Guru Nanak, the first of the Sikh Gurus, travelled far an wide to teach his message of ik onkar meaning one God. Here is one of his beautiful Hymns about the Guardian of the soul.
Passage
As a herdsman guardeth and keepeth watch over his cattle,
So God day and night cherisheth and guardeth man and keepeth him in happiness.
O Thou compassionate to the poor, I seek Thy protection; look on me with favour.
Preserve me in this world and the next.
Wherever I look there art Thou contained; guard me, O Guardian.
Thou art the Giver, Thou art the Enjoyer, Thou art the support of the soul.
Max Arthur MacAuliffe. The Sikh Religion. Oxford University Press, 1909.
