ਸੁੰਨਹੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਮਹੇਸੁ ਉਪਾਏ ॥ ਸੁੰਨੇ ਵਰਤੇ ਜੁਗ ਸਬਾਏ ॥
ਇਸੁ ਪਦ ਵੀਚਾਰੇ ਸੋ ਜਨੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਿਲੀਐ ਭਰਮੁ ਚੁਕਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥
ਸਾਮ ਵੇਦੁ ਰਿਗੁ ਜੁਜਰੁ ਅਥਰਬਣੁ ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੇ ਮੁਖਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਹੈ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ॥
ਤਾ ਕੀ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋ ਤਿਉ ਬੋਲੇ ਜਿਉ ਬੋਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥

Isu pad bichaare so janu pura, tis miliye bharmu chukaaida (3)
Saam vedu, rugu- jujaru-atharbanu, brahme much maaiaa hai traigun
Taa kee keemat kahi na sakae, ko tiu bole jiu bulaaida (9)
सुनहु ब्रह्मा, बिसनु, महेसु उपाए। सुने वरते जुग सबाए।।
इसु पद बिचारे सो जनु पुरा। तिस मिलिए भरमु चुकाइदा।।(3)
साम वेदु, रुगु जुजरु अथरबणु। ब्रहमें मुख माइआ है त्रौगुण।।
ता की कीमत कहि न सकै। को तिउ बोले जिउ बुलाईदा।।(9)

How can one become a true religious guru?
Satlok Ashram
Satguru or real guru is the representative sent by God who has power and authority to provide true spiritual knowledge and true salvation mantras. Rest all are fake gurus. So one should not waste precious human birth in becoming a guru rather should make efforts to search an enlightened Saint who is Satguru and take his shelter, do true worship so that he/she becomes eligible to attain emancipation.
Vishal Verma
