Bandgi da bande vich ghata hove te insaan nahin;
Banda vi ey pashu barabar je farzan di pehchan nahin. Jama pa ke bande wala karda kaar haivani ey; Bande di nadani nahin ey bande di shaitani ey. Amlan baajh ilam aalam de jeevan nun mazboor kare; Kahe avtar nishane bajhon painda manzal door kare. |

Bereft of devotion to God, man is not worthy of being called a human being;
Without being conscious of his duties and responsibilities, man is as good as an animal. Wearing the human cloak, he acts like a devil; This is not man's innocence, but his cleverness. Wisdom without matching action makes even the prudent helpless; Avtar says, journey without the target makes the destination distant. |
