Time is the only God; the First and the Last, the Endless Being; the Creator, the Destroyer; He who can make and unmake. God who created angels and demons, who created the East and the West, the North and the South; How can He be expressed by words? III. Numerous Mahomets have there been, and multitudes of Bruhmas, Vishnoos, and Sivas. Thousands of Peers and Prophets, and tens of thousands of saints and holy men: But the chief of Lords is the one Lord, the true name of God. O Nânuk! of God, His qualities, without end, beyond reckoning, who can understand? IV. Many Bruhmas wearied themselves with the study of the Veds, but found not the value of an oil seed. Holy men and saints are sought about anxiously, but they were deceived by Maya. There have been, and there have passed away, ten regent Owtârs, and the wondrous Muhadeo. Even they, wearied with the application of ashes, could not find Thee. V. He who speaks of me as the Lord, him will I sink into the pit of hell! Consider me as the slave of God; of that have no doubt in thy mind. I am but the slave of the Lord, come to behold the wonders of creation. VI. Dwell thou in flames uninjured, Remain unharmed amid ice eternal, Make blocks of stone thy daily food, Spurn the earth before thee with thy foot, Weigh the heavens in a balance, And then ask of me to perform miracles.

Simruts, Shasters, and Veds, differ in many things; not one does he heed. O God! under Thy favour has all been done, nought is of myself. VIII. All say that there are four races, But all are of the seed of Bruhm. The world is but clay, And of similar clay many pots are made. Nânuk says man will be judged by his actions, And that without finding God there will be no salvation. The body of man is composed of five elements; Who can say that one is high and another low? IX.
