Here Bhagat Kabeer Ji talks about our continuously-wandering minds. We're going through this world like a colony of drunken ants who can't hold up their leaves properly. Our minds wander from Maharaj throughout the day, especially when doing our Baanian or sitting down to do simran. Even when we do ardas to ask Maharaj for help, we rarely do it with enough faith and conviction that we actually believe He will help us - constantly doubting, or feeling that our Sikhi is worthless just because we're too blind to appreciate it.

Bhagat Kabeer Ji states that Maharaj is the one who provides every single comfort in existence. Only by remembering Sargutu Ji's name will we attain any sort of peace, and gain the "ras" that Bhagat Ji talks about. How can someone who hasn't had that taste even begin to try and describe it.

We see people wandering around in the world, thinking that they'll be eternally happy if they fall in "love" or become a millionaire or be the highest academic in Oxford University. But truly, only Maharaj is the Comforter and the Provider of joy...and if we make a proper effort to remember Him, then that'll be the end of all our wavering and stumbling around like drunken ants.
