Living on the mountain, I suffer such great thirst; when I see Him, I know that He is not far away.
ਡੂਗਰਿ ਵਾਸੁ ਤਿਖਾ ਘਣੀ ਜਬ ਦੇਖਾ ਨਹੀ ਦੂਰਿ ॥

Sri Guru Granth Sahib, translated by Sant Singh Khalsa, is the complete English rendering of the eternal scripture and living Guru of the Sikh faith — a vast collection of hymns, poems, and prayers composed by Sikh Gurus, Sufi saints, and Hindu bhaktas, all celebrating the one formless God. The Granth is unique among world scriptures in its inclusion of voices from multiple traditions, united by the common experience of divine love. This translation is an essential resource for anyone who wishes to study Sikhism or encounter the extraordinary spiritual poetry of this tradition.
One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.
We have been given this human life to understand the all-pervading, omnipresent God. This knowledge can only be given by someone who has themselves realized God. Life becomes truly happy only after meeting such a God-realized person.
There are two ways: one of knowledge and one of action. Action without knowledge, although it may be good, is ignorant and imperfect, but knowledge, even if it be unaccompanied by action, is glorious and noble.
May God and the Eternal Wisdom grant us to remain equally immovable and unalterable with Himself. Amen.
