Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 12

|
Nirankar hai eho ikko jisda koi akaar nahin;
Jisda urla kandha koi nahin jis da parla paar nahin.
Lakhhan ved kitaban mil ke sift jihdi nahin ga sakke;
Lakhhan tapi tapishwar mil ke bhed na jisda pa sakke.
Chhad sianap apni banda jan gur sharni janda ey;
Kahe avtar kare gur kirpa tan eh samjhin anda ey.

The Formless One-Nirankar is the only One who has no form;
He is the One who has no beginning this side and no end on the other.
Millions of Vedas and other scriptures put together could not describe His glory;
Millions of ascetics together could not know His divine secret.
When man puts aside his own wisdom and seeks the shelter of the True Master;
Avtar says, only with the kind grace of the True Master, can this Nirankar be comprehended.

Meaning
Nirankar is this and only this, one who doesn’t have any form. He is the one who has no beginning and no end. Even Lakhs of Holy scriptures put together cannot sing His glory. Lakhs of sages together could not discover His secret. Only when man shuns the ego of his intellect and surrenders to the True Master, Avtar says, it is by the Grace of the True Master that man is able to comprehend Him.
