Thought For The Day (01/05/2006) ..Mithath Neeve Naanaka
The simal tree is huge and straight
But if one comes to it with hope of gain
What will one get and whither turn?
Its fruit is without taste
Its flowers have no fragrance
Its leaves are of no use.
0 Nanak, it is the lowly that have goodness and true worth.
He that bows before all,
Before him all will bow.
Weigh anything in a pair of scales and see
That of greater substance does the lower go.
The wicked man bends over double
As a deer-slayer shooting his dart.
What use is bending or bowing of head
When you bow not your heart?
But if one comes to it with hope of gain
What will one get and whither turn?
Its fruit is without taste
Its flowers have no fragrance
Its leaves are of no use.
0 Nanak, it is the lowly that have goodness and true worth.
He that bows before all,
Before him all will bow.
Weigh anything in a pair of scales and see
That of greater substance does the lower go.
The wicked man bends over double
As a deer-slayer shooting his dart.
What use is bending or bowing of head
When you bow not your heart?
