By the Grace of the Lord-sublime, Truth personified & attainable through the Guru’s guidance.”

ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਜਿਨਹਿ ਉਪਾਇਆ ਭਾਈ ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥੁ ॥ ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਭਾਈ ਦੇ ਕਰਿ ਅਪਣੀ ਵਥੁ ॥ ਕਿਨਿ ਕਹੀਐ ਕਿਉ ਦੇਖੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਕਰਤਾ ਏਕੁ ਅਕਥੁ ॥ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਵਿੰਦੁ ਸਲਾਹੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਜਾਪੈ ਤਥੁ ॥੧॥
O Brother ! The True Master, who has created this whole world and controls (the causes of) Putting a11 the beings in various professions (chores) after creation. O Brother ! Let us ( worship (remember) the Lord, who has created the body and soul of the human beings through His power. O Brother ! The Lord – creator is beyond any description, being limitless, but if someone tries to describe Him, it would be rather impossible as He is beyond our comprehension. O Brother ! We should sing the praises of the Guru and the True Lord so that the True form of the Lord could be realised by us. (1)

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਜਪੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਵੰਤਾ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਦਾਨੁ ਦੇਇ ਜਨ ਅਪਨੇ ਦੂਖ ਦਰਦ ਕਾ ਹੰਤਾ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
O my mind ! We should recite the True Name of the Lord, who is the creator of all the beings, and bestows the True Name on his devotees and casts away (is the destroyer of) their ills and afflictions. (Pause)

ਜਾ ਕੈ ਘਰਿ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਭਰੇ ਭੰਡਾਰ ॥ ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਭਾਈ ਊਚਾ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰ ॥ ਜੀਅ ਜੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲਦਾ ਭਾਈ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਸਾਰ ॥ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਭੇਟੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਹਾਰ ॥੨॥ {ਪੰਨਾ 639}
O Brother ! The Lord, who is all-powerful, and has all the nine treasures of the world in the form of True Name with Him, is the Greatest of all and no one could really evaluate His Greatness or Vastness. He is beyond our reach, being limitless and arranges for the sustenance and maintenance of all the beings every day. O Brother ! Let us unite with the perfect Guru, who would enable us to merge with the True Lord through the Guru’s guidance in the company of holy saints. (2)
