Surat hanere de vich rehsi jad tak rab da noor nahin;
Chaanan sade ang sang vasda eh rab sathon door nahin. Gandgi de vich fasya rehnai jad tak amrit milda nahin; Manan munh pun daan tun kar lai aipar faayda til da nahin. Dukkhan ton tun bach nahin sakda je milya sukhdata nahin; Eh bhulekhe ja nahin sakde je tun rab pachhata nahin. Chakkar eh chaurasi wala gyaan bina ruk sakda nahin; Kahe avtar guru de bajhon eh painda muk sakda nahin. |

The soul will remain in darkness till it gets illumined with divine light;
The divine light is always with us, and is not away even for a moment. Man remains entrapped in the filth of materialism till he gets the nectar; One may offer any amount as donations, but this would be of no avail. O' man, you cannot be saved from pain and suffering unless you meet the donor of peace and comforts; One's doubts and delusions cannot be removed unless he realizes God. The cycle of birth and death cannot stop without attaining divine knowledge; Avtar says, the journey to the divine destination cannot be completed without the True Master. |
