The Sikh Sect. 171
At the beginning is the True One.
The True One is, O Nanak ! and the True One also will be.
Know, that there are two ways (that of Hindus and that of Musal-
mans), but only one Lord.
By thyself all the creation is produced ; by thyself, having created,
the whole is caused to disappear.
Thou, O Hari, alone art inside and outside ; thou knowest the secrets
(of the heart).
Mutter the name of Hari, Hari, O my heart, by which comfort is
brought about; by which all sins and vices disappear ; by which poverty
and pain cease.
Thou art I, I am thou, of what kind is the difference ? Like gold and
the bracelet, like water and a wave.
In the seven insular continents, the seven oceans, the nine regions,
the four Vedas, the eighteen Puranas: in all, thou, O Hari, art abiding ;
in all thy decree, O Hari, is working.
By the perfect Guru the name of Hari is made firm in me. Hari is
my beloved, my king. If some one bring and unite (him with me), my
life is revived.
Thou art my father, my mother, my cousin, my brother, my protector
in all places. Then what fear and grief can there be to me ? By thy
mercy I have known thee. Thou art my support, my trust. Without
thee there is none other; all is thy play and thy arena, O Lord!
The Lord is my dear friend. He is sweeter to me than mother and
father, sister, brother, and all friends ; like thee there is none other,
O Lord!
Be united with the Lord of the Universe. After a long time this
(human) body was obtained. In some births thou wast made a rock
and mountain. In some births thou wast produced as a pot-herb. In
the eighty-four lakhs (of forms of existence) thou wast caused to wander
about.
No hot wind touches those who are protected by the true Guru. The
Guru is the true creator.
Protected by the Guru he is admitted to the true house and palace (of
Hari). Death cannot eat him.
I am continually a sacrifice to my own Guru.
I am become a sacrifice to my own Lord. From the Veda, from the
book (the Kuran), from the whole world he is conspicuous. The King
of Nanak is openly seen.
Having forgotten all things meditate on the One! Drop false conceit,
offer up (thy) mind and body!
The following are examples of Kabir's sayings quoted in
the Granth:—
Kablr says: I am the worst of all, every one is good except me.
Death, of which the world is afraid, is joy to my mind.
