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॥
