204 Numberless Thy Jogis whose hearts are indifferent to the world ; Numberless the saints who ponder on Thine attributes and divine knowledge ; Numberless Thy true men ; numberless Thine almsgivers ; Numberless Thy heroes who face the steel of their enemies ; Numberless Thy silent worshippers who lovingly fix their thoughts upon Thee. What power have I to describe Thee ? So lowly am I, that I cannot even once be a sacrifice unto Thee. Whatever pleaseth Thee is good. O Formless One, Thou art ever secure.

Numberless are the fools appallingly blind ; Numberless are the thieves and devourers of others' property ; Numberless those who establish their sovereignty by force ; Numberless the cut-throats and murderers ; Numberless the sinners who pride themselves on committing sin ; Numberless the liars who roam about lying ; Numberless the filthy who enjoy filthy gain ; Numberless the slanderers who carry loads of calumny on their heads ; Nanak thus describeth the degraded. So lowly am I, I cannot even once be a sacrifice unto Thee. Whatever pleaseth Thee is good. Formless One, Thou art ever secure.
