Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 213

Rab ey sabh de ang sang vasda janglin ja ke laina kee;
Shah rag ton nazdeek hai vasda hakan maar ke laina kee.
Sehaj avastha vich mil sakdai kasht utha ke laina kee;
Udhron putna edhar lana karam kama ke laina kee.
Ved kateb vi eho kehnde sees jhuka ke milda ey;
Kahe avtar nirankar nun tak ke dil murjhaya khilda ey.

God dwells with all, what for should one go to the forests?
God dwells nearer than the jugular vein, what for should one shout?
God can be realized in normal state of life, what for should one undergo the rigors of
rites and rituals?
The simple process is to uproot (detach) one's mind from that side (matter) and to
Trans-plant (attach) the same this side (God), what for should one perform religious
ceremonies?
The holy scriptures-Vedas and Shastras, also testify that God can be realized by
bowing at the feet of the True Master;
Avtar says, on seeing the Formless God, the withering heart starts blossoming.

Meaning
When God Lives with all, for what reason should one go to the forests? God resides nearer than the most vital part of the body, what is the need of making loud cries? When God can be realized in normal state of life, why should one undergo the strictness of rites and rituals? The simple process is to detach one's mind from the material world and to attach the same to the God, what is the need to perform religious ceremonies or rituals. The holy scriptures-Vedas and Shastras, also says the same that God can be realized by bowing at the feet of the True Master. Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says that, on seeing the Formless God, the shrunken heart starts blossoming.
