Apne mun vadiyayiyan mang ke toon chahna eyn uchcha hona; Nindya nafrat vair ch pal ke toon chahna eyn suchcha hona. Murh murh makke kashi ja ke toon samjhen papi dil dho laan; Kar kar punn daan din raati chain di neendar chahven saun lan. Karman ne kujh kar nahin sakna guru di sharnin aana paisi; Kahe avtar guru de dar te apna sees jhukana paisi. |

O' man, you wish to get exalted, by invoking self-praise; You wish to become pure, by nurturing your-self in criticism, hatred and animosity; You wish to cleanse your sinful heart by repeated visits to places of pilgrimage like Makka and Kashi; You wish to get peace by performing acts of charity day and night. Rites and rituals shall be of no avail, and you shall have to seek the shelter of the True Master; Avtar says, you shall have to bow your head at the divine door of the True Master. |
