Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 42
Gian guru da insanan nun rab da ghar dikhlanda ey;
Gian guru da insanan nun mukti marag panda ey.
Gur wale is rang nun manan jis da roop te rang nahin;
Satgur wale jis rang range us vich paindi bhang nahin.
Gian guru da sadh di punji eho hi vadiyaee ey;
Gian gur da rakh ke seene santan shobha paee ey.
Naam hari da saar guru di naam hari da yog vi ey;
Naam hari da praan te pinda naam dawai rog vi ey.
Range ne jo gian guru de har di sewa karde ne;
Ik nirankar hari de wangun na jamde na marde ne.
Karde challo gall hari di is ton vaddi gall nahin;
Nahin avtar bharosa tan da aj tan hai per kall nahin.
Meaning
God-knowledge imparted by the True Lord Master shows man the eternal abode which is the House of God and puts them on the path to salvation. Disciples of the True Master are hued in the bliss of the colorless and unending Divine Name. This divine color never ever gets ruined or spoilt. God-Knowledge imparted by the True Master is the saint’s asset and his praise. It has brought glory to those saints in whose hearts it resides. God-Knowledge is the essence of the Lord Master and the way to unite with God. It is the breath of life and body itself and the cure for the illness of ignorance also. Those who are hued in such a Divine color serve all in the name of God and are just like the Formless One and are not subject to births and deaths. Keep on preaching about God- there is nothing bigger and more important than this. Avtar says, there is no surety of the human body- it is only temporary.
