卐 सत्यराम सा 卐 
दादू शब्द बाण गुरु साध के, दूर दिसन्तरि जाइ । 
जिहि लागे सो ऊबरे, सूते लिये जगाइ ॥ 
सतगुरु शब्द मुख सौं कह्या, क्या नेड़े क्या दूर । 
दादू सिष श्रवणहुँ सुण्या, सुमिरण लागा सूर ॥

Param Sant Sahjo Bai 

Her marriage ceremony had just been over. Preparations were afoot to send her off to her in-laws' house. Her hair was being done. She was being meticulously dressed & decorated. Her friends were busy doing her make-up. It was then only, shall we say by the quirk of the fate that Charan Das Ji appeared on the scene. Looking at Sahjo Bai whose make-up was in progress, he remarked, 

"O Sahjo! This world is not your permanent abode. We would have to leave, it is dead sure, this world. Would you trade your head for such a fickle & ephemeral conjugal bliss?" 

No sooner than these words had been uttered, she put off all items of make-up and decoration, and gave up the very idea of going to her in-laws' place. Instead, she got herself married to a life of meditation and grew up, in due course of time, into a great devotee and sant herself. 

She could attain the Ultimate Perfection (Self Realisation) by meticulously and rigorously obeying the instructions of her Guru, and thus, she had gratefully experienced his infinite grace. 

It is with this deep sense of gratitude in her mind that she has expressed her heartfelt emotions towards her Guru in the following verses: 

"Oh Sahjo, I could leave God but my Guru I could never. For even God is not equal to my Guru. 

He was the one who brought me into this world its true, but it was my Guru who freed me from the cycle of birth and death 

He set the five thieves upon me, but it was my Guru who released me from their power. 

He entangled me in the web of my family, but it was my Guru who broke my chains of attachment. 

He bound with me this disease for the love of life, but it was my Guru who freed me and turned me into a yogi 

He confused me with Karma and Dharma, but it was my Guru who showed me my own soul 

He hid himself from me, but my Guru gave me a lamp and revealed him. 

Above all, it was He who bounded and enslaved me but it was my Guru who freed me from all illusion. 

I will leave my body, my mind, I would even leave God........... but my Guru I would never"
