Gur pitu matu swami hit bani
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 177 · Ayodhya Kand
Chaupai Text
गुर पितु मातु स्वामि हित बानी। सुनि मन मुदित करिअ भलि जानी॥ उचित कि अनुचित किएँ बिचारू। धरमु जाइ सिर पातक भारू॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
gura pitu mātu svāmi hita bānī। suni mana mudita karia bhali jānī॥ ucita ki anucita kieṃ bicārū। dharamu jāi sira pātaka bhārū॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
[For] after hearing the words of one’s guru, father, mother, master, and well-wisher, one should rejoice and accept them as good. If one keeps weighing right and wrong in that way, righteousness departs and the burden of sin comes upon the head.
