If I knew Him, should I not describe Him ? He cannot be described by words.
My Guru hath explained one thing to me-
That there is but one Bestower on all living beings ; may I not forget Him !
VI
If I please Him, that is my place of pilgrimage to bathe in ; if I please Him not, what ablutions shall I make ?
What can all the created beings I behold obtain without previous good acts ?
Precious stones, jewels, and gems shall be treasured up in thy heart if thou hearken to even one word of the Guru.
The Guru hath explained one thing to me -
That there is but one Bestower on all living beings ; may I not forget Him !
VII
Were man to live through the four ages, yea ten times longer ;
Were he to be known on the nine continents, and were everybody to follow in his train ;[1]
Were he to obtain a great name and praise and renown in the world ;
If God's look of favour fell not on him, no one would notice him.
He would be accounted a worm among worms, and even sinners would impute sin to him.
- ↑ That is, to show him respect.
