowly attempting to unravel the creation of God but the whole creation is so vast that currently it is beyond what humans can explore. Scientists study the creation of God and try to comprehend the mysteries of His creation. The more they learn, the more they are amazed. Some spend their entire life studying God’s creation and yet they are unable to find His limits. However, when one meditates on God, God Himself unfolds the mysteries and reveals the galaxies, the stars, and all of His creation.
The religious text of Sikhism is the Guru Granth Sahib. It is a collection of hymns (shabda) or baani that describe the qualities of God and why one should meditate on God’s name.
Yet what is so special about this? The Guru Granth Sahib is combined with the science of the cosmos, galaxies and all the eternal truths about space and the Universe. Now it’s been heard that modern day scientists and scientists in NASA have acknowledged and realized the essence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and NASA hold the full Guru Granth Sahib with English translations.
The power and limit in this religious text is not to convert, no force. But with love shall everyone soon realize the truth and grace behind the Guru Granth Sahib.
