“Kabeer paapi bhagat na bhaawe, Har puja na suhaai.
Maakhi chandan parhare, je beegand te jaai”.
Kabir ji says a sinful person doesn’t like the company of a worshipper nor does he relish the worshipping of the Lord. He compares a sinful person with a flea that forgoes the company of a sandalwood tree and instead relishes a stinking and filthy place.
Guru Nanak says “Hum avgunn bhare, ek gunn naahi. Amrit chaadh bhike bhik khaai”. “ I’am full of follies and have not a single merit within me for I am discarding the Nectar and chasing objects which are poisonous in nature”.
We need to have the blessings of a Master Guru with which we can differentiate between good and bad. At the surface level what may appear to be good may in fact turn out to be bad in the days to come and vice-versa.
Hence, we need to pray to the Lord to bless us with a foresighted vision to choose the right company, to follow the right path in order to reach the correct destination of true happiness.
