Hymn (Sung in Punjabi)
Ramkali 5th Guru Some call on the Lord, 'Ram, Ram' and some 'Khuda'. Some serve Him as 'Gosain', and some as 'Allah' He is the Cause of causes and is Bountiful Some talk of the Extender of mercy and some of the Merciful. (Pause). Some bathe at the Hindu's pilgrim stations and some make the pilgrimage to Mecca. Some perform Hindu worship and some bow their heads in the Muslim fashion, Some read the Vedas and some the Muslim religious books. Some wear blue robes and some white. One calls himself Muslim and one calls himself Hindu. One desires the paradise of the Muslims and one the heaven of Hindus. Says Nanak, he who realises God's will knows the secret of the Lord Master.

Hymn (Sung in Pubjabi)'
Parbhati
Firstly God created light and then, by His Omnipotence, made all the mortals. From the One light has welled up the entire universe. Then who is good and who is bad ? O men, my brethren, stray ye not in doubt. Creation is in the Creator and the Creator is in Creation. He is fully filling all places. (Pause). Clay is but the same, but the Fashioner has fashioned it in various ways. There is no fault with the vessel of clay, nor is there any fault with the potter. He, the One True Lord, is amidst all and it is in His will that everything is done. Whosoever realises the Lord's will, he alone knows the One Lord and he alone is said to be his slave. The Lord is invisible and can be seen not. The Guru has blessed me with sweet molasses of His Name. Says Kabir, my doubt has been dispelled and I now see the Immaculate Lord every where.
