Khalsa Ji This person will get some Naam Rass from Amrit vela and Gurbani , but will not get kalyan {liberation} without rehat. The gathered Naam will only be temporary. In order for a panchi {bird} to escape from a cage it needs two wings to take flight. Bani and rehat are the two wings for the Gursikh to take flight out of the cage {kalyan/liberation}. Bani in it self is one wing and Guru Ji's rehat is the other wing. With only one wing we'll just flap around in never ending circles.

The people of the four categoriesare the nardh {pawns/pieces} , day and night are the sides , this dampatti{husband and wife i.e. creator and death} cast the ultimate throw of dice sincethey fear on one. Thehouse where there were many now just has one , where there was just one thereare now many. Everything happens in the blink of an eye.

As aresult of the sun rising and then going down my breaths are decreasing on adaily basis just as the water in an unbaked clay pot seeps out drop by drop ,thus leaving it empty. Peopleof the world are so intoxicated in their daily routines of materialisticpursuits that they have forgotten death. Thefear of death in childhood , adolescence , and old age does not enter/penetratethe mind just as the reflection of the sun does not enter/penetrate a wall. Theworld , having drunk the metaphorical alcohol of moh {attachment} , has becomeinsane and that is why the world has neglected the concentration/meditation ofShivJi and Parbatti.{7}.

Khalsa Ji There was once a case where a doctor had acid thrown on his his face by a disgruntled father/brother/husband in retalliation for his vibchar {misconduct}. The doctor now needed 24/7 assistance with everyday tasks since he was left totally blinded. He couldn't tell the truth about the attack since it would bring shame on him , his family , and relatives etc. so the doctor went to the media and accused a Sant of this attack. there were plenty of people who were anti-Sant in the first place so they gave this doctor encouragement to accuse the Sant in order to get assistance and sympathy from the public. ਕੂੜ ਨਿਖੁਟੇ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਓੜਕਿ ਸਚਿ ਰਹੀ ॥੨॥ कूड़ निखुटे नानका ओड़कि सचि रही ॥२॥ Kūṛ nikẖute nānkā oṛak sacẖ rahī. ||2|| Falsehood will come to an end, O Nanak, and Truth will prevail in the end. ||2||

Khalsa Ji These English translations are based on "Vairaag Shatak Steek" by Pandit Naryan Singh Gyani. The word for word literal translation for "UBHEH PEEN KUCHEE NAARI BHAARI ROOP GUNN VAARI." is , Istri {female} with kahtor {hard} mammeh {breasts} , maha sundar {utterly beautiful} , gunnah vaali {with good attributes}. In the opening introduction to this Granth the author states that Rajah Bharthari had already been married four or five times before falling for Rani Pingla. It was Rani Pingla who broke his heart by cheating on him since he worshipped the ground she walked on. He scolded his own brother for accusing her of vibchaar {adultery}. Once he realised the truth he filled with nafarat {hatred} for Pingla and the world in general. When he renounced all worldly pleasures by living a hermits life in the jungle he wrote these salok in the form of afsos {regret/sadness} at the fact the he had become a slave to kaam {lust}. His untamed and unleashed kaam broke his heart. Bharthari states that he had the firm breasted wife already {marriage number one} , so why did I seccumb to kaam and look for more women. His saloks are filled with afsos of how uncontrolled kaam transforms a persons life into narak {living hell}. He regrets not indulging in kaam with just one wife. He regrets falling victim to kaam and in particular the kaam in the form of Pingla. All the saloks are based on this central/core theme of the Granth.
