Frog & the Lotus

Frog &  the Lotus
In Guru Granth Saheb Ji man’s mind is compared with that of a frog which keeps submerged in the filth in the lake next to a beautiful lotus flower.  The bumble bee inspite of not being a resident of the lake comes from far off place and relishes the nectar of the lotus.  Guru Granth Saheb Ji draws a similarity with the human life.  Our mind is like the frog and the filth of the lake is the materialistic life (maya) with which it has got enticed.  This attachment to the materialistic life is so acute that one totally forgets the pleasures that one can draw from the spiritualistic world.
