ਪਉੜੀ ੧੧

With the touch of philosopher's stone the eight metals become one metal and people call it gold.

That beautiful metal becomes gold and the jewellers also prove it to be gold.

Stone does not become philosopher's stone even after getting touched by it because the pride of family and hardness remains present in it (in fact the philosopher's stone is also but a stone).

Thrown in water, the stone full of pride of its weight sinks at once.

Hard-hearted stone never gets wet and from inside remains as dry as it was earlier. It only learns how to break pitchers.

It cracks when put in fire and becomes brittle when hammered on anvil.

Such person's also even after listening to the teachings of the Guru in the holy congregation do not keep to their heart the importance of the teachings.

Showing fake affection, none can forcibly prove to be truthful.
