Tan man dhan tinnan ton uchchi oh sewa kehlandi ey; Jo hove nishkam nirichchhit te satgur nun bhandi ey. Desh kaal te samein mutabak satgur jivein chalanda ey; Hukam ehda sir matthe dhar ke gursikh chalda janda ey. Jag vich maan oh gursikh panda dargahin parwaan hove; Kahe avtar ohda har vele rakha eh bhagwan hove. |

Greater than (the pledging of) body, mind and wealth is the service; Which is rendered selflessly, without any motive and has the approval of the True Master. As the True Master ordains according to the time, place and the situation; The disciple obeys the command, and goes on acting accordingly. Such a disciple is glorified in this world and occupies a place of honor in the Kingdom of God; Avtar says, such a disciple is protected by God all the time. r. |
Meaning
Here we can understand the kind of service that one should do. Service done with body, mind and wealth is not supreme. Rather a service which is done without any desires and has the approval of the True Master is considered the best. A true saint follows the commands and teachings of the True Master, which might vary according to the time, place and the situation. Such a disciple is glorified in this world and occupies a place of honour in the Kingdom of God, Such a disciple is protected by God all the time.
