Apna ik thikana chhad ke dar dar dhakke khane nahin Rehna sada grahisti ban ke bhagven kapde pane nahin Bhikh mang ke bhes vata ke hona nahin toon bande khwar Dasan navhan di kirt kamani nahin banana duje te bhar Bhane vich khush reh ke har dam bharman vich na janam ganva Grahisti rehnai chautha pran ey kahe avtar na bhekh bana |

O’ Man, you should not leave your hearth and home , and wander from door to door; Lead a normal family life, do not become an ascetic wearing saffron clothes. O’ man do not go begging alms, by assuming false appearance and wandering aimlessly; Earn your bread on your own and do not be burden on others. Always submit cheerfully to the will of God and do not waste your life in doubts and delusions; Avtar says, the fourth pledge is to lead life as a householder and not to become a pretender. |
