ਜੈਸੇ ਫਲ ਫੂਲਹਿ ਲੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਨ ਰਾਇ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਕਰੈ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਕਹੋ ਕੈਸੇ ਬਨਿ ਆਵੈ ਜੀ ।
jaise fal fooleh lai jaae ban raae prat karai abhimaan kaho kaise ban aavai jee |Just as someone takes a handful of fruits and flowers to present it to the king of the jungle where fruits and flowers abound, and then feels proud of his present, how can he be liked?
ਜੈਸੇ ਮੁਕਤਾਹਲ ਸਮੁੰਦ੍ਰਹਿ ਦਿਖਾਵੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਾਰ ਬਾਰ ਹੀ ਸਰਾਹੈ ਸੋਭਾ ਤਉ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਜੀ ।
jaise mukataahal samundreh dikhaavai jaae baar baar hee saraahai sobhaa tau na paavai jee |Just as someone takes a handful of pearls to the treasure house of pearls-ocean, and praises his pearls again and again, he does not earn any appreciation.
ਜੈਸੇ ਕਨੀ ਕੰਚਨ ਸੁਮੇਰ ਸਨਮੁਖ ਰਾਖਿ ਮਨ ਮੈ ਗਰਬੁ ਕਰੈ ਬਾਵਰੋ ਕਹਾਵੈ ਜੀ ।
jaise kanee kanchan sumer sanamukh raakh man mai garab karai baavaro kahaavai jee |Just as someone presents a small piece of gold nugget to Sumer mountain (the home of gold) and feels proud of his gold, he would be called a fool.
ਤੈਸੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਧਿਆਨ ਠਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਦੈ ਰੀਝਾਇਓ ਚਾਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਨਪਤਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੈਸੇ ਕੈ ਰੀਝਾਵੈ ਜੀ ।੫੧੦।
taise giaan dhiaan tthaan praan dai reejhaaeio chaahai praanapat satigur kaise kai reejhaavai jee |510|Similarly if someone talks of knowledge and contemplations and pretends to surrender himself with a view to please and entice the True Guru, he cannot succeed in his nefarious designs of pleasing the True Guru the master of all life.
