Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 258

Sant hai jehrha swaas swaas vich rab da naam dhyanda ey;
Sant hai jehrha dooje da dukh khin de vich mukanda ey.
Sant hai jehrha sabh ghalan ton kirpa kare bacha deve;
Sant hai jehrha chhin de andar ang sang rab vikha deve.
Rab nun ehnan santan kolon vakhra koi nahi keh sakda;
Bande ton avtar jiven parchhavan vakh nahin rah sakda.

True Saint is the one, who remembers God's Name by every breath;
True Saint is the one, who ends the suffering of others in no time.
True Saint is the one, who by his kindness rids people from the rigors of religious practices;
True Saint is the one, who reveals God all around in a moment.
None can separate God from these devotee saints;
Avtar says, it is just as man's shadow cannot remain isolated from him.
