Jammna marna marna jammna is bande di reet bani;
Moh maya de jaal ch fasya na rab de naal preet bani. Karman dharman de naal eh rab na milya na mil sakda ey; Dil da kanval guru de bajhon na khilya na khil sakda ey. Us nahin marna amar ho gya jis da rab naal nata ey; Kahe avtar bachan ey poora murshad ton rab jata ey. |

Man has accepted the cycle of birth and death as a rule;
Caught in the net of material attachments, he has not loved God. God has neither been realized nor He can be realized by performing rites and rituals, The lotus of human heart has neither blossomed nor it can blossom without the True Master. The one who is united with God shall not be subjected to death, he has become immortal; Avtar says, I solemnly declare that I have realized God from the True Master. |
Meaning
Any ritual cannot help us know God, only a knower can tell us about God. Man thinks that the cycle of birth and death is a rule but he fails to know that it can be broken. While living in
this world he gets busy in all the material attachments like family, money etc, he is not able to develop that loving connection with God. He does not know that by knowing God, he can come
out of this cycle. No rebirths. He doesn't understand that God can't be realized by performing rites and rituals. The humans can't know Him without the help of the True Master. The one who
is united with God, shall not face the death and he becomes immortal. Here Baba Avtar Singh ji declares that he realized God from the True Master.
