Ilam akal de naal parheedai aipar bin ustadon nahin;
Jo kujh amal kama ke takiye oh fir lathda yadon nahin. Berhi ne hi paar langhanai aipar bina malaah de nahin; Rog davavan naal hi mitnai aipar bina salaah de nahin. Aidan hi is rab da pana satgur bajhon mushkal ey; Kahe avtar gur di rehmat har ik aukarh da hal ey. |

Education is to be learnt with wisdom, but surely not without the teacher;
Whatever one learns through practical experience, does not fade from one's memory. No doubt the boat is to take you across, but surely not without the boatman; The disease is to be cured certainly with the medicines, but not without the consultation (of the doctor) of course. Likewise, it is difficult to realize God, without the True Master; Avtar says, the benevolence of the True Master is the solution to each and every difficult proposition. |
Meaning
Here Babaji explains how its diffcult to know God without the True Master. For having education wisdom or intelligence is required, but even then we cant have it without the teacher. Whatever one learns through practical experience, that knowledge does not fade from one's memory. No doubt the boat takes us across, but a boat cannot do anything without the boatman. The disease is to be cured certainly with the medicines, but not without consulting the doctor (knower). Likewise, it is difficult to realize God, without the True Master. Here Baba Avtar Singh ji says, the benevolence of the True Master is the solution to each and every difficult.
