- synopsis
- (Translated as in The True Name, Vol 2 on CD-ROM)
- The sutra
- There is no end to his virtues,
- Nor to their narration.
- There is no end to his works and his bounty,
- And endless what he sees and hears.
- There is no knowing the secrets of his mind;
- There is no beginning or end to it.
- So many struggle to know his depth,
- But none has ever achieved it.
- No one has ever known his limits;
- The further you look, the further beyond he lies.
- The lord is great. His place is high,
- And higher even is his name.
- Nanak says: One only knows his greatness
- When raised to his heights,
- By falling under the glance
- Of his all-compassionate grace.
- His compassion is beyond all description.
- The lord's gifts are so great he expects nothing in return.
- However great a hero or warrior, man keeps on begging.
- It is difficult to conceive the countless numbers who go on asking.
- They indulge themselves in desires and dissipate their lives.
- And others receive, yet deny it.
- They go on suffering from their hunger,
- Yet will not take to remembrance
- O lord, these too are your gifts.
- Your order alone gives freedom or bondage.
- Nobody can debate this fact.
- He who indulges in useless babble
- Realizes his folly when struck in the face.
- He alone can know himself,
- And only the rarest can describe him;
- He bequeaths the quality of his state to whomever he chooses.
- Nanak says, he is the king of kings.
