Bin vekhe de ustat karna ambar nun hath pana ey; Bin vekhe de ustat karna putthe raste jana ey. Bin vekhe de ustat karna sachche nun jhuthlana ey; Bin vekhe de ustat karna paani nun agg lana ey. Bin vekhe de ustat karna ag naal pyas bujhana ey; Bin vekhe de ustat karna ainven umar gawana ey. Bin vekhe de ustat karna phoke tarle pana ey; Bin vekhe de ustat karna murh murh auna jana ey. Vekh ke akkhin sifat je kariye taan asli vadiyayi ey; Avtar jinhan mil guru pachhata ohnan sojhi pai ey. |

Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to a cry for the moon; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to proceeding in the opposite direction; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to falsifying the truth; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to trying to set the water on fire; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to quenching thirst with fire; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to wasting human life; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to an exercise in futility; Glorifying God without perceiving Him, amounts to opting for repeated births and deaths. Glorifying God after perceiving Him, amounts to real adoration; Avtar says, those who have realized God through the True Master have attained divine consciousness. |
Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says that the true bliss of praising God comes only after seeing and realising Him.
Praising the Lord without knowing Him is like trying to catch the sky. It is like going in the wrong direction, like making the True One false and killing thirst with fire. If there is no realisation of God it means that we are wasting our life and crying over loudly with the repeated births and deaths.
Therefore, He says that we can love and admire God with all our heart after realising Him. And those who have already realised Him after meeting the True Master are Aware of His presence.
