I am a sacrifice unto Thee; Thou abidest in Thine omnipotence: Thine end cannot be seen. Thy light pervadeth creatures; creatures are contained in Thy light; Thou fillest inanimate and animate creation. ^[1] Thou art the true Lord; beautiful is Thy praise; he who uttereth it is saved. Nanak uttereth the words of the Creator; what is to be done God continueth to do.

Guru Angad

The Jogis deem it their duty to acquire divine knowledge, the Brahmans to read the Veds, The Khatris to exercise bravery, the Sudars to work for others; But the highest duty of all is to repeat the name of the one God.^[2] He who knoweth the secret of this Is a bright God himself, and Nanak is his slave.

Guru Angad

There is one God, the God of all gods, the Supreme God of souls. He who knoweth the secrets of the soul and of God, Is a bright God himself, and Nanak is his slave.

Guru Nanak

Water remaineth if confined in a vessel ; but it cannot remain without a vessel. The mind controlled by divine knowledge is restrained ; but without a guru there can be no divine knowledge.

1. Also translated Thy power (kala) is inconceivable (a, not, and kalna, to know).
2. Also translated The Jogis speak of divine knowledge, the Brahmans of the Veds; The Khatris of bravery, the Sudars of working for others. All that they speak is concerning the one God.
