The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 388

When the expansion (of the world) is spread out, (it is done for) the glory of the saints. )( He himself is the owner of both sides (=both worlds).

He himself makes sports, pleasures and frolics.

He himself is given to enjoyments uninterruptedly.

Whom he pleases, him he applies to his own name.

No estimate can be made of him, he is unfathomable, unmeasurable, not to be weighed.

Nanak, his slave, speaks, as he makes (him) speak.

SloJc. 0 Lord of all creatures, thou thyself art existing! Nanak (says): the One is spread out, where is another to be seen?

(1). He himself speaks and he himself is hearing.

He himself is One and he himself is expansion (= multiplicity).

When it pleases him, he produces a creation.

The whole world thou stringest into thy string.

He looks on all things as the same, who knows the truth.

The whole creation he is overcoming, (sajs) Nanak.

He is merciful to the poor, the friend of the friendless.

He is dead, whom he forgets from his mind.

Having given him up where else should one go?

Above all is the One king, in whom there is no darkness.

In whose hand is all the management of the creatures:

Him know (as being) with thee inside and outside!

He is the depository of all excellences, endless and boundless.

Nanak, his slave, is always a sacrifice (to him).

The inward governor is continually contained (iu all).

Wbatever is made by him, of that he thinks.

Whom he pleases, him he unites (with himself).

Who worships (hira) singing the excellences of Hari,

Who trusting in him in his mind obeys him:

By him the One creator is known (says) Nanak.

That man's hope does not remain unfulfilled.

To the servant (of Hari) the service (of Hari) is pleasing.

By understanding (Hari's) order he obtains the highest step.
