Jap

True in the primal beginning
True throughout the ages
True here and now
Oh Nanak! Forever and ever true

By thinking He cannot be reduced to thought,
Even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times

By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained
Even by remaining lovingly absorbed within

The hunger of the hungry is not appeased,
even by piling up loads of worldly goods

Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks
But, not even one of them will go along with you in the end.

How then can you become truthful?
How then can the veil of illusion be torn away?

Oh Nanak! It is written
that you shall obey the hukam of His command
that you shall walk the way of His will.

-Granth Sahib

Him

In I-ness come, in I-ness go
In Ego born, in Ego die
In Ego smile, in Ego cry
In Ego buy, in Ego sell
And earn and spend in Ego so.

In Ego friend, thou speak the truth,
And then in Ego thee lie
Nor canst thou free of Ego dwell
In merit thou earn, or live in sin
All prophets, hells and heavens spring
From Ego, from vanity.

Behold oh seeker! in everything He who is,
is in Nothing
Thou looked outward in marterial world
And asked for that which shall perish some day
Thou seeked Him in stones and waters, airs and dust
None of which is forever
Where then did ye find the Immortal?
Ye knocked not His door, but everything.

Thou looked not within where he was tortured each day
Absolute, eternal, shapeless, nameless,
formless, changeless and waiting
Immanent intrinsically for all that is- He is
Not in Ego, not in vanity, but in Love within.
