The dad has to go far away for work but he gets into trouble on his trip. He has been robbed of all his possessions. The father manages to sends identical letters to each of sons asking for some money to be sent so that he travel back home.<!-----The first son gets the letter. With great reverence, he gets the document framed and puts it up on his wall in a very prominent place. Every morning he wakes up early and bows to it with great respect. He even reads the letter aloud several times each day. However, this son does nothing.

| ਗਾਵੀਝ ਸਣੀਝ ਮਨਿ ਰਖੀਝ ਭਾਉ ॥ ਦਖ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਸਖ ਘਰਿ ਲੈ ਜਾਇ ॥ Gĝvī▫ai suṇī▫ai man rakẖī▫ai bẖĝ▫o. Ḏukẖ parhar sukẖ gẖar lai jĝ▫e. Sing, and listen, and let your mind be filled with love. Your pain shall be sent far away, and peace shall come to your home. ਮਨਿ = ਮਨ ਵਿੱਚ। ਰਖੀਝ = ਟਿਕਾਈਝ। ਭਾਉ = ਰੱਬ ਦਾ ਪਿਆਰ। ਦਖ ਪਰਹਰਿ = ਦੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਦੂਰ ਕਰਕੇ। ਘਰਿ = ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ। ਲੈ ਜਾਇ = ਲੈ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਖੱਟ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਆਓ, ਅਕਾਲ ਪਰਖ ਦੇ ਗਣ) ਗਾਵੀਝ ਤੇ ਸਣੀਝ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਵਿਚ ਉਸਦਾ ਪਰੇਮ ਟਿਕਾਈਝ। (ਜੋ ਮਨੱਖ ਇਹ ਆਹਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ) ਆਪਣਾ ਦੱਖ ਦੂਰ ਕਰਕੇ ਸੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ ਵਸਾ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। (Link) Just something to ponder.-------------->}}
