- synopsis
- (Translated as in The True Name, Vol 1 on CD-ROM)
- The sutra
- If the body is covered with dirt,
- Water can wash it away.
- If the clothes are soiled and polluted,
- Soap and water can wash them clean.
- Even if mind is filled with evil,
- Love for his name can dye you in his hue.
- Saint or sinner are no empty words;
- All our actions have been recorded.
- Man sows and he himself reaps the harvest.
- Nanak says, by divine order are some saved and others reborn.
- By visiting holy places, austerities, compassion, and good deeds,
- You may gain respect from others;
- But he who listens to God and meditates on his name,
- His heart is filled with love and he is deeply cleansed.
- All virtues are yours, o lord. Nothing is in me.
- Without virtuous actions, no true devotion exists.
- Yours is the only true word. You are the sound.
- You are Brahma. Your power is magnificent and self-directing.
- What was that time, what date, what season,
- What month when you assumed form and creation began?
- The pundits knew it not,
- Or they would have written it in the holy books;
- Neither did the Kazis know,
- Or they would have put it in the Koran;
- Nor did the yogis know the day, the time,
- The season and month when it happened.
- The creator who creates all creation,
- He alone knows.
- How should one praise him and express his greatness?
- How can one know him?
- He is supreme. His name is great.
- Everything happens as he ordains.
- Whoever credits himself as worthy,
- Gains no honor before him.
