Bhai Gurdaas—Kabitt 437
Saying, “Sugar, sugar,” the tongue doesn’t taste sweetness;
saying, “Fire, fire,” shivering does not cease.
Saying, “Doctor, doctor,” does not cure diseases of any kind;
saying, “Money, money,” doesn’t give you wealth to enjoy.
Saying, “Chandan, Chandan [sandalwood],” doesn’t create fragrance;
saying, “Moon, moon,” doesn’t create the radiance of moonlight.
Similarly, simply speaking about spiritual philosophies doesn’t cause you to achieve a spiritual lifestyle.
Enacting them is fundamental; then the light is manifested in the sky [complete spirituality is reached].
