Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko je prabh darshan paya nahin; Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko je gun jeebha gaya nahin. Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko jekar maan ganvaya nahin; Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko jekar sees jhukaya nahin. Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko gur charni chit laya nahin; Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko daswan dwara paya nahin. Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko man nun je samjhaya nahin; Sabh ton vadda paap ey loko poora gur je dhyaya nahin. Sabh ton vadda pun hai eho jeeaan da kalyan kare; Kahe avtar oh daani vadda jo naam bhandara daan kare. |

The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not perceiving God; The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not singing the glory of God. The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not shedding one's ego and pride; The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not bowing one's head (at the feet of the True Master). The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not focussing the mind on the feet of the True Master; The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not realizing the Tenth Dimension. The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not correcting the erring mind; The greatest sin lies, O' men, in not contemplating on the perfect True Master. The greatest virtue lies in redeeming human beings; Avtar says, he is the greatest donor, who distributes the treasure of the Divine Name. |
Meaning
Here, Baba Avtar Singh Ji talks about the greatest sins done in human life which could lead a man nowhere.
He says that the greatest sins that a man could commit would be in singing Gods praises without knowing /realising Him. It is also when he does not shed his ego and bow his head. The greatest sin would be if man doesn’t focus his mind on the Holy feet of the True Master and not knowing the tenth dimension (God). The greatest sin is also when man doesn’t know the True Master completely.
Therefore, He says that the greatest act/deed is to help other human beings in knowing this God. And man’s greatest charity would lie in spreading this precious Treasure of True knowledge of God (Divine name).
