AVICHAL ALLAH AVICHAL KHAALAK

Post by faisall667 »

ejee haphat chij mere khaalak siraji
so bi rehann-haaraa eji......................................3

Seven things have been fashioned by my Creator, and those are the ones which endure.

ejee ek aras ne dujaa te kuras
trijaa tul mijaan eji........................................4

The first is His heaven, the second His throne, the third the scales and balance.

ejee chothaa lohaa pa(n)chamaa kalamaa
chhatthaa dojak jaanno eji...................................5

The fourth is the tablet, the fifth the pen, and know that hell is the sixth.

ejee saatmaa behesht sunno mere bhaai
so amar thaan vakhaannu(n) eji...............................6

The seventh is paradise. Listen, my brother, as I praise that everlasting abode.


What is the difference between Heaven and Paradise, because according to this Ginan, Peer states it as two separate creations of God?

Avichal Allah Aveechal khalaq - Haft Chiz

This is how I would interprete the 7 things as mentioned by Peer.

His heaven is the entire creation. Creation is regarded as heaven because it is His manifestation and is meant for our ultimate good.
His throne is the seat of his authority over creation.
Scales and balance are His instruments of answerability and justice.
The tablet and pen are instruments of His signs and guidance.

Paradise and hell are products of our interaction with the above five objects of his creation. The first five are 'objective' and the last two are 'subjective'.
