If a person achieves respect by pilgrimage, penance, showing mercy to living beings and by selfless charity, then it is very small. But those who have heard the name of God with love in their heart and have constantly thought about it, they have taken a bath in the pilgrimage of their inner self and have removed their impurities. (That is, that person has cleaned the dirt of his inner soul by merging into Nirankar residing in his heart.) O Sargun Swaroop! All the qualities are in you, there is no good quality in me. Without adopting the qualities of virtue, even the devotion of God cannot be done. O Nirankar! May you always be victorious, you are the form of welfare, you are the form of Brahma. You are truth, you are consciousness and always the form of happiness. When God created this universe, what was the time, what was the time, what was the date and what was the day? Then which season, which month was it, when this expansion happened, who knows all this. Even great scholars, sages, munis etc. could not know the exact time of the expansion of the universe, if they had known, they would have definitely mentioned it in the Vedas or dharmic texts. Even the Qazis could not know the time, if they had known, they would have definitely mentioned it in the Quran etc. Even no Yogi has been able to know the day, season and month of creation of this universe. The creator of this world can only know when this universe was expanded. How can I talk about the wonders of that Akaal Purush, how can I praise him, how can I describe him and how can I know his secret? Satguru Ji says that everyone praises that God by becoming more intelligent than others. But God is great, His name is even greater than that, whatever is happening in the universe is happening because of His doing. O Nanak! If someone talks about knowing His qualities, then he does not get respect in the next world. That is, if any creature boasts of knowing the qualitative secret of that indistinguishable Nirankar, then he does not get respect not only in this world but also in the next world.
