Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 324

Kai guru gaddiyan te beh ke matthe paye tikande ne;
Je koi rab di gal aa puchchhe us nun laare lande ne.
Bhekhan naal fasande chele maal praaya khande ne;
Dubde aap te chele apne naale dobi jande ne.
Murh murh jammde marde ne oh ronde te kurlande ne;
Kahe avtar eh janam amolak birtha paye ganvande ne.

Many religious leaders sitting on pedestals exact obeisance from their followers;
And if one asks them to reveal God, they put him off.
They entrap followers by false appearances and live on the earnings of others;
They drown in the ocean of materialism themselves and make their followers drown too.
They take birth and die again and again and continue weeping and shrieking;
Avtar says, they waste this precious human life in vain.

These days, people have made a business out of being the spiritual leaders. But we need to be aware of such liars. Many religious leaders sitting on pedestals extract obeisance from their followers. And if one asks them to reveal God, they put them off. They attract followers by false appearance and live on the earnings of others. They drown in the ocean of materialism themselves and make their followers drown too. They take birth and die again and again and continue weeping and shrieking. Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, they waste this precious human life in vain.
