ਸਰਿਤਾ ਸਲਿਲਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਸਮਾਨ ਬਹੈ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਅਥਾਹ ਅਤ ਪ੍ਰਬਲਿ ਦਿਖਾਤ ਹੈ ।

Just as a stream flows calmly at a place but at another place it is rapid and noisy.

ਏਕ ਸਮੈ ਜੈਸੇ ਹੀਰਾ ਹੋਤ ਜੀਰਨਾਂਬਰ ਮੈ ਏਕ ਸਮੈ ਕੰਚਨ ਜੜੇ ਜਗਮਗਾਤ ਹੈ ।
ek samai jaise heeraa hot jeeranaanbar mai ek samai kanchan jarre jagamagaat hai |

Just as a diamond is wrapped in a (silk) rag at one time. but at another time, the same diamond is inlaid in gold and shines with its grandeur.

ਤੈਸੇ ਗੁਰਸਿਖ ਰਾਜਕੁਮਾਰ ਜੋਗੀਸੁਰ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆਧਾਰੀ ਭਾਰੀ ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤ ਜੁਗਾਤ ਹੈ ।੪੯੭।
taise gurasikh raajakumaar jogeesur hai maaeaadhaaree bhaaree jog jugat jugaat hai |497|

Similarly, an obedient Sikh of the Guru is a prince at one time and a supreme ascetic at another time. Even when he is wealthy, he still remains absorbed in the methods of realisation of the Lord. (497)
