ਜੈਸੇ ਨੈਨ ਬੈਨ ਪੰਖ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਸ੍ਰਬੰਗ ਮੋਰ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਪਗ ਓਰ ਦੇਖਿ ਦੋਖ ਨ ਬੀਚਾਰੀਐ ।
jaise nain bain pankh sundar srabang mor taa ke pag or dekh dokh na beechaareeai |

Just as a peacock's eyes, call, feathers and all other limbs are beautiful, one should not condemn him for his ugly feet. (see the merits alone).

ਸੰਦਲ ਸੁਗੰਧ ਅਤਿ ਕੋਮਲ ਕਮਲ ਜੈਸੇ ਕੰਟਕਿ ਬਿਲੋਕ ਨ ਅਉਗਨ ਉਰਧਾਰੀਐ ।
sandal sugandh at komal kamal jaise kanttak bilok na aaugan uradhaareeai |

Just as Sandalwood is very fragrant and lotus flower very delicate, one should not bring to mind their demerit of the fact that a snake generally wraps itself around the sandalwood tree while a lotus flower has thorn on its stem.

ਜੈਸੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਫਲ ਮਿਸਟਿ ਗੁਨਾਦਿ ਸ੍ਵਾਦ ਬੀਜ ਕਰਵਾਈ ਕੈ ਬੁਰਾਈ ਨ ਸਮਾਰੀਐ ।
jaise amrit fal misatt gunaad svaad beej karavaaee kai buraaee na samaareeai |

Just as a mango is sweet and delicious but its kernal's bitterness should not be thought of.

ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਦਾਨ ਸਬਹੂੰ ਸੈ ਮਾਂਗਿ ਲੀਜੈ ਬੰਦਨਾ ਸਕਲ ਭੂਤ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਨ ਤਕਾਰੀਐ ।੩੯੯।
taise gur giaan daan sabahoon sai maang leejai bandanaa sakal bhoot nindaa na takaareeai |399|

Similarly one should take Guru's word and his sermons from everyone and everywhere. Everyone should be respected also. No one should be ever slandered and condemned for his demerit.
