ਜੈਸੇ ਉਪਬਨ ਆਂਬ ਸੇਂਬਲ ਹੈ ਊਚ ਨੀਚ ਨਿਹਫਲ ਸਫਲ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਪਹਚਾਨੀਐ ।
jaise upaban aanb senbal hai aooch neech nihafal safal pragatt pahachaaneeai |Just as there are mango and silk cotton trees in the same garden, but a mango tree is more respected because of the fruits that it yields, whereas the Silk cotton tree being without fruits is considered inferior.
ਚੰਦਨ ਸਮੀਪ ਜੈਸੇ ਬਾਂਸ ਅਉ ਬਨਾਸਪਤੀ ਗੰਧ ਨਿਰਗੰਧ ਸਿਵ ਸਕਤਿ ਕੈ ਜਾਨੀਐ ।
chandan sameep jaise baans aau banaasapatee gandh niragandh siv sakat kai jaaneeai |Just as in a jungle, there are sandalwood and bamboo trees. Since bamboo remains devoid of fragrance is known as egoistic and proud, whereas others absorb sandalwood's fragrance and are considered peace and comfort-giving trees.
ਸੀਪ ਸੰਖ ਦੋਊ ਜੈਸੇ ਰਹਤ ਸਮੁੰਦ੍ਰ ਬਿਖੈ ਸ੍ਵਾਂਤ ਬੂੰਦ ਸੰਤਤਿ ਨ ਸਮਤ ਬਿਧਾਨੀਐ ।
seep sankh doaoo jaise rahat samundr bikhai svaant boond santat na samat bidhaaneeai |Just as an oyster and conch shell are found in the same sea but oyster accepting ambrosial drop of rain water yields a pearl whereas a conch shell remains useless. Thus both cannot be graded equal.
ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ਆਨ ਦੇਵ ਸੇਵਕਨ ਭੇਦ ਅਹੰਬੁਧਿ ਨਿੰਮ੍ਰਤਾ ਅਮਾਨ ਜਗ ਮਾਨੀਐ ।੪੬੫।
taise guradev aan dev sevakan bhed ahanbudh ninmrataa amaan jag maaneeai |465|Similarly there is a difference between the devotees of the True Guru-the blesser of truth, and gods and goddesses. The followers of gods are proud of their intellect whereas the disciples of True Guru are considered humble and non-arrogant by the world.
