प्रौढ़ भएँ तेहि सुत पर माता। प्रीति करइ नहिं पाछिलि बाता॥ मोरें प्रौढ़ तनय सम ग्यानी। बालक सुत सम दास अमानी॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
prauḍha bhaeṃ tehi suta para mātā। prīti karai nahiṃ pāchili bātā॥ moreṃ prauḍha tanaya sama gyānī। bālaka suta sama dāsa amānī॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
A mother continues to love a son even after he has grown up, but the earlier dependence is no longer there. The wise are like My grown-up sons, while the servant who does not pride himself on his own strength is like My infant son.
