Jis da ant na parawar jo na dasse satgur nahin; Zarre zarre vich lishkar jo na dasse satgur nahin. Jag da karta palanhaar jo na dasse satgur nahin; Jeevan data eh datar jo na dasse satgur nahin. Beant eh beshumar jo na dasse satgur nahin; Dharti ambar de vichkar jo na dasse satgur nahin. Anhan jyon ik anhen taeen maarag te nahin pa sakda; Avtar kahe tyon rahbar ura bhed nahin samjha sakda. |

He is not the True Master, who does not reveal the infinite God; He is not the True Master, who does not reveal the luminous presence of God in each and every particle. He is not the True Master, who does not reveal the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe; He is not the True Master, who does not reveal God, the Supreme Source of life, the great benevolent lord. He is not the True Master, who does not reveal God, the infinite and the limitless One; He is not the True Master, who does not reveal the Supreme Being in between the earth and the sky. Just as a blind person cannot show the way to another blind; Avtar says, likewise an imperfect Guru cannot unveil the Divine Secret. |
Meaning
One who does not reveal the infinite God manifesting in every particle, cannot be the True Lord Master. One who does not reveal the creator and sustainer of the universe, establishing HIM as the very source of life, cannot be the True Lord Master. One who does not reveal the Infinite and dimensionless, cannot be the True Master. Moreover, the One who does not reveal the Supreme Being as the one pervading between the earth and sky, cannot be the True Master. Just as a blind man cannot show the path to another blind person, Avtar says that an imperfect spiritual guide too cannot reveal the path of divine secret.
