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.
The second son also gets the letter. He reads his father's instructions,  he shoves the letter into his pocket and instantly runs off to get  money and send it to his father.
Which son has more respect (satkaar) for his father? The one who merely worships the word or the one that actually follows it?
Perhaps we are so focused on external displays of respect and/or  disrespect for our "father", Guru Granth Sahib, that we  have forgotten what real respect is. Perhaps the reason we don't respect  externally is that we don't respect internally. Our actions betray our  thoughts and our values.
I think it is internal satkaar (submission, internalization and obedience) leads to external satkaar.
