Foke karam kamaai jane siraf rerhka pani da;
Makkhan tan dudh chon hi milnain firna kamm madhani da. Jeevan daulat muk jani ey ik din apni aayi te; Aipar jadon naberha honai honai naam kamaai te. Maanush janam aakhri paurhi tilak gea te vari gai; Kahe avtar chaurasi vali ghaal kamai sari gai. |

Mere performance of rites and rituals amounts to churning the water;
Butter will come out only from milk, otherwise the churning machine will go on revolving (in vain), which is its function. The wealth of human life has to get exhausted on the appointed day; The account of your deeds shall be settled only on the basis of the wealth of the Divine Name you earn. Human life is the last step of the ladder, in case you slip from here, you will lose your turn, (for God realization); Avtar says, whatever you earned during the cycle of birth and death (to be born a human being), shall go in vain. |
