His bounty is supreme. Magnanimous, as He is, He showers His gifts on all alike whether good or bad. All have their share, none is ignored. He knows us all, better than we do, and bestows on us what is best for us. But the greatest of His bounties is the gift of the Eternal Song. When He confers it on Man, out of His Grace, it makes Him the king of kings.
Stanza XXV
His benevolence is manifold, and none can record it; He is the giver of all, coveting nothing in return; many are the warriors, who are beggars at His door, and many more, whose number is beyond reckoning; many are those who, misusing His gifts, wallow in sensuality; many who receiving His gifts, deny Him; many the fools who only eat and enjoy, but think not of the donor. Any many lie afflicted by hunger, misery and pain, which too are Thy gifts, oh Lord. Bondage and salvation both go by Thy Will; none else has any say therein. If some dare claim otherwise, he shall soon have cause to repent of his temerity. He knows all and bestows accordingly. But few there be that realise this. Oh Nanak, on whom He bestows His Gift of the Song Celestial, is the king of kings.
