Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 329

Ang sang jo rab hai saade eho sada sakka ey;
Sare rishtedaraan vichchon eho rishta pakka ey.
Eho sada masjid mandar haj kaahba te makka ey;
Eho sada maal khajana eho paisa takka ey.
Jinhan ne rab yaad na rakhya khali oh vichare gye;
Kahe avtar oh pandhi sare khoj khoj vich mare gye.

God who is always with us, is our real relative;
Amongst all relatives, only this relationship is stable.
For us God is the mosque and the temple, God is the pilgrimage, Kaba, and God is the Mecca;
For us God is the treasure of wealth and God is the money.
Those who did not remember God, poor fellows went empty handed;
Avtar says, they were all such travelers who lost their lives only in search of the destination.
