Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 247

|
Sangi sathi sabh matlab de ikko hai gamkhar guru;
Duniyan de sabh rishte jhoothe sachcha rishtedar guru.
Dhan daulat dhalda parchhavan kaayam daayam daataar guru;
Baki sabh sahaare jhoothe sachcha hai patvaar guru.
Aise satguru nun jo pooje us di shaan nirali ey;
Kahe avtar guru bin sabh kujh lagda khali khali ey.

All the friends and companions are selfish, only the True Master is the real sympathizer in sorrow;
All the worldly relations are false, only the True Master is the true relative.
All the riches and wealth are like fleeting shadows, only the divine donor, the True Master is steadfast;
All other supports are false, only the True Master is the true savior.
Matchless is the greatness of the one, who worships the True Master;
Avtar says, without the True Master, every thing in this world looks hollow.
