[QUOTE="japjisahib04, post: 184855, member: 971"] Giani Jee Yes Jeo but it was Bhagat Farid who says, 'ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕਾਲੀ ਜਿਨੀ ਨ ਰਾਵਿਆ ਧਉਲੀ ਰਾਵੈ ਕੋਇ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਂਈ ਸਿਉ ਪਿਰਹੜੀ ਰੰਗੁ ਨਵੇਲਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੨॥ With due apologies from you, literal interpretation of this sabd by most of the scholars reveals who didn't serve God while had black hairs, will not be able to merge with God, when their hair gets grey thus Guru Amardas in next sloka makes little correction to above sabd by stating, 'ਫਰੀਦਾ ਕਾਲੀ ਧਉਲੀ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਚਿਤਿ ਕਰੇ ॥ ਆਪਣਾ ਲਾਇਆ ਪਿਰਮੁ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਜੇ ਲੋਚੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋਇ ॥ Fareed, whether one's hair is black or grey, better late than never, our Lord and Master is always here if one remembers Him. This loving devotion to the Lord does not come by one's own efforts, even though all may long for it. It develops itselves. When I looked serialwise theme, I found sabd is not referring to Hairs but is flashing upon black chapter of my life and 'dhauli' is not grey hair but divine wisdom. I even checked the sabd, 'naino neer bahai tan kheena bhai kes dhudhwani .. SGGS.659.12 of Bhagat Bheekhan and noticed he is not referring to the helpless state of old age but is trying to say in positive tone that my body which used to run after demons karma has now 'tan kheena' distanced itself from vicious vikar as it 'bhai kes dhudhwani - has obtained the divine wisdom now'.
