Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 157
Jhoothi duniyan jhoothi nagri jhootha raja te sansaar;
Jhoothe dheeyan putt kabeel jhoothe sare rishtedaar.
Koorh ey khadha koorh ey peeta jhootha sauna lat pasaar;
Jhoothi roojhi duniyan jhoothi jhootha sara karobaar.
Jhooth ey sona jhooth ey chandi jhoote laalach te hankaar;
Jhoothi maya jhoothi chhaya jhooth ey jinna sabh sansaar.
Jhootha swasaan da eh bhaanda jis te tun karnai itbaar;
Jhooth vihaajhen jhooth hi tolen jhootha tera kul bhandaar.
Jhoothe sare mahal marhiyan jinhan te tun maan Karein;
Kahe avtar eh nira jhooth ey jis paase tun dhyan Karein.
Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji speaks about the temporary things. Whatever we see with these eyes are all temporary and don’t have any life. They will perish with time. False is the world and false are the kings and their kingdoms, False are the daughters, sons and tribes and false are all relatives. False is what you eat and drink, and false is your care-free sleep. False is the world engaged in falsehood, and false are all its dealings. False is the gold and silver, and false is the greed and pride of their possession. False is the material wealth, false is its shadow, and the whole world is false. False is this body which you rely upon. False is what you deal and dispense, and false is all your store-house. False are your mansions and palaces, which you are so proud of. All that you see around is absolutely false and is not here to stay.
