Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 292

Jis nun eh nirankar na chete us bande nun jano murda;
Dhrigakar hai usda jeena naam bina jo firda turda.
Maya de vich leen jo rehnda har vele krijhda te jhurda;
Manmukh kade na rehnda saabat loon de vaangun rehnda khurda.
Naam vihoone saakat taayi badiyan da hi furna furda;
Kahe avtar na taale koi aakh sunaya likhya dhurda.

The one who does not remember God, should be taken as dead;
Cursed is the life of the man who moves about without the Divine Name.
Engrossed in the material world, he always frets and frowns;
The wayward is never stable and goes on corroding like a piece of salt.
Evil strikes the mind of the irrational person devoid of the Divine Name;
Avtar says, nobody can avert what is ordained as divine will, and is the divine utterance (of the True Master).
