Rh Who can sing His attributes, His greatness, and His deeds? Who can sing His knowledge whose study is arduous ? Who can sing Him, who fashioneth the body and again destroyeth it ? Who can sing Him, who taketh away life and again restoreth it ? Who can sing Him, who appeareth to be far, but is known to be near. Who can sing Him, who is all-seeing and omnipresent ? In describing Him there would never be an end. Millions of men give millions upon millions of descriptions of Him, but they fail to describe Him. The Giver giveth ; the receiver groweth weary of receiving. In every age man subsisteth by His bounty. The Commander by His order hath laid out the way of the world. Nanak, God the unconcerned is happy.

True is the Lord, true is His name ; it is uttered with endless love. People pray and beg, 'Give us, give us' ; the Giver giveth His gifts ; Then what can we offer Him whereby His court may be seen ? What words shall we utter with our lips, on hearing which He may love us ? At the ambrosial hour of morning meditate on the true Name and God's greatness.
