4: An-AiDkwrI

Even listening to the Word of the Guru, the undeserving person attains no peace-

swvix vx hrIAwvly vuTY sukY Aku jvwhw ]

saavani van hareeaavalay voutdai soukai aku javaahaa.

In the month of Savan, the whole forest becomes green but akk, a wild plant of sandy region ( Calatropis procera) and javah (a prickly plant used in medicine) go dry.

iqRpiq bbIhy sÍWiq bUMd isp AMdir moqI Emwhw ]

tripati babeehay saanti boond sip andir motee oumaahaa.

Getting rain drops in the savanti nakstr (a special formation of stars in the sky) the rain bird (Paphia) gets satisfied and if the same drop falls in the mouth of a shell, it is transformed into a pearl.

kdlI vxhu kpUr hoie klir kvl n hoie smwhw ]

kadalee vanahu kapoor hoi kalari kavalu n hoi samaahaa.

In the banana fields, the same drop becomes camphor but on alkaline earth and lotus hat drop has no impact.

ibsIAr muih kwlkUt hoie Dwq supwqR kupwqR durwhw ]

biseear muhi kaalakoot hoi dhaat soupaatr koupaatr duraahaa.

That drop, if it goes into the mouth of a snake, becomes deadly poison. Therefore, a thing given to a genuine and undeserving person has different effects.

swDsMgiq gur sbdu suix sWiq n AwvY auBY swhw ]

saadhasangati gur sabadu souni saanti n aavai oubhai saahaa.

Likewise, those who are engrossed in the worldly delusions do not get peace even though they listen to the word of the Guru in the holy congregation.

guramoukhi soukh phalu piram rasu manamoukh badaraahee badaraahaa.

The gurmukh attains the pleasure fruit of the love of the Lord, but manmukh, the mind orientated one, goes on following the evil path.

mnmuK totw gurmuK lwhw ]4]

manamoukh totaa guramoukh laahaa ||4||

Manmukh always suffers loss whereas the Gurmukh earns profit.
