Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 3
|
|
Sach hai teri arti pooja, sachche di hai sach vichar.
Sach hi vartan sach hi vandan, sach hai mera karobar.
Sachche mainoon sach vikhayai, baddhi sach nal jeevan tar.
Sachchi neehn te sach usari, sach da karda han parchar.
Loon loon andar sach smayai, sach hai sachcha pran adhar.
Sach samundar sach ne lehran, sach hai bedi sach patvar.
Sachchi rah te poonji sach di, sachchi hatti sach vapar.
Ih sachcha hai iko sachcha, ghat ghat ramia jo Nirankar.
Buta Singh ne sach ih dasya, kar ke kirpa mehr apar.
Avtar guru de charnan utton, vare vare jaan balihar.

Truth is my prayer and worship, true is my present action of the True One;
Truth is what I practise, Truth is what I distribute and Truth is my trade and occupation.
The true one has revealed the Truth to me and united me with the Truth;
True is the foundation and true is the structure, and I preach the Truth.
Truth pulsates in every pore of mine and Truth is the true sustainer of my life-breath;
Truth is the ocean, Truth are the waves, Truth is the boat, and Truth is the sailor.
Truth is the path and worship of Truth, true is the shop and true is the trade;
This True One is true alone, the Formless One- Nirankar who pervades all the beings.
Buta Singh has revealed this Truth with his boundless grace;
Avtar says, I sacrifice my all at the holy feet of the True Master.

Meaning
True, is the your worship (O, almighty nirankar) and to think of you is also true. I share, distribute and deal only this truth now. The true master has revealed this truth to me in the form of divine knowledge and by doing so has connected the chord of my life with this truth. Now, I have realized that my foundation is truth, my structure is truth and now I preach only this truth. I can feel this truth in each and every pore of my body and this truth is my true life-breath. This is the truth which is the ocean itself as well as the waves, the boat as well as the oars (patwar, in hindi). On this journey of truth, my capital is truth, my shop is true and my trade is of truth. This true one (almighty God) is the only true one and this formless is present in each and every particle of the universe. This truth has been revealed to me by my true master Baba Buta Singh ji by his own kindness and generosity that is boundless. Avtar says, I sacrifice and surrender all that I have at the feet of my True Master.
