Such a Creator is Eternal, and none else,' replied Guru Nanak. He is in every form (Immanent), and He is also aloof from all forms (Transcendent). Subtle and Abstruse, He is the Source of all bliss. How can such beings be called true or eternal? The Creator alone is Eternal. Because of their own weakness they are susceptible to vice, and suffer consequences of their deeds, which make them dance like frivolous monkeys. They are subject to lust which leads to trouble. They are subject to pride and attachment. 'Listen, Nath Ji, the created beings take birth, and are subject to death. Are they not? Attributes of the Creator and of those created by Him should be the same.

'True in the beginning (Primal Time), True in all ages True now and ever will He be True.'Īfter hearing the sloka Gorakh said, 'Well, then all the living beings that exist, are also true and eternal. In answer to this question Guru Nanak recited the first sloka of the Japu Ji. 'What are God's attributes?' questioned Gorakh Nath. 'Well, then who is your guru?' asked Gorakh Nath. Gorakh Nath invited the Guru to become a yogi, wear yogi's dress with earrings, and to adopt a guru, for no one should be without a guru. The Guru recited Jap Ji, the Sidh Gosht, and several other hymns. Then followed Guru Nanak's discourse with Gorakh Nath.

The Sidhas reciprocated the salutation in the name of the Adi Purkh, and welcomed him, saying 'You have obliged us with your visit. Guru Nanak called on them and offered his greetings with due courtesy, and invited them to a meeting. Traditional Sikh historians suggest the meeting in this Sakhi may have taken place at Achal Batala. Guru Nanak At Summer Parbat (Mountain) And The Naths/ SidhasĪnother story of Guru Nanak mentions that during his travels Guru Nanak reached the Summer Parbat (mountain) which was the habitat of nine Naths and eighty-four Sidhas, besides six Jatis (celebrated ascetics).
