Appendix 5
If it could be writ, it would have been, but the writer thereof be none. 0 Nanak. say but this, the Lord is great, in His knowledge He is alone.
23 Worshippers who praise the Lord know not His greatness, As rivers and nvulets that flow into the sea know not its vastness.
Mighty kings with domains vaster than the ocean, With wealth piled high in a mountainous heap Are less Lhan the little ant That the Lord's name in its heart dolh keep. Infinite His goodness, and the ways of exaltation; Infinite His creation and His benefaction; Infinite the sights and sounds, infinite His great design; Infinite its execution, infinite without confine. Many there be that cried in pain to seek the end of all ending, Their cries were all in vain, for the end is past underStanding. It is the end of which no one knoweth, The more one says the more it groweth. The Lord is of great eminence, exalted is His name. He who would know His height, must in stature be the same. Ht. alone can His own greamess measure. 0 Nanak. what He givc-s we must treasure.
25 Of His bounty one caPnot write too much, He the great Giver d<'o,;ires not even a mustard seed; Even the mighty beg at His door, and others such Whose numbers can ll!'\'f'r be conceived. There be those who rc<-<'i\'c but arc self.indulgent, Others who get bul t,ave no gratitude. There be the foolish whose bellies are never filled, Others whom hunger's pain doth ever torment. All this comes to pass as Thou hast willed. Thy will alone breaks mortal bonds, No one else hath influence.
