One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਤਿਆਗਿ ਸਗਲ ਸਿਆਨਪਾ ਭਜੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰੁ ॥
ti-aag sagal si-aanpaa bhaj paarbarahm nirankaar.
Renounce all your cleverness and remember the Supreme, Formless Lord God.
ਏਕ ਸਾਚੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਸਗਲ ਦੀਸੈ ਛਾਰੁ ॥੧॥
ayk saachay naam baajhahu sagal deesai chhaar. ||1||
Without the One True Name, everything appears as dust. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Renounce all your cleverness, and remember the Supreme, Formless One.
Without the One True Name, everything appears as dust.
Drop the cleverness and remember the Formless One — without it, everything is just dust.
Two clean instructions: "renounce all your cleverness" (scheming gets you nowhere with the One, cf. Shabad 96), and "remember the Supreme, Formless Lord." And the measure: "without the One True Name, everything appears as dust." Apart from the Name, all the world's substance is just dust.
A Question to Sit With
What looks solid and important that might really be dust without something deeper?
