Pauri 37

Force is the attribute of the realm of action. Incomparable are they who dwell therein. There are very powerful warriors and heroes They are filled with the might of Ram.- There are many Sitas in the midst of greatness, Their beauty cannot be described- They die not, neither are they led astray In whose hearts God dwelleth. There dwell congregations of saints; They rejoice; the True One is in their hearts. God dwelleth in the true realm. He looketh on its denizens with an eye of favour, and rendereth them happy. There are continents, worlds, and universes. Whoever trieth to describe them shall never arrive at an end. There are worlds upon worlds and forms upon forms. They fulfil their functions according to God's orders: God beholding and contemplating them is pleased. Nanak, to describe them would be impossible.

Pauri 38

Make continence thy furnace, resignation thy goldsmith, Understanding thine anvil, divine knowledge thy tools, The fear of God thy bellows, austerities thy fire, Divine love thy crucible, and melt God's name therein. In such a true mint the Word shall be coined. This is the practice of those on whom God looketh with an eye of favour. Nanak, the Kind One by a glance maketh them happy.

Slok

The air is the guru, water our father, and the great earth our mother; Day and night are our two nurses, male and female, who set the whole world a-playing. Merits and demerits shall be read out in the presence of the Judge. According to men's acts, some shall be near, and others distant from God. They who have pondered on the Name and departed after the completion of their toil, Shall have their countenances made bright, O Nanak; how many shall be emancipated in company with them!

Rahiras · So Dar · Guru Nanak, Rāg Asa

What is that gate, what is that mansion where Thou, O God, sittest and watchest over all things? How many various and countless instruments of Thine are played! How many Thy musicians, How many Thy musical measures with their consorts, and how many singers sing Thee! Wind, water, fire sing Thee; Dharmraj singeth at Thy gate; The recording angels, who know how to write, and on whose record Dharmraj judgeth, sing Thee; Ishar, Brahma, and Devi, ever beautiful as adorned by Thee, sing Thee; Indar seated on his throne and the gods at Thy gate sing Thee; Sidhs in meditation sing Thee; holy men in contemplation sing Thee; The continent, the true, and the patient sing Thee; unyielding heroes sing Thee. The Pandits and the supreme Rikhis, reading their Veds, sing Thee in every age. The lovely celestial maids who beguile the heart in the upper, middle, and nether regions sing Thee. The jewels created by Thee with the sixty-eight places of Hindu pilgrimage sing Thee. Mighty warriors and heroes sing Thee; the four sources of life sing Thee. The continents, the worlds, and the universe made and supported by Thy hands sing Thee. God, the saints who please Thee and who are imbued with Thy love sing Thee. The many others who sing Thee I cannot remember; how could Nanak recount them? That God is ever true, He is the true Lord, and the true Name. He who made this world is, was, and shall be; he shall neither be born nor die. He who created things of different colours, descriptions, and species, Beholdeth His handiwork which attesteth His greatness. He will do what pleaseth Himself; no order may be issued to Him to the contrary. He is King, the King of kings, O Nanak; all remain subject to His will.
