Naam de tul kujh hor na tulda naami di vadiyayi ey; Beant athhaah agochar rachna jinhen rachai ey. Kan kan andar naam da vasa naam bina na raai ey; Disdi te andisdi duniyan naam de vich samayi ye. Suraj chann taryan andar naam di hi rushnaai ey; Aan jaan di is jag andar naam ne khed banai ey. Aape gupt te aape zaahir duniyan kaare lai ey; Rang barange maya de ik jaal ch duniyan faahi ey. Uchcha suchcha te vadbhagi jihne tainun pachhata ey; Kahe avtar eh naam vihoona anhan jag da khata ey. |

The greatness of God is that nothing weighs equal to His Name; God, who is limitless, fathomless and imperceptible and who is the creator of the universe. His Name (God) dwells in every particle, and there is nothing without Him; Visible and invisible world is assimilated in His Name. The glow in the sun, the moon and the stars is that of His Name only; The cycle of birth and death in this world is also the handiwork of His Name. He Himself is hidden as well as manifest, and the world is kept engaged in one activity or the other; The world is entangled in the net of materialism, so colorful and so fascinating. Exalted, pure and most fortunate is the one O' God, who has recognized Thee; Avtar says, bereft of the Divine Name, this world is in utter darkness. |
Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, the divine name exists everywhere, in every particle of this creation. People who know this are lucky, otherwise world continues to stay in darkness.
The greatness of God is that nothing weighs equal to His Name. God, who is limitless, fathomless and imperceptible and who is the creator of the universe. His Name (God) dwells in every particle, and there is nothing without Him. Visible and invisible world is assimilated in His Name. The glow in the sun, the moon and the stars is that of His Name only. The cycle of birth and death in this world is also the handiwork of Him. He Himself is hidden as well as manifest, and the world is kept engaged in one activity
or the other. The world is entangled in this colourful and fascinating net of materialism. Exalted, pure and most fortunate is the one who has recognised you.
On the other hand, bereft of the Divine Name, this world is in utter darkness.
