Bol kabol na tol ke bolein mittha kade na bolein tun; Heeryan varga jeevan tera vich kaudiyan rolein tun. Akhaan agge rab khalota akkhan mool na kholein tun; Jhoothi teri karni dharni jhootho jhooth hi tolein tun. Dooje te ungal kyon karnai jadd apni hee saar nahin; Ram ram kar ram nahin milda dil vich jekar pyar nahin. Jamm da fanda gal vich paisi je paya nirankar nahin; Nij ghar vaasa kiddan hosi jekar ghar di saar nahin. Kithon lekha parh sunasain bahi taan teri kori ey; Kahe avtar suno re prani sir te jhooth di bori ey. |

O' man, you don't weigh and measure your words, before you speak and you never
utter sweet words; You are wasting your life as precious as diamonds, for the sake of cowries. God is right in front of you, but you do not open your eyes; False is what you do, and false is all that you dispense. Why do you raise an accusing finger towards others, when you are not conscious of your own faults? You cannot realize God by mere repetition of God's name-Ram, Ram, unless you have love for Him in your heart. You shall find the noose of death around your neck, if you have not realized the Formless God; How would you find a place in your real abode, unless you have known it? From where shall you read out, when the book of account (of deeds) is blank? Avtar says, listen O' man, what you are carrying on your head is the bundle of falsehood. |
Meaning
Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, one who doesn’t have love for anybody, he cannot realise God and this way he is just wasting the precious human life. Precious because he achieved it after a long time.
O' man, you don't weigh and measure your words, before you speak and you never utter sweet words. You are wasting your life as precious as diamonds, for the sake of cowries. God is right in front of you, but you do not open your eyes. False is what you do, and false is all that you dispense.

You cannot realize God by mere repetition of God's name Ram - Ram, unless you have love for Him in your heart. You shall find the noose of death around your neck, if you have not realized the Formless God.
By speaking wrong and doing wrong, we are wasting this life, and mere repetition of the God name will not help. We are living a false life like this.
