Jadon hankaar nun chhadiye udon nirankar milda ey;
Jadon gurbachan nun manniye udon avtar milda ey. Guru di mat de saahven kade hankaar nahin tikda; Jiven hankaar de saahven kade satkaar nahin tikda. Eh tan man jis ne ditta ey is nirankar nun samjho; Na dataan vich ulajh javo asal datar nun samjho. Jhukaya sees main charni taan meri deed hoyi ye; Tera darshan jadon keete taan meri id hoyi ye. Charan satguru de na milde na eh satkaar milna si; Na milna si guru avtar na nirankar milna si. |

As one sheds ego, he realizes the Formless God;
As one trusts the word of True Master (Gurbachan), he meets the Lord Master (Avtar). Pride does not stay where there is divine instruction of the True Master; Just as there can be no respect where there is pride. O' men, understand God, who has bestowed this body and mind; Do not get lost in the material gifts, try to understand the real Donor of the same. As I bowed my head at the feet of the True Master, I saw Thee (God) face to face; And as I saw Thee, it was Eid for me. Had I not got in touch with the feet of the True Master, I would not have found respect; Avtar says, I would have found neither the True Master nor the Formless God. |
Meaning
While being egoless one can realize the formless God. One who follows The True Master can only meets the Lord Master. With the divine knowledge of True Master, ego doesn't have a place. In the same way where there is respect there won't be any ego. These body and mind are given by the lord Master and to understand the Lord Master only a True Master can guide through. Stay away from the worldly attachment and understand the true donor. When I bowed my head at the holy feet of the True Master, I saw the Lord Master and at that very moment happiness sprung over me. One can enjoy the respect and connect with the Lord Master only if one bestow at the feet of the True Master.
