Japuji Saheb - in the realm of truth the formless abides

power is the expression in the realm of grace;
except this, there is nothing else.

in it are the great warriors and heroes;
there rama abides in his fullness.
and in its glory also seeta abides,
whose form is beyond words.

those in whose heart rama abides
never die nor can be cheated.

there live many devotees of many different worlds;
keeping the true name in their hearts they enjoy bliss.
in the realm of truth the formless abides.

he creates the world and exults in it with his vision.
with him are the continents, the suns, the universes;
and they all defy description.

there are worlds upon worlds, and creations upon creations.
all works according to his order.

seeing all this and thinking of it, he flowers in happiness,
nanak says, to describe him is like chewing on iron.
