Reejh sake na antaryami puththhiyan sidhiyan chalan te; Reejh sake na antaryami sajde paathan maalan te. Hove na vas kant kade vi mitthiyan sur te taalan te; Hove na vas kant kade vi lakhkhhan jatna ghalaan te. Reejh sake na antaryami lammyan lammyan vaalan te; Reejh sake na antaryami kewal nek khyalaan te. Reejh sake na antaryami geru range bhekhan te; Reejh sake na antaryami bolaan te jaan lekhaan te. Reejh paye je satguru apna taan rab raji ho sakdai; Kahe avtar guru je tutthe zarra ambar chhoh sakdai. |

The omniscient God cannot be pleased by clever designs; The omniscient God cannot be pleased by repeated prostration, recitation of scripturesand the rotation of the beads of rosary; The Lord Master cannot be won over by melodious tunes and rhythms; The Lord Master cannot be won over by numerous modes of worship and sacrifices The omniscient God cannot be pleased by growing long hair; The omniscient God cannot be pleased by mere noble thoughts. The omniscient God cannot be pleased by wearing saffron robes; The omniscient God cannot be pleased by speeches or articles. God can be pleased only if the True Master is well pleased; Avtar says, if True Master is kind and gracious, even a tiny particle can touch the sky. |
Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji talks about the various acts done by human beings to please the Omniscient God, yet they fail to do so.
The omniscient (all prevailing) God cannot be pleased by odd tricks, reciting scriptures or even rotating the beads of rosary (mala). Wearing saffron clothes, speaking/ writing lectures, growing long hair, or mere noble thoughts, cannot please God in any way. The beloved God cannot be won over by tunes or rhythms or even by countless efforts of hard work.
He says that God can be won over if the True master is pleased. And if this is done, then even a tiny particle can reach the sky with the True Masters blessings.
