O mortal! What is mine and what is yours (in this world)? (Your stay in this world is transient) like a bird perched upon a tree (until dawn only). �Bhagat Ravidas, Guru Granth Sahib, 659
Message: We are but tenants in this world.� The Divine has given us life on this earth and we should make the best of it, through sharing, compassion and love. As human beings we tend to classify everything, into what is mine and what is yours.� It takes a devotee to truly accept and believe that everything is of the Divine and given by the Divine love and grace.
Etymology: Blend of Sanskrit/Pali/Prakrit taru (tree) + var (a suffix, meaningsupreme, excellent, fine, best), hence best of trees or simply tree.
