Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 274

Pooja path daan pun bhavein jeevan bhar koi karda rahe;
Lahevanda samajh ke sauda nis din chatty bharda rahe.
Hora khatar apne sir te lakkhan dukhrhe jarda rahe;
Kasht uthaye nhera dhoye ram ram nit karda rahe.
Poora murshad je nahin milya kaaraj ik vi sarna nahin;
Avtar mile gur poora jis nun us ne jammna marna nahin.

One may keep on worshipping (deities), reciting holy scriptures making donations in cash and kind throughout his life;
He may keep on taxing himself in religious ceremonies, considering the same as profitable.
He may keep on suffering in numerous ways, simply to follow others;
He may keep on torturing himself, groping in the dark and repeating the name of God (on his own).
He will not achieve any object unless he finds the True Master;
Avtar says, the one who finds the perfect True Master, he shall no more enter the cycle of birth and death.
