Jo kujh disdai jhooth ee jhooth ey khana peena pana jhooth; Dheeyan puttar kutumb kabeela is naal preet lagana jhooth. Jhoothe mahal jhooth marhiyan jag vich aana jana jhooth; Jhoothe karam dharam ne sare parhna ate parhana jhooth. Jhoothi duniyan vich jo fasya oh loko sansaari ey; Kahe avtar jis sachch pachhata uho hi nirankari ey. |

All that is visible is false, and all that is eaten, drunk or worn is false; The attachment with one's sons, daughters, family and the tribe is false. The palaces and mansions are false, and one's coming to and going from this world is false; All rites and rituals are false, the reading (of holy scriptures) and getting (them) recited is false. Listen O' men, the one who is engrossed in this false world is a worldly person; Avtar says, the one who has known the Truth is a man of the Formless God, a Nirankari. |
Meaning
In this verse Shehenshah Baba Avtar Singh Ji explains us who a materialistic being (Sansari) is and who a Nirankari is. He says that everything that we see around us such as food, drinks, and clothes are all false; they are temporary. The entire world and everything in it is false. Our houses, family, relationships, religion and community all are false. Even our deeds and the cycle of birth and death are false. Praying, reading religious scriptures, and any such acts are also false. Baba Ji says that a person who gets stuck in this false world is a materialistic being (Sansari). The one who knows this One God Nirankar is a Nirankari. Baba Ji says we must not be attached to anything in this world; we must be attached only to Nirankar.
