Matt guru di je man vasse man da nhera door kare; Matt guru di je man vasse dil noon nooro noor kare. Matt guru di je man vasse adna aahla ho jaye; Matt guru di je man vasse chanan wala ho jaye. Matt guru di je man vasse pa dendi eh sidhe rah; Matt guru di je man vasse kangla vi ho jave shah. Karman mari duniyan eypar samjhi ehda tatt nahin; Kahe avtar paye na palle je kar mastak natt nahin. |

If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, it dispels the darkness from it; If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, the heart gets illuminated. If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, even the lowly becomes great; If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, one gets spiritually enlightened. If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, it leads man to the right path; If the True Master’s word of wisdom dwells in mind, even a pauper becomes a king. This unfortunate world, however, has not understood the essence of the True Master’s word of wisdom; Avtar says,one cannot understand the True Master’s word of wisdom, unless he bows before the True Master. |

Because of the True Master’s word of truth, man becomes the beholder of the light of truth. The wisdom of the Master puts a man onto the path of righteousness and truth. The knowledge of the True Master makes a beggar turn into a king. This world is unfortunate since it has not understood the essence of the Almighty One.
