The Almighty is Omnipresent
Guru Nanak, the perfect mentor, is the sustainer of the earth and inhabitant
of all hearts.
He is kind and potent, and redeemer of sinners
My mind and being, at down and dusk,
My head and forehead, in all reverence,(1)
Serve as offering to their perfect preceptor,
Thousands of times in humility;(2)
Because he has produced the gods out of the humans,
And bestowed honours upon these mortals of dust.(3)
All the acclaimed ones are just the dust of his feet,
And all the gods and the goddesses pay tribute to him.(4)
May there be thousands of Suns and Moons glittering,
But without that preceptor, the whole universe remains in darkness.(5)
The pious and ideal preceptor is the embodiment of godly resplendence,
And, consequently, he keeps on predominating my heart.(6)
