Kai samajhde swaas chadha ke dhyaan lagaana bhagti ey; Kai samajhde ghar dar chhad ke janglin jana bhagti ey. Kai samajhde athsath teerath ja ke nhana bhagti ey; Kai eh aakhan dholak chhaine hi kharhkana bhagti ey. Kai eh aakhan mitthi sur naal geet gunana bhagti ey; Kahe avtar suno re santon rab nun pana bhagti ey. |

Many think that holding the breath and sitting in trance is devotion; Many think that leaving hearth and home and going to the forests is devotion. Many think that bathing at the sixty eight places of pilgrimage is devotion; Many think that beating the drum and ringing the cymbals is devotion. Many think that singing hymns in melodious tunes is devotion; Avtar says, listen O' saints, the true devotion lies in the realization of God. |
