Bharpur khalawan andar vekho pasri baitha jo datar; Waqt de hakam ne hai rakhya nan ese da hi nirankar. Jo kujh disdai nazrin aondai ese da hai sagal pasar; Deen dukhi bhagtan da rakhshak iho srishti sirjanhar. eho berhi chappu eho ap samundar khevanhar; Ved kitaban de nahin vass da be-ant eh be-shumar. Jaap taap ton vass na hove ghalan di na jakrhe tar; Kahe avtar mile je satgur lahe parda chhin vichkar. |

Behold the Supreme Benevolent God, He is permeating the vast void; The True Master of the time has named Him as the Formless One-Nirankar. All that is visible and we can see, is His manifestation; Saviour of the poor and the suffering, protector of this devotees, He is the creator of this universe. He is the boat, the oars, the ocean and the oarsman; Boundless and infinite, He cannot be realized by Vedas and other Semitic texts. He cannot be attained by repetition of divine name, asceticism or by performing rites and rituals; Avtar says, if one meets the True Master, he can remove the veil of ignorance in a moment. |
