Nothing is static or fixed. Everything is fleeting and impermanent. It is the first mark of existence. It is the ordinary state of affairs. Everything is in process. Everything—every tree, every blade of grass, all the animals, insects, human beings, buildings, the animate and the inanimate—is always changing, moment-to -moment. The dynamic nature of things has been articulated in Gurbani as: Far ru fir va kambi pa jae ja phi. Cre kund dd raha kith nhi. ||102|| AGGS, Fareed, p 1383.
