Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 244

|
Aalam hove kul ilman da jag nun sabak parhave je;
Haakam da mil jave rutba sabh te hukam chalave je.
Shoorveer vi hove bhara lammi umar guzare je;
Duniyan bhar di daulat hove sukh vi hovan sare je.
Bhanni kaurhi mull nahin paina jo kujh vi oh karda ey;
Kahe avtar bina rab jane murh murh jammda marda ey.

One may be the Master of all branches of knowledge, and may teach all the people of the world;
One may attain the status of a sovereign and command all to obey.
One may be a valiant warrior and have a long life;
One may possess all the wealth of this world and enjoy all comforts of life.
All that he does will be found of no value at last;
Avtar says, he shall undergo the cycle of birth and death unless he has realized God.
