Countless fools, blinded by ignorance.
Countless thieves and embezzlers.
Countless impose their will by force.
Countless cut-throats and ruthless killers.
Countless sinners who keep on sinning.
Countless liars, wandering lost in their lies.
Countless wretches, eating filth as their ration.
Countless slanderers, carrying the weight of their stupid mistakes on their heads.
Nanak describes the state of the lowly.
I cannot even once be a sacrifice to You.
Whatever pleases You is the only good done,
You, Eternal and Formless One. ||18||
Revealed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the 15th century, Jap Ji Sahib is the deepest exegesis of God. A universal hymn that opens with the Mool Mantar, has 38 pauries and 1 salok, it describes God in the purest form.
