Vich bharman de pai ey duniyan jor parhan te la rahi ey; Jo vich likhya kann nahi dhardi even magaz khapa rahi ey. Sachchiyan likhtan lahnat paawan parhna kamm nahin aauna ey; Bina guru de gyan nahin hunda birtha janam gawaauna ey. Murshad bajhon duniyan utte kade udhaar nahin ho sakda; Gyaan kade vi murshad bajhon kahe avtar nahi ho sakda. |

Obsessed by superstition, the people of the world are putting in all their energy in
reading (the Holy Scriptures); They do not try to understand what is scribed therein and are straining their brain in vain. The true scriptures curse such people and make it clear that mere reading shall not do; And that divine knowledge cannot be attained without the True Master, to attempt otherwise is just wasting human life. None on earth can be emancipated without the True Master; Avtar says, divine knowledge can never be attained without the True Master. |
