Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 188
Dhrigakaar hai ohnan taayeen jo vi kufar kamavange;
Sach na jekar dil vich vasya paak kivein ho jaavange.
Dhrigakaar hai us jeevan nun pave na jo rabbi daat;
Suk sarh jandi hai oh kheti hove na jitthe barsaat.
Dhrigakaar hai shoom di daulat jo na varti ja sake;
Dhrigakaar hai sundar tan te peey nun jo na bha sake.
Dhrigakaar hai ohnhan nun jo andron bahron gande ne;
Saadh sharan jo aa na sakkan bhaag unhan de mande ne.
Jinhan nun cha rab vekhan da vadde bhagan wale ne;
Avtar jinhan nun satgur labhbha rehmat godi pale ne.
Meaning
Cursed are those who prefer to be non-believers; Unless the Truth dwells their mind, how can they become pure? Cursed is that life which does not attain this divine gift; The crop that does not receive the rainfall shrinks and gets decayed. Cursed is the wealth of an accumulator that cannot be put to any use; Cursed is the beautiful body that fails to please the beloved one. Cursed are those who are impure from within and without; Those who fail to seek shelter of the True Master are the unfortunate ones. Fortunate are those who have the urge to perceive God. Those who have found the True Master are the ones who are brought up in the lap of divine Grace.
