Appendix 5 325 He sees and directs, but is by them unseen, That of all is the greatest wonder. Haili and to Thee be salutation. Thou art primal, Thou art pure, Without beginning, without termination, In single form, forever endure. 31. He bath His prayer-mat in every region, In every realm His store. To human beings He doth apportion Their share for once and evermore. The Maker having made doth His own creation view. 0 Nanak, He made truth itself, for He Himself is true. Haili al\d to Thee be salutation. Thou an primal, Thou art pure, Without beginning, aj!hout termination, In single form, forever endure. 32. Were I given a hundred thousand tongues instead of one And the hundred thousand multiplied twentyfold, A hundred thousand times would I say, and say again, The Lord of all the worlds is One. That is the path that leads These the steps that mount, Ascend thus to the Lord's mansion And with Him be joined in unison. The sound of the songs of Heaven thrills The like of us who crawl, but desire to fly. 0 Nanak, His grace alone it is that fulfils, The rest ·mere prattle, and a lie. 33. Ye have no power to speak or in silence listen, To grant or give away. Ye have no power to live or die. Ye have no power to acquire wealth and dominion, To compel the mind to thought or reason; To escape the world and fly.
