Rahe gurua ji avash zaroorat kainh bhi ilam khe paayan layai;
Rahe gurua ji avash zaroorat kainh bhi ilam khe jaanan layai.
Rahe gurua ji avash zaroorat har sansaarak soojh pave;
Rahe gurua ji avash zaroorat parmaarath ji boojh pave.
Ilam rooh jo mile na hargij heela halaaye lakh hazaar;
Pooran guru avtar chahve deh sat asat jo chhin me saar.

One does need a teacher in order to learn any art;
One does need a teacher in order to know any subject of education.
One does need a teacher in order to understand worldly matters;
One does need a teacher in order to know the divine path.
One just can not attain spiritual knowledge by making countless efforts on his own;
Avtar says, the True Master takes one moment to tell what is true and what is false.
