Editing Duni

Duni (ਦੁਨੀ – Worldly Honor/Wealth)

GUurmat warns against losing Truth for the sake of worldly honor (duni):

ਕਬੀਰ ਦੀਨੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ਦੁਨੀ ਸਿਉ ਦੁਨੀ ਨ ਚਾਲੀ ਸਾਥਿ ॥

A person clings to izzat, wealth, or worldly chaudhary (status).

In doing so, they lose the Truth (deen).

Yet, this worldly honor never accompanies them after death.

Connection to [[Baans]]:

Just like baans grows tall but is fruitless,

Such a person makes themselves “big” in worldly eyes,

But remains spiritually hollow — prideful without fragrance.

'''Gurmat Teaching''':

Worldly prestige is temporary and perishable.

Only Gurmat fragrance (like Chandan) accompanies the soul.

ਪਾਇ ਕੁਹਾੜਾ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਗਾਫਲਿ ਅਪੁਨੈ ਹਾਥਿ ॥੧੩॥
