ਜੈਸੇ ਕਾਛੀ ਫਲ ਹੇਤ ਬਿਬਿਧਿ ਬਿਰਖ ਰੋਪੈ ਨਿਹਫਲ ਰਹੈ ਬਿਰਖੈ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਕਾਜ ਹੈ ।
jaise kaachhee fal het bibidh birakh ropai nihafal rahai birakhai na kaahoo kaaj hai |Just as a gardener plants saplings of many trees for obtaining fruits, but one which does not bear any fruit becomes useless.
ਸੰਤਤਿ ਨਮਿਤਿ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਅਨਿਕ ਬਿਵਾਹ ਕਰੈ ਸੰਤਤਿ ਬਿਹੂਨ ਬਨਿਤਾ ਨ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਛਾਜਿ ਹੈ ।
santat namit nrip anik bivaah karai santat bihoon banitaa na grih chhaaj hai |Just as a king marries many women for obtaining a heir of his kingdom, but the queen who does not bear him a child is not liked by anyone in the family.
ਬਿਦਿਆ ਦਾਨ ਜਾਨ ਜੈਸੇ ਪਾਧਾ ਚਟਸਾਰ ਜੋਰੈ ਬਿਦਿਆ ਹੀਨ ਦੀਨ ਖਲ ਨਾਮ ਉਪਰਾਜਿ ਹੈ ।
bidiaa daan jaan jaise paadhaa chattasaar jorai bidiaa heen deen khal naam uparaaj hai |Just as a teacher opens a school but the child who remains illiterate is called lazy and foolish.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਿਖ ਸਾਖਾ ਸੰਗ੍ਰਹੈ ਸੁਗਿਆਨ ਨਮਿਤਿ ਬਿਨ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਧ੍ਰਿਗ ਜਨਮ ਕਉ ਲਾਜਿ ਹੈ ।੪੧੫।
satigur sikh saakhaa sangrahai sugiaan namit bin gur giaan dhrig janam kau laaj hai |415|Similarly, True Guru holds a congregation of his disciples in order to impart them with supreme form of knowledge (Naam). But he who remains bereft of Guru's teachings, is worthy of condemnation and is a blotch on the human birth. (415)
