Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

As Muslims bury their dead in the ground, they become part of the mittee of the earth. A potter takes the mittee from the earth, whether it be from a grave or not, and uses this mittee to make pots. The point Guru Ji has made here is that even though Muslims bury their dead, they will eventually be cremated in fire one way or the other. This is one of the reasons why we cremate our dead, not bury them.
