Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

Page - 452


ਜੈਸੇ ਉਲੂ ਦਿਨ ਸਮੈ ਕਾਹੂਐ ਨ ਦੇਖਿਓ ਭਾਵੈ ਤੈਸੇ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮੈ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕੈ ।
jaise uloo din samai kaahooaai na dekhio bhaavai taise saadhasangat mai aan dev sevakai |

Just as sight of an owl during the day is not appreciated by any body, so is a follower of a god not liked by the disciple of the True Guru in their holy congregation.

ਜੈਸੇ ਕਊਆ ਬਿਦਿਆਮਾਨ ਬੋਲਤ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਭਾਵੈ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕ ਜਉ ਬੋਲੈ ਅਹੰਮੇਵ ਕੈ ।
jaise kaooaa bidiaamaan bolat na kaahoo bhaavai aan dev sevak jau bolai ahamev kai |

Just as a crow cawing is not appreciated by anyone, just as a devotee of a god is not appreciated in the holy assembly of god-like True Guru. (because he may be saying haughty traits of his deity)

ਕਟਤ ਚਟਤ ਸ੍ਵਾਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਬਿਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕ ਸੁਹਾਇ ਨ ਕਟੇਵ ਕੈ ।
kattat chattat svaan preet bipreet jaise aan dev sevak suhaae na kattev kai |

Just as a dog licks when he is patted and bites when shouted and scolded at. (both acts are not good),

ਜੈਸੇ ਮਰਾਲ ਮਾਲ ਸੋਭਤ ਨ ਬਗੁ ਠਗੁ ਕਾਢੀਐ ਪਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕੈ ।੪੫੨।
jaise maraal maal sobhat na bag tthag kaadteeai pakar kar aan dev sevakai |452|

Just as a heron does not fit in the group of swans and is turned out from there, so does a devotee of some god or goddess not fit into the holy assembly of God-worshipping saints. Such fake devotees should be turned out from these assemblies. (452)
