stones, Kabir laments In the duel of wheels, nothing stays intact.] ** Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye [I searched for the crooked man, met not a single one Then searched myself, "I" found the crooked one] ** Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub [Tomorrow's work do today, today's work now if the moment is lost, the work be done how] ** Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye [Speak such words, sans ego's ploy Body remains composed, giving the listener joy] ** Dheere Dheere Re Mana, Dheere Sub Kutch Hoye Mali Seenche So Ghara, Ritu Aaye Phal Hoye [Slowly slowly O mind, everything in own pace happens The gardiner may water with a hundred buckets, fruit arrives only in its season] ** Sayeen Itna Deejiye, Ja Mein Kutumb Samaye Main Bhi Bhookha Na Rahun, Sadhu Na Bhookha Jaye [Give so much, O God, suffice to envelop my clan I should not suffer cravings, nor the visitor go unfed] ** Bada Hua To Kya Hua, Jaise Ped Khajoor Panthi Ko Chaya Nahin, Phal Laage Atidoor [In vain is the eminence, just like a date tree No shade for travelers, fruit is hard to reach] ** Jaise Til Mein Tel Hai, Jyon Chakmak Mein Aag Tera Sayeen Tujh Mein Hai, Tu Jaag Sake To Jaag [Just as seed contains the oil, fire's in flint stone Your temple seats the Divine, realize if you can] ** Kabira Khara Bazaar Mein, Mange Sabki Khair Na Kahu Se Dosti, Na Kahu Se Bair [Kabira in the market place, wishes welfare of all Neither friendship nor enmity with anyone at all] ** Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye [Reading books where everyone died, none became anymore wise One who reads the word of Love, only becomes wise] ** Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye

A fish always live in water but the sting of the body doesn t removes doesn t go away. Meaning: -This is a very strong remark on the orthodox people in general. Who think they are better than other just because they have taken bath few times everyday and go to the temple or mosque or church to pray and follow rituals for the sake of following. Kabir Das compares these people with the fish (meen) who is always submerged in water. So she should be very clean by default. Yet, as we know, fish are one of the stingiest creatures. So the gist of this doha is that we should follow rules and regulations but not just for the sake of following. We should ultimately come to the point where they lead us, namely, love of God. Meetha sab se boliye, faile sukh chahun ore Washikarn hai mantra yehi, taj de vachan kathore!! -Kabeer

Pehle Agan Birha Ki, Pachhe Prem Ki Pyas Kahe Kabir Tub Janiye, Naam Milan Ki Aaas Translation First the pain of separation, then the thirst for Love Says Kabir, only then will you know Joy of the Union. Meaning First the pain of separation, then love. Only from the pain of separation do we feel the pangs of love. There is then hope of union. This is the story of life - the lovers meeting, separating, the pangs of love and the urge for union and the eventual union. In Sufi tradition it is a reflection of man and God - realization of the separation from God, the pangs of love and urge for union with God, and the eventual joy of union.

Ek Kahun To Hai Nahin, Do Kahun To Gaari Hai Jaisa Taisa Rahe, Kahe Kabir Bichari Translation If I say one, It is not; If I say two, it will be a violation Let 'It' be whatever 'It' is, so says Kabir contemplating Meaning There is a oneness behind the apparent diversity. But oneness is not seen. Yet if I accept duality, it would be a violation, a false acceptance. Let it be, whatever it is - I'll drop the analyzing.

Pothi Padh Padh Kar Jag Mua, Pandit Bhayo Na Koye Dhai Aakhar Prem Ke, Jo Padhe so Pandit Hoye Translation Reading Books and Scriptures everyone died, No one became Pandit Two and Half Words of Love, Who ever reads, Pandit he becomes Meaning Forget about book learning, no mater how many books you read, you won't become wise, you won't became the Pundit. A few words of love and you'll become Pundit. Try it. Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye Translation While Suffering everyone Prays and Remembers Him, in joy no one does If one prays and remembers Him in happiness, why would sorrow come? Meaning The suffering you experience in the world is designed to wake you up. You wake up when you realize God. If you did that during your happy times, then you will not experience suffering.

