touches the king and pauper alike.
Brahmajñāni suffers, endures all equally, as the earth dug by some and smeared with sandal by others.
Such is the quality of Brahmajñānī as the (burning) power of fire is innate.
Brahmajñānī is purer than the pure, as impurity touches not water.
In the mind of Brahmajñāni shines light, as the sky (shines) above earth.
To the Brahmajñānī friend and foe are equal, Brahmajñāni hath no pride.
Brahmajñānī is higher than the high, but he thinks himself lower than every one.
Those men become Brahmajñānī, O Nanak, whom the Lord Himself makes (such). Brahmajñānī is the dust (of the feet) of every one; Brahmajñānī has gathered (or known) the essence of Aṭmā. Brahmajñāni is compassionate to all; no evil cometh from the Brahmajñānī.
Brahimajñāni always looks upon all equally, on whatever he looks he showers nectar. Brahmajñāni is free from bondage, Brahmajñāni's yoga is pure.
Brahmajñāni's food is wisdom; O Nanak, the meditation of Brahmajñānī is Brahmā.
Brahmajñāni (fixes his) hope on the One, Brahmajñānī doth never perish.
Brahmajñānī is pervaded by humility, Brahmajñānī delights in doing good to others.
