17. Salok Bhagat Kabeer Ji Ke: 4 - Ang 1364 Dhan Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The gold ornaments studded with red jewels look like flames of fire. That is everyone notices them and the individual wearing them. Such ornaments signify riches, lavish life, show-off of and pompous life style. But for Devotee like Kabeer Ji, who is attuned with mind and heart to The Lord, such ornaments look like burnt twigs. How that is possible? Well, wearing such ornaments, if not attached to 'Naam of The Lord’ will give rise to ego. How? Almost all mortals will take excessive pride in holding such riches, people will appreciate the beauty adding more fuel to ego and those who don't have will grow jealous and may also burn in fire of greed with fire of jealousy. And what fire does best; it burns the forest and make trees look like burnt twigs. So words of Devotee Kabeer Ji signify: Gathering worldly riches without attuning to Lord is futile, One should give up wrong lifestyle and attune himself to The Lord, One who us truly spiritual is not distracted by affluence of the world...
