Gurbani- Japji sahib- nature / creation

http://www.sikhs.nl/Japjisahib.htm

The lines I want to contemplate on 

Ji jaat rangan ke nav,
Sabhna likya vurhi kalam.

Kudrat kavan kaha veechar,
Varya na java ek vaae. 16

Jin eh likhe tis sir nai,
Jiv furmai tiv tiv pai.

 Jeta kita teta naw,
Vin nave nahi ko thao. 19
Whatever he has created is all his name,
Without his name, there is no place.

Eka mai jagat veai, tin chele parvan.
Ek sansari, ek bhandari, ek laye deeban.30

Lakh lakh gerah aakhiye, ek naam jagdeesh. 32
Chant the name of the creator, a million times, in a session.

Jor na surti gyan vechar.33
One can't do deep meditation or contemplate on god simply by force.

Karmi karmi hoi veechar.
Does this mean that your understanding is dependent on your karma?

Thithe sohan panch parvan.
Nadri karam pave neesan.34

Dharam khand ka eho dharam.
Gyan khand ka aakho karam.

Kete pavan pani besantar, kete kan mahesh, Kete Barme gharat ghariye, roop rang ke vesh
How many Krishna's and Siva's exist!
How many Bhrama's have been creating different creatures!

Ketiya surti, savak kete, nanak ant na aant. 35
How many sit in meditation, how many followers / servants of God!
Nanak says, there is no end to this end.

Gyan-khand me gyan parchand
Tithe naad vinod korh anand.

Saram-khand ki bani roop.
tithe gharat ghariye bahut anup.
In Saram-khand are created beautiful images that can't be described.

Tithe ghariye surat, maat, maan, budh
Thats where the concentration, beliefs, feelings and thoughts are shaped.

Karam-khand ki bani jor
Tithe bagat vaase ke lo
Kare anand sacha man so

Sach-khand vaase nirankar
Kar kar vekhe nadar nihal

Tithe loa loa aakar
