Chant And Meditate:
|
True In The Primal Beginning. True Throughout The Ages.
|
True Here And Now. O Nanak, Forever And Ever True. ||1||
|
By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.
|
By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.
|
The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.
|
Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end.
|
So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away?
|
O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||
|
By His Command, bodies are created; His Command cannot be described.
|
By His Command, souls come into being; by His Command, glory and greatness are obtained.
|
By His Command, some are high and some are low; by His Written Command, pain and pleasure are obtained.
|
Some, by His Command, are blessed and forgiven; others, by His Command, wander aimlessly forever.
|
Everyone is subject to His Command; no one is beyond His Command.
|
O Nanak, one who understands His Command, does not speak in ego. ||2||
|
Some sing of His Power-who has that Power?
|
Some sing of His Gifts, and know His Sign and Insignia.
|
Some sing of His Glorious Virtues, Greatness and Beauty.
|
Some sing of knowledge obtained of Him, through difficult philosophical studies.
|
Some sing that He fashions the body, and then again reduces it to dust.
|
Some sing that He takes life away, and then again restores it.
|
Some sing that He seems so very far away.
