Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 58

Sadh di sangat jekar mil jaye mit jande ne kale daag;
Sadh di sangat jekar mil jaye man di veena chherhe raag.
Sadhu hundai jehrha sachcha tinn guna ton door kare;
Sadhu hundai jehrha sachcha chanan thin bharpur kare.
Sadhu hundai asgah sagar jis da aadi te ant nahin;
Sadhu de vadiyayi aini jisdi koi ganat nahin.
Sadhu di vadiyayi vaddi sadhan aakh sunai ey;
Kahe avtar rab sadhu andar hunda bhed na rayi ey.

If one gets the company of the True Saint, all his sins are washed away;
If one gets the company of the True Saint, the flute of his mind starts playing the divine music.
The saint who is true makes one rise above the three attributes i.e. action[Rajo]; ignorance [Tamo]; and goodness [Sato];
The saint who is true bestows one with spiritual enlightenment.
The True Saint is a vast ocean which is fathomless and knows no bounds;
The True Saint has the glory which is beyond description.
The True Saint’s true glory has been narrated by saints as such;
Avtar says, there is no difference between God and the True Saint.
