As parents bring up and care for many of their children yet £hose children do not reciprocate the same way;

jaisay maataa pitaa chit chaahat hai soutan kau , taisay n soutan chit chaah oupajaavaee |

As parents love their wards from the core of their hearts, the same intensity of love cannot be generated in the hearts of the children.

As parents feel delighted on the happy occasions of their children and are distressed when they face tribulations, but the children do not feel the reciprocal intensity for their parents;

As Satguru Ji pamper and cuddle the Sikhs with mind, words and deeds, similarly a Sikh cannot express in reciprocation these boons of Satguru Ji with equal intensity. (101)
