Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 175

Teri kudrat da he data ant kise nahi paya ey;
Geeta granth te bedan ne vi tera hi jas gaya ey.
Laasani laafani daate kul siftaan ton baahira eyn;
Duniyan de lai gupt ey bhavein bhagtan de lai jaahira eyn.
Hukum tere naal is maya ne jeaan nun bharmaya ey;
Husan jawani da de chakma chakkran de vich paya ey.
Ik til da vi aklaan vale kar sake vistar nahin;
Teri mahima tuhiyon jane tera paravar nahi.
Manmukhan nun saar na teri bhagtan ne pehchan liyai;
Kahe avtar guru ton jis ne rabba tera gyaan liyai.

O' great God, none has been able to measure the extent of Thy vast creation;
The holy scriptures - the Gita, the Adi Granth and the Vedas, all have sung Thy glory.
Matchless and immortal donor, Thou art above all attributes;
To the world Thou art hidden but manifest to devout.
It is under Thy command that the materialistic world allures human beings;
And the fascination of beauty and youth keeps them confused.
Men of intellect could not illustrate Thy greatness even a little bit;
Thou alone knoweth Thy greatness, Thou art dimensionless.
The wayward do not know Thee, but the devotees have recognized Thee;
Avtar says, they are the ones, O' God, who have attained Thy knowledge from the
True Master.

Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, wayward person could not know you, but a person who received your grace, becomes a devotee by linking with the TrueMaster.
No-one has been able to measure the extent of your (God’s) vast creation. The holy scriptures - the Gita, the Adi Granth and the Vedas, all have sung your glory. You are incomparable and immortal. You may be hidden to the world, but you manifest (appear) to a devotee. It is under your command that the materialistic world attracts human beings. And the fascination of beauty and youth keeps them confused. Men of intellect could not illustrate your greatness even by a bit. You only know your greatness, your art is dimensionless.
The way-wards do not know you, but the devotees have recognised you.
Babaji says, devotees are the ones, who have attained God knowledge from the True Master.
