ਮਾਰੂ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
maaroo mehlaa 5.
Maaroo, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਿਸਹਿ ਸਾਜਿ ਨਿਵਾਜਿਆ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਸਿਉ ਰੁਚ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
jisahi saaj nivaaji-aa tiseh si-o ruch naahi.
You feel no love for the One who created and embellished you.
ਆਨ ਰੂਤੀ ਆਨ ਬੋਈਐ ਫਲੁ ਨ ਫੂਲੈ ਤਾਹਿ ॥੧॥
aan rootee aan bo-ee-ai fal na foolai taahi. ||1||
The seed, planted out season, does not germinate; it does not produce flower or fruit. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is easy to forget to turn toward the One who made you and shaped you with such care.
But a seed dropped in the wrong season won't sprout — no flower, no fruit. Some things only grow when we plant them at the right time.
Some good things only grow when we plant them at the right time.
A farming picture: the Naam is a seed, the heart is a field, and timing matters. A seed sown out of season bears nothing, so plant while the season is good.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you know is worth starting now, not later?
