Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 356

Dui de chakkar vich fas ke banda ho gya rab ton vakkh;
Dui de chakkar vich fas ke banda ho gya lakh ton kakkh.
Dui de chakkar vich fas ke banda baitha meet ke akkh;
Dui de chakkar vich fas ke banda sake na amrit chakkh.
Poore gur de dar te banda je kar aan mitaye anakh;
Kahe avtar fir oh banda rab nun takda ey partakh.

Engaged in the pursuit of duality, man got isolated from God;
Engaged in the pursuit of duality, man became pauper from a millionaire.
Engaged in the pursuit of duality, man shut his eyes (to the Truth);
Engaged in the pursuit of duality, man cannot taste the divine nectar.
If a man sheds his vanity at the doorstep of the perfect True Master;
Avtar says, such a person beholds God face to face.

Meaning
Man went away from God while following two (false) paths. He is wasting this precious human life. Man shut his eyes towards Truth. Engaged in duality, man cannot taste the divine nectar. If a man sheds his ego at the doorstep of the perfect True Master, Baba Avtar Singh ji says, such a person will see God face to face.
