Japuji Saheb - you are the formless

five are the tests and the ministers;
they gain shelter and respect at his door;
they decorate the king's court.
attention is the guru of the five.

whatever you will say, consider well first,
for the doings of the doer are impossible to assess.
religion upholds the earth and is born of compassion.
establish contentment and create the balance.

whoever understands becomes the truth
and knows the burden religion bears
there are many worlds and many more beyond them;
what power assumes their weight?

creatures of all forms and colors are created by his writ,
but only few know the rule to tell it.
can anyone write the account of this mystery?
if it were written how great it would be.

what strength and power!
how beautiful his appearance!
how great his charity;
who can conceive it?

his single word creates this vast expanse --
infinite mountains and rivers, the animate and inanimate.

how shall i think about it?
however much i offer myself could never be enough!

whatever pleases you, o lord, is best for me.
you are the formless, the almighty -- you who abide forever!
