Once someone asked Guru Har Rai Ji a question about the benefits of reciting Gurbani every day. They asked, “Guru Ji, may I ask a question?” Of course, the Guru lovingly allowed the question, "We always sing so much Gurbani. Sometimes we don't understand what we are singing. Is there any use in singing these holy words when we don't know what they mean?”

Guru Ji didn't answer at that moment, he just smiled and waited till he could answer by giving a practical example.

He waited a few days until everyone was riding somewhere together on their horses. Guru Ji asked all of them to stop and asked to bring a piece of a broken pot that was lying there. One of the Sikhs brought a piece of the clay pot over. The pot used to have butter in it. It had been laying in the sun and the butter had melted into the sides of the pot. The shiny butter left a streak down the inside of the piece.

Guru Ji explained that this is exactly what happens when we sing Gurbani. The Sikhs wondered what he meant by that. He continued, “Even when we don't understand Gurbani, but when we sing it with devotion it still sticks to our hearts, just as the butter stuck to this pot."

They began to understand why he had them bring the greasy piece of pot over, "Someday the sunlight of knowledge will come to our minds and then, just like this butter it will melt and the Gurbani in our hearts will turn to wisdom."

Guru Ji showed them the great benefit of Gurbani, "Even if we don't understand it, Gurbani is the seed of our liberation.”
