In four directions extends Own strengthand places the Hand on the head.Glance of grace bestowed, votary’s pain ended. 1. All-Pervasive, Guru the Earth-Force, protected the servants.Compassionate, forgiving Being embracesand erases all vices. Reflect. Whatever is asked from the Ruler, that’s what is given.Whatever Nanak the votary utters from mouth,becomes eternal here and there. 2. Guru Angad Sahib in Rag Dhanasari | Guru Granth Sahib 681

In four directions extends Own strength
and places the Hand on the head.
Glance of grace bestowed, votary’s pain ended. 1.

All-Pervasive, Guru the Earth-Force, protected the servants.
Compassionate, forgiving Being embraces
and erases all vices. Reflect.

Whatever is asked from the Ruler, that’s what is given.
Whatever Nanak the votary utters from mouth,
becomes eternal here and there. 2.

Guru Angad Sahib in Rag Dhanasari | Guru Granth Sahib 681

ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

ਚਤੁਰ ਦਿਸਾ ਕੀਨੋ ਬਲੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਸਿਰ ਊਪਰਿ ਕਰੁ ਧਾਰਿਓ ॥
ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਟਾਖ੍ ਅਵਲੋਕਨੁ ਕੀਨੋ ਦਾਸ ਕਾ ਦੂਖੁ ਬਿਦਾਰਿਓ ॥੧॥

ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਰਾਖੇ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ॥
ਕੰਠਿ ਲਾਇ ਅਵਗੁਣ ਸਭਿ ਮੇਟੇ ਦਇਆਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਬਖਸੰਦ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

ਜੋ ਮਾਗਹਿ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਤੇ ਸੋਈ ਸੋਈ ਦੇਵੈ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸੁ ਮੁਖ ਤੇ ਜੋ ਬੋਲੈ ਈਹਾ ਊਹਾ ਸਚੁ ਹੋਵੈ ॥੨॥੧੪॥੪੫॥

Sabad is Infinite; we are very finite. This is our understanding at the moment, which was different yesterday and may evolve tomorrow, as we deepen our relationship with the Sabad. In this trans-creation, we have chosen to keep the repeating words in the Sabad same. We aspire to learn and retain the Divine attribute as used in the original Sabad and avoid terms like God or Lord.
