Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ang 9

As men have heard so all call Thee great; But hath any one ever seen how great Thou art? Thy worth cannot be estimated or described; They who seek to describe it are absorbed in Thee O my great Lord, deep and profound, brimful of excellences, None knoweth the extent of Thine outline. Though all meditative men were to meet and meditate upon Thee, Though all appraisers were to meet and appraise Thee— They who possess divine and spiritual wisdom, priests and high priests— Yet they could not describe even a small portion of Thy greatness. All truth, all fervour, all goodness, The excellences of perfect men, Cannot be obtained in their perfection without Thee. If Thy grace be obtained none can be excluded; Of what account is the helpless speaker? Thy storerooms are filled with Thy praises. Who can prevail against him to whom Thou givest? Nanak, the True One arrangeth all.

Guru Nanak, Rāg Asa

If I repeat the Name, I live; if I forget it, I die; It is difficult to repeat the true Name. If man hunger after the true Name, His pain shall depart when he satisfieth himself with it. Then how could I forget it, O my mother? True is the Lord, true is His name. Men have grown weary of uttering Even an iota of His greatness; His worth they have not discovered. If all men joined and tried to describe Him, That would not add to or detract from His greatness. God dieth not, neither is there any mourning for Him; He continueth to give us our daily bread which never faileth. His praise is—that there neither is, Nor was, nor shall be any one like unto Him. As great as Thou art Thyself, O God, so great are Thy gifts. Thou who madest the day madest also the night They who forget their Spouse are evil persons: Nanak, without His name they are naught.
