ਮੂਰਖ ਦੀ ਪਛਾਣ
Identification of a fool
Vaar 32, Pauri 15 of 20
ਰਾਹੁ ਛਡਿ ਉਝੜਿ ਪਵੈ
ਆਗੂ ਨੋ ਭੁਲਾ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਣੈ।
He who leaving the path
away follows a trackless waste and considers his leader gone astray,
is a fool.
ਬੇੜੇ ਵਿਚਿ ਬਹਾਲੀਐ
ਕੁਦਿ ਪਵੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਹਣ ਧਿਙਾਣੈ।
Seated in the boat he jumps impulsively
into the current.
ਸੁਘੜਾਂ ਵਿਚਿ ਬਹਿਠਿਆਂ
ਬੋਲਿਵਿਗਾੜਿ ਉਘਾੜਿ ਵਖਾਣੈ।
Sitting among the noble ones he,
due to his ill talk stands exposed.
ਸੁਘੜਾਂ ਮੂਰਖ
ਜਾਣਦਾ ਆਪਿ ਸੁਘੜੁ ਹੋਇ ਵਿਰਤੀਹਾਣੈ।
The wise he considers stupid and hids
his own conduct as a clever one.
ਦਿਹ ਨੋ ਰਾਤਿ ਵਖਾਣਦਾ
ਚਾਮਚੜਿਕ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਟਾਨਾਣੈ।
Like, a bat and a glow worm he describes
the day as night.
ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਮੂਰਖੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ
ਆਣੈ ॥੧੫॥
The wisdom of Guru never resides in the
heart of a foolish person. |
