Ok I've haven't been on this site like forever now. So this is my way of getting back on.
I have a friend who was reading SGGS and she pointed out the 9 continents in SGGS.
I'll paste the whole pauri, below. I want to know what you guys think. To my knowledge there are only 7 continents. I know some say that some continents should be considered one, but that means there are less than 7 continents. So, where do these 9 continents come from.

[SIZE=+1]जे जुग चारे आरजा होर दसूणी होइ ॥[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Jė jug cẖārė ārjā hor ḏasūṇī ho*ė.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Even if you could live throughout the four ages, or even ten times more,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]still, if the Lord does not bless you with His Glance of Grace, then who cares? What is the use?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]कीटा अंदरि कीटु करि दोसी दोसु धरे ॥[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Among worms, you would be considered a lowly worm, and even contemptible sinners would hold you in contempt.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]O Nanak, God blesses the unworthy with virtue, and bestows virtue on the virtuous.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]No one can even imagine anyone who can bestow virtue upon Him. ||7||[/SIZE]
