Karman te dharman vich fas ke rab nun dilon bhulanda ey;
Chikkarh de vich fasya jandai jyon jyon kadam vadhanda ey. Yaad rakhe sab rishte naate aiper rab na yaad kare; Moh maya de jaal vich fas ke jeevan nun barbaad kare. Jhoothe sukhaan pichhe lag ke sachcha sukh visaar rehai; Moorakh jhoothe dhandyan andar jeevan baji haar rihai. Sachchi manzal sachcha maarag har bande nun bhulla ey; Kahe avtar guru da eh dar har bande lai khulla ey. |

Entangled in the rites and rituals, man forgets God;
With every step forward, he is caught into this mud more and more. He remembers all his worldly relations, but does not remember God; Caught in the net of love and attachment for material world, he spoils his life. Remaining in pursuit of false comforts, he ignores the real peace; Entangled in false pursuits, the unwise is losing the game of life. Every human being seems to have forgotten the true path and the true destination; Avtar says, this divine door of the True Master is open for everyone. |
