Satgur ton mati lai ke man hankaar te kabu panda ey;
Kaam krodh lobh te moh de sangal torhi janda ey. Satgur di mati lai ke manuaa dheeraj nun apnanda ey; Satgur di mati lai ke manuaa bhane vich aa janda ey. Satgur di mati lai ke manuaa bairagi ho janda ey; Satgur di mati lai ke eh man tapi tyagi ho janda ey. Satgur di mati lai ke eh man simran vich kho janda ey; Uthde behnde chalde firde har dam naam dhyaanda ey. Poora satguru jisnu milya oh kismet da poora ey; Kahe avtar guru de bajhon har kam rehanda oora ey. |

Taking guidance from the True Master, the mind overcomes ego;
And goes on breaking the shackles of lust, anger, greed and worldly attachment. Taking guidance from the True Master, the mind adopts patience; Taking guidance from the True master, the mind submits to the will of God; Taking guidance from the True Master, the mind rises above worldly attachments; Taking guidance from the True Master, the mind learns to face hardships and to sacrifice; Taking guidance from the True Master, the mind gets absorbed in remembrance of God; And remembers God, while performing normal activities of daily life (standing, sitting, walking and so on). Really fortunate is the one, who finds the perfect True Master; Avtar says, without the True Master every act remains incomplete. |
Meaning
Adopting the preaching ofthe True Master, the mind relaxes and helps in ceasing ego. When the mind is calm and egoless, it is content and pleasant and restricts ones of lust, anger, greed and materialistic pleasures. And when the mind is content and pleasant it learns the art of patience and perseverance. With patience and perseverance the mind stops wandering and rises beyond the worldly thing. When it renounces the worldly things and surrenders itself with the open mind, it accepts the hardship with smile. Mind gets immersed in the remembrance of God while being in daily chores. Fortunate is the one who is associated with the perfect True Master and without the True Master one can't lead a complete life.
