Suckling calf contaminated the milk,
Bees spoiled the flower. Fish the water. 1.
O Mother! What do I offer the Earth-Force in worship?
I have no worthy flower for the Incomparable. 1. Reflect.
Snakes ensnare Mailagar1 sandalwood trees,
Poison and Nectar dwell together. 2.
Incense, lamps and edible idol offerings are contaminated due to odor.
How then are Your votaries to worship You? 3.
I dedicate body and mind, offer them in worship,
By Guru’s Grace, the Immaculate is realized. 4.
“I don’t know how to worship or venerate You,”
says Ravidas. “How will I fare?” 5.
1 Sandalwood trees that are on the Malaya mountain.

Inni Kaur reflects on how wind, rivers, and skies reveal Guru Nanak Sahib’s Presence. Through poetic narration, this inward journey explores Hukam, grace, and the jewel of Nam, guiding us closer to Divine love.
In saloks thirty-seven through sixty-five, Sheikh Farid Ji describes the typical human life, where beings are drawn to glittery yet ultimately harmful transient things and relationships, spending their entire lives in pursuit of them.
