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.

Divine knowledge imparted by the True Master reveals the eternal abode to the human beings;
Divine knowledge imparted by the True Master puts them on the path of salvation.
Disciples of the True Master enjoy the colour of the One who is without form and colour;
Disciples of the True Master enjoy the bless which does not get interrupted.
Divine knowledge imparted by the True Master is the saint’s asset and this is his exaltation;
The saints have gained glory by reposing faith in the Divine knowledge imparted by the True Master.
Divine Name is the quintessence of the True Master and Divine Name is the way to unite with God;
Divine Name is the life-breath as well as the body and it is the remedy as well as the ailment.
Those who are blessed with the Divine knowledge by the True Master, are always in the service of all;
Just like the Formless One-Nirankar, they are not subject to births and deaths.
Keep on talking about God, nothing is better than this;
Avtar says, there is no surety about the body, it exists today but may not be there tomorrow.
