Ik Oankar constitutes a part of Mul Mantar, the opening verse of the Guru Granth Sahib that states various qualities of Vahiguru, the Divine Being. Guru Nanak Sahib, the founder of Sikhi, postulates the principle of One Force through this unique descriptive. This force is not an exclusive Sikh Divinity, but one that is common to all life and embraces all of creation.