Kabir clearly suggests in this Doha that while conducting our actions, we should be diligent. We should not get attached or enslaved by them and thereby get trapped in the quagmire of ego, greed, hatred, fear, procrastination, etc. Only when one is non-attached to the fruits of the action, only then one can be free from the bondage, only then one can be liberated while full of life. Kabir So Dhan Sanchiye, Jo Aage Ko Hoye Sees Charaye Potli, Le Jaat Na Dekhya Koye Kabir, save the wealth that 'remains' in the moment ultimate Departing with a crown of material wealth, none has crossed the gate Kabir, save the wealth that remains in the imminent future Departing with a bag of wealth, none has yet been seen.

any depletion of its water due to this. Similarly one does not decrease his wealth by giving donation.

One who abuses a good person invites disaster for himself. He goes to hell and changes his state of mind every time. He cannot attain salvation in any manner. You were entangled in the sensual pleasures. This is how you have wasted your life. You are repenting today. You should remind your past actions. Dont just insist for something without sense. Just by your insisting the thing cannot happen. The gunny bags of salt will gain weight every moment if these are immmersed in water. Knowledge, association with good, love, happiness, mercy, devotion and faith. All this after being in the service at the feet of a good preceptor.

Guru Kumbhar Shish Kumbh Hai A preceptor is like a potter (earthman) and a disciple Gadi Gadi Kadhe Khot is like a pot. A potter hits the pot from outside and Andar Haat Savar De provides every support from within. Bahar Mare Chot Kabira Man Panchi Bhaya Bhave Taha Aa Jaaye Jo Jaisi Sangat Kare So Taisa Phal Paye Sheel Shama Jab Upaje Alakh Drishti Tab Hoye Bin Sheel Pahuche Nahi Laakh Kathe Jo Koye Kabira Gyan Bichar Bin Hari Dhundhan Ko Jaye Tan Me Tirloki Base Ab Tak Parkha Naye Maya Taje To Kya Hua Maan Taja Naa Jaaye Maan Bade Munivar Gaye Maan Saban Ko Khaye Kade Abhimaan Na Kijiye Kaha Kabir Samajhaye Ja Seer Aha Jo Sanchare Pade Chouryasi Jaaye Sukha Ke Sangi Swarthi Dukh Me Rahate Door Kahe Kabir Parmarathi Dukh Sukh Sada Hujoor A mind is like a bird. It goes where it likes. The results one gets is for the company he keeps. When one experiences great qualities like good character and mercy rising in his mind then one can see the truth. Without this there is no other path to the truth. Kabir says that you are searching God without proper thinking and knowledge. He is there within you. You dont know how to see. It is very easy to give up efforts and lose weath. It is really very difficult to give up the ego. Very great and analytical people have fallen victim to ego. The ego is killing one and all.

Dont have ego. He who has ego is restless always.

The fair weather friends stay away when we face the rough weather. Those who understand the truth are with us at all times.

It is always better to be humble. Being humble is an effective way of getting results. The Moon of the second day ( after the no moon day) is loved by all.

Your mind is affected by the food that you consume. Your voice is the reflection of the drinks you have. Kabir says that the people who do not understand Guru are blind. If God is displeased with us then Guru is there for salvation. If he is displeased there can be no salvation. As the elephant has patience it eats till its mind is satisfied. But the impatient dog runs here and there in the hope of food. It is better if one can just have a chance of looking at the purified butter. It is not good to eat oil. It is good to have a sensible person as our enemy than to befriend a fool. A good person is like a sandal tree. The world is like a snake. The snake resides on the sandal tree but the sandal tree does not become poisonous to any extent.

A tree tells a leave that listen to the tradition of my family. It is that one comes while another goes.

When ego will go then someone else will come. When the mind becomes calm then the truth is revealed. Niether the wealth has permanance nor the youth. What someone can have forever is his good name. This someone can achieve only after working for the wellbeing of others. Our mind is delighted in having sensual pleasures. Let us understand that the world is being devoured by the time. Somebody is in the mouth while others are on the platter. When Kabir is asked to teach an intellectual then he feels shy. What is the use of showing dancing skills to one who is blind.

Dont have ego. Dont talk big. A diamond never says that it has a great cost.

