Revision history [back]

ਜੇ ਘਰਿ ਹੋਦੈ ਮੰਗਣਿ ਜਾਈਐ ਫਿਰਿ ਓਲਾਮਾ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਹੀ ॥੮॥੧॥ If someone goes out to beg for what is already in his own home, then he should be chastised. ||8||1||

Satsriakal ji, what exactly is the meaning of the verse above? When Guruji talks about going out to beg for what is already in his own home, is he refering to home in the literal sense, or home as in our body? Also what exactly is the context of this quote?

Thank you for clearing my confusion on the matter.
