Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 102


ਜੈਸੇ ਕਛਪ ਧਰਿ ਧਿਆਨ ਸਾਵਧਾਨ ਕਰੈ ਤੈਸੇ ਮਾਤਾ ਪਿਤਾ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਸੁਤੁ ਨ ਲਗਾਵਈ ।
jaise kachhap dhar dhiaan saavadhaan karai taise maataa pitaa preet sut na lagaavee |

Just as a she tortoise bears its young ones in sand and takes care of them till they are sufficiently capable of looking after themselves, such love and concern for parents cannot be the characteristic of a child.

ਜੈਸੇ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਕਰਿ ਕੂੰਜ ਪਰਪਕ ਕਰੈ ਤੈਸੋ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਸੁਤ ਪੈ ਨ ਬਨਿ ਆਵਈ ।
jaise simaran kar koonj parapak karai taiso simaran sut pai na ban aavee |

Just as a crane teaches its young ones to fly and make them adept by flying many miles, a child cannot do for his parents.

ਜੈਸੇ ਗਊ ਬਛਰਾ ਕਉ ਦੁਗਧ ਪੀਆਇ ਪੋਖੈ ਤੈਸੇ ਬਛਰਾ ਨ ਗਊ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਹਿਤੁ ਲਾਵਈ ।
jaise gaoo bachharaa kau dugadh peeae pokhai taise bachharaa na gaoo preet hit laavee |

Just as a cow feeds her young one with her milk and brings him up, the young one cannot reciprocate with same feelings the love and affection for the cow.

ਤੈਸੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਤੈਸੇ ਕੈਸੇ ਸਿਖ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਠਹਰਾਵਈ ।੧੦੨।
taise giaan dhiaan simaran gurasikh prat taise kaise sikh gur sevaa tthaharaavee |102|

As a True Guru blesses a Sikh and expresses his love by making him well versed in divine knowledge, contemplation and meditation on Lord's name, how can a devoted Sikh rise to the same level of dedication and devotion in the service of Guru? (102)
