Na jap andar na tap andar na milya na milna ey;
Dil da kamal guru de bajhon na khilya na khilna ey. Bin manjhi sagar vich berha na thilya na thilna ey; Bina sui de paata kaprha na silya na silna ey. Eh mil sakda eh milda ey murshad de ik ishaare naal; Kahe avtar ik chhin vich mildai murshad jekar hoye dayaal. |

None has realized God and none shall realize God by mere muttering of prayer or by penance;
The lotus of one's heart has never blossomed, nor shall it blossom, without the True Master. The ship has never been launched, nor it can be launched, without the captain; The torn garment has never been stitched, nor it can be stitched, without a needle. God can be realized and is realized just with one gesture of the True Master; Avtar says, God can be realized in a moment, if the True master is pleased. |
Meaning
None has realized God and none shall realize God by mere whispering of prayer or by self-punishment. The lotus of one's heart has never flourished, nor it will blossom without the True Master. The ship has never been launched, nor it can be launched without the captain. The torn garment has never been stitched nor it can be stitched without a needle. In the same way God can be realized and is realized just with one signal of the True Master. Baba Avtar singh ji says that God can be realized in a moment, if the True master is pleased.
