The deepest layer of Gurbani is its understanding of the cosmos. It posits that the primal, uncaused cause of creation was not a thought, but a vibration — the Ek Oankar . The very first syllable of the Guru Granth, "Ek Oankar," is not a word but a phoneme. "Ek" (One) and "Oankar" (the symbolic representation of the primal sound of the Divine) together assert: The One manifests through vibration.
