Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 18

|
Aap hi apni jane data sabh nun denda rahnda eye;
Eh gal apne muh ton lekin virla hi koi kehnda eye.
Ohi ohi milda sabhnun jo jo vi eh kehnda eye;
Milda eye jo kehnda eye jo kehnda eye mil rehnda eye.
Jaat ilahi kaayam daayam bhagat ehnun nirankar kahe;
Eho jane eho samjhe bhaee re avtar kahe.

The Supreme Benevolent Himself knows His divine ways and keeps on providing all;
But this fact is acknowledged only by some rare one.
Everybody gets only what God ordains;
One must receive what God wills and what God wills one receives.
The Divine Beings is an eternal entity and the devotee calls Him the Formless One-Nirankar;
Avtar says, O’ brother, only God knows and understand His ways.

Meaning
God, who is above all and is the Supreme Donor, Himself only knows His ways.He keeps on feeding one and all. But, only a few and rare people acknowledge this benevolence. One gets only as much as is ordained by Him. One gets what He wills and what He wills is certainly bestowed upon men. The Divine Entity i.e. the God Himself is eternal, and the devotee calls Him the Formless God. Avtar says, He is omniscient and understands all.
