Their Dharma (the power of treading on the right path) is above all price. Thecompany of the saints in which the above-mentioned qualities are acquired is priceless.Reason (power of sifting truth from falsehood) which rises above all attachment isacquired by His saints, is a very sensitive balance, and the fine power of judging right andwrong is the set of its weights.The spontaneous and selfless teachings of the Satguru are a priceless gift forreaching the stage of self-realization (God consciousness). This stage which reveals itselfon the forehead of God conscious persons is also above all valuation. The grace of theSatguru is priceless and His commandments are also invaluable. These priceless giftsand attributes cannot be described in words as they are beyond the reach of humanintellect. They can be realized but cannot be expressed in human language. His saintswho have meditated on Him in complete devotion declare, that the union with Him isindescribable. It can be realized and felt but no words can express it.The Vedas and Puranas have sung of Him. Many a learned persons have studiedand expressed their views in spoken language. Many a Brahmas and Indras – (There areinnumerable worlds and numberless Brahmas and Indras) have tried to explain Hiscreation. The Lord Krishna and his pure damsels sing of Him in concert. Shivji and theSidhs (persons who have acquired occult powers) have talked of Him.Many a persons upon whom He has bestowed the stage of Budhi (knowledge ofthe past, present, and future) have spoken about Him. The Rakhshas (men of evilcharacter) and the Devtas (men of pure and good character) sing of Him. Many aMunishers (learned persons engaged in devotion and study) have tried to give expressionto their thoughts. All these have attempted to do so, but they have not succeeded inexpressing His greatness. All have said their say and passed away. Even if God doublesthe number of above mentioned persons and classes they would not be able to describeHim in human language.He is as great as He wills to be, Sayeth Nanak. He is the source of all Truth andHe alone can know Himself. The Infinite Divine within, and the Divine without canblend themselves through meditation on the Divine name, singing His praises and theunselfish service of His creation, but no human intellect can find words to express thisunion and at-one-ment. If any foolish and talkative person says that he can do so, then inthe company of the wise (God conscious persons) he shall be considered as the greatestduffer among duffers.
Which is the doorway, and of what kind is the mansion in which O Lord You sitand supervise the whole created Universe.
