das avataar na sikhiaa geetaa gosatt alakh abhevaa |
This mystery was not known even to the ten incarnations (of Visrnu); this mystery is beyond the Gita and discussions.
ਵੇਦ ਨ ਜਾਣਨ ਭੇਦ ਕਿਹੁ ਲਿਖਿ ਪੜਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਸਣੁ ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ।
ved na jaanan bhed kihu likh parr sun san devee devaa |

The deep meditations of the siddhs, naths and even the tanttatras could not cross the teachings and practices of Sikh way of life.

lakh bhagat jagat vich likh na ge gur sikhee ttevaa |

ਸਿਲਾ ਅਲੂਣੀ ਚਟਣੀ ਸਾਦਿ ਨ ਪੁਜੈ ਲਖ ਲਖ ਮੇਵਾ ।
silaa aloonee chattanee saad na pujai lakh lakh mevaa |
This life is similar the licking of the saltless stone but its taste is incomparable even to the millions of fruits.
