If bronze, gold, and iron are broken, a blacksmith welds them together by putting them in fire. -Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 143
Message: Fixing a faulty ego
If a piece of metal breaks into smithereens then a blacksmith welds them together by heating them in fire.
Similarly we need a connector or a medium which can reunite us with divinity that we are separated from.
That medium is: acknowledgement, appreciation and emulation of the virtues and presence of the Divine in our lives.
If we want to rediscover our divine potential then we should pay heed to the Guru�s call. We should take a step forward and like the blacksmith, knock our egoism to shape, so that it can reconnect with the Divine.
Etymology: From Sanskrit lohakaar (iron worker) ? Pali lohakaar (coppersmith, ironsmith) ? Prakrit lohaar (blacksmith) ? Sindhi luhaaru and Lahndi/Punjabi luhaar (blacksmith).
