Raag Kaydaaraa - Part 006

1123 : 163
Raag Kaydaaraa, The Word Of Kabeer Jee:

1123 : 164
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1123 : 165
Those who ignore both praise and slander, who reject egotistical pride and conceit,

1123 : 166
who look alike upon iron and gold - they are the very image of the Lord God. ||1||

1123 : 167
Hardly anyone is a humble servant of Yours, O Lord.

1123 : 168
Ignoring sexual desire, anger, greed and attachment, such a person becomes aware of the Lord's Feet. ||1||Pause||

1123 : 169
Raajas, the quality of energy and activity; Taamas, the quality of darkness and inertia; and Satvas, the quality of purity and light, are all called the creations of Maya, Your illusion.

1123 : 170
That man who realizes the fourth state - he alone obtains the supreme state. ||2||

1123 : 171
Amidst pilgrimages, fasting, rituals, purification and self-discipline, he remains always without thought of reward.

1123 : 172
Thirst and desire for Maya and doubt depart, remembering the Lord, the Supreme Soul. ||3||

1123 : 173
When the temple is illuminated by the lamp, its darkness is dispelled.

1123 : 174
The Fearless Lord is All-pervading. Doubt has run away, says Kabeer, the Lord's humble slave. ||4||1||

1123 : 175
Some deal in bronze and copper, some in cloves and betel nuts.

1123 : 176
The Saints deal in the Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe. Such is my merchandise as well. ||1||

1123 : 177
I am a trader in the Name of the Lord.

1123 : 178
The priceless diamond has come into my hands. I have left the world behind. ||1||Pause||

1123 : 179
When the True Lord attached me, then I was attached to Truth. I am a trader of the True Lord.

Continued...

1123 : 180
I have loaded the commodity of Truth; It has reached the Lord, the Treasurer. ||2||

1123 : 181
He Himself is the pearl, the jewel, the ruby; He Himself is the jeweller.

1123 : 182
He Himself spreads out in the ten directions. The Merchant is Eternal and Unchanging. ||3||

1123 : 183
My mind is the bull, and meditation is the road; I have filled my packs with spiritual wisdom, and loaded them on the bull.

1123 : 184
Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints: my merchandise has reached its destination! ||4||2||

1123 : 185
You barbaric brute, with your primitive intellect - reverse your breath and turn it inward.

1123 : 186
Let your mind be intoxicated with the stream of Ambrosial Nectar which trickles down from the furnace of the Tenth Gate. ||1||

1123 : 187
O Siblings of Destiny, call on the Lord.

1123 : 188
O Saints, drink in this wine forever; it is so difficult to obtain, and it quenches your thirst so easily. ||1||Pause||

1123 : 189
In the Fear of God, is the Love of God. Only those few who understand His Love obtain the sublime essence of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny.

1123 : 190
As many hearts as there are - in all of them, is His Ambrosial Nectar; as He pleases, He causes them to drink it in. ||2||

1123 : 191
There are nine gates to the one city of the body; restrain your mind from escaping through them.

1123 : 192
When the knot of the three qualities is untied, then the Tenth Gate opens up, and the mind is intoxicated, O Siblings of Destiny. ||3||

1123 : 193
When the mortal fully realizes the state of fearless dignity, then his sufferings vanish; so says Kabeer after careful deliberation.

1123 : 194
Turning away from the world, I have obtained this wine, and I am intoxicated with it. ||4||3||

1123 : 195
You are engrossed with unsatisfied sexual desire and unresolved anger; you do not know the State of the One Lord.

1123 : 196
Your eyes are blinded, and you see nothing at all. You drown and die without water. ||1||
