Gopal Tero Aarta is a Spiritual poetry of Devotee Dhanna present in Guru Granth Sahib. This Shabad is pretty example of humbleness and Satisfaction. A Kid always ask his father for his wishes, but when kid becomes mad and overdemanding everything, father always ignore him or slap him. Here Devotee is begging in limits, not extending(Greed) and demanding those things which are actually require to balance ourself with nature.