You should speak sweet honeyed words. You should not have ego. Your beloved is in your mind and your enemy is also there. The earth bears the digging. The forest bears the axe. A person who is good bears the harsh words. Others cannot bear the harsh words. There are many colors of the mind. The mind is always changing its color. He is very rare whose mind does not change color. Everyone likes eating sugar. This results in spreading of poison in the body. None likes to drink juice of Neem leaves. This can cure the body from all diseases. Listen everybody to the preaching of a good preacher. There are many ways of sensual enjoyment. But one should abstain from any such way. A desire for others wife is like a mine of garlic. A person can eat garlic hiding from all. But the fact of his having consumed garlic is clear to anyone who meets him. One may read, listen and learn everything. But after doing all this he has confusion. Kabir is at pains to explain that confusion is the root of sorrow. First you should understand what has been said by others. Then you can make the valuation of the words that you have listened. A goldsmith can test the purity of gold. One does not have any means for the valuation and weighment of words. When your mind is raged then you should not react to the words. One does not have any means for the valuation and weighment of words. The fools do not understand this and lose their balance while talking. Efforts can accomplish everything. Nothing can be accomplished without taking efforts. A purified butter that is frozen cannot be taken out with a straight finger. One should not abuse a blade of grass under ones feet. If that happens to strike on ones eye then there will be terrific pain. Dont disregard the world at large under the notion that you belong to a great family. Where will be the prestige of your family on the day on which you will have to depart from the world.

Everyone talks about delusion. No one understands what it is. The one that wraps the mind should be identified as delusion. Offer to the needy whatever you can. Speak sweet honeyed words to all. This is how you will come to know the eternal spirit. An ice becomes water in the course of time. The water that has become a pearl will never again become water. A man of lust or a man of anger can get salvation. A man of greed can come to the right path. But a person who drinks wine is never seen as being saved in this world. He who has arrows of lust pricked in his chest does not know how to tame his body or mind. The one lust has occupied the mind of all. The divine creatures, human beings and the people undertaking penance have been made to lose the peace by the lust. The utmost wonder is that the time devours everything.

A restless mind is not a mind in good state. Only the mind that becomes stable can get rest.

A good disciple remains in the service of preceptor. A person who is senseless can never be a good disciple. If you will be at the feet of the preceptor then you will experience the glow of knowledge. You should break the sphere of delusion and maintain your independence. A person who has his arms tied meets others whose arms are also tied. Now how should they set themselves free. If they meet the one whose arms are not tied then he will set them free immediately. The waves of sea spread the pearls on the sea-shore. A heron cannot understand how to identify a pearl. A swan carefully identifies the pearls and gets satisfied.

Dont shirk to meet a good person. An intoxicated or lethargic mind causes loss of wealth.

A good person is an ocean of pearls. Those who are not intelligent end with handful of sand after meeting a good person. A good person wants that you should have faith in what he says. He is not after your money. He who roams for money is not a good person. Dont go after the outward appearance. See whether he has the right knowledge. A goldsmith cannot verify the purity of gold without putting it to test. A deer has the fragrance in itself and runs throughout the forest for finding it. Similarly Ram is everywhere but the world does not see.

A coal becomes white when put on fire. A fool does not shun his foolishness after any treatment.

Dont feel proud. Dont mock at anybody. Your life is like a boat in the sea. Who can say what may happen at any time. A person who makes earthen pots from the earth beats the earth under his feet to facilitate fine moulding work. See how the destiny works. His body is decomposed in the same earth after his death. He who comes to this world has to depart. He may be a king or a fakir. He who departs also comes back due to his effects of past actions. A shell in the ocean does not take any salty water from the ocean. It drinks the raindrops falling during the period of Swati Constellation and adds to the beauty of the ocean. If someone is able to have a privilege of being in the company of a good preceptor then he has the privilege of being in the company of all. Otherwise he does not understand any relation. The relatives like mother, father, son and brother are there in all families. It is better to meditate on Guru. He who meditates on anything else will be devoured by the time. Dont say that you belong to a very prominent caste. This is nothing for which you should beat drums. You are wasting your breaths and standing separated from the eternal spirit.

It is difficult to serve others. I am serving those who are serving others. Now I long to become like a grass under the feet of people. Being detached means renouncing the sensual pleasures. Knowledge means equanimity. Devotion means creating happiness for all the beings. The palace of devotion has a very great height. This one can observe from a distance. Whoever is engaged in devotion, words fall short for describing his beauty. This world is like a flower that traps a bee. Dont get overwhelmed by what you experience for a while.

On the last day there will be separation from everybody. This should be understood by one and all.

Your mind should have devotion to come out of the loop of fear. He who is good at speaking understands that there is no wealth like words. A diamond can be purchased for a value. One do not just have any means for valuation of word. You have the access to the name of Ram without any cost. Why dont you have access to it as much as you can. Otherwise at the last moment of your life you will feel sorry. A state of being asleep is at par with the state of being dead. Therefore Kabir should get up. He should shun everything else and remember the God.
