Sri Guru Granth Sahib
ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ; ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
There is but one God whose name is true, the Creator, devoid of fear and enmity, immortal, unborn, self-existent; by the favour of the Guru.
॥ ਜਪੁ ॥
ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ; ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ ॥
Repeat His Name
The True One was in the beginning; the True One was in the primal age. The True One is now also, O Nanak; the True One also shall be.
ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ; ਨਾਨਕ. ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥

ਸੋਚੈ. ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ; ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥
Pauri 1
By thinking I cannot obtain a conception of Him, even though I think hundreds of thousands of times. Even though I be silent and keep my attention firmly fixed on Him, I cannot preserve silence. The hunger of the hungry for God subsideth not though they obtain the load of the worlds. If man should have thousands and hundreds of thousands of devices, even one would not assist him in obtaining God. How shall man become true before God? How shall the veil of falsehood be rent? By walking, O Nanak, according to the will of the Commander as preordained.
ਚੁਪੈ. ਚੁਪ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ; ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ ॥

Pauri 2
By His order bodies are produced; His order cannot be described. By His order souls are infused into them; by His order greatness is obtained. By His order men are high or low; by His order they obtain preordained pain or pleasure. By His order some obtain their reward; by His order others must ever wander in transmigration. All are subject to His order; none is exempt from it. He who understandeth God's order, O Nanak, is never guilty of egoism.

Pauri 3
Who can sing His power? Who hath power to sing it? Who can sing His gifts or know His signs? Who can sing His attributes, His greatness, and His deeds? Who can sing His knowledge whose study is arduous? Who can sing Him, who fashioneth the body and again destroyeth it? Who can sing Him, who taketh away life and again restoreth it? Who can sing Him, who appeareth to be far, but is known to be near. Who can sing Him, who is all-seeing and omnipresent? In describing Him there would never be an end. Millions of men give millions upon millions of descriptions of Him, but they fail to describe Him. The Giver giveth; the receiver groweth weary of receiving. In every age man subsisteth by His bounty. The Commander by His order hath laid out the way of the world. Nanak, God the unconcerned is happy.
