Ego

तिमिर गया रवि देखते, कुमति गयी गुरु ज्ञान |

सुमति गयी अति लोभाते, भक्ति गयी अभिमान ||

 

Darkness disappears

when the sun arises

and ignorance goes away

by the Guru’s wisdom (gyan).

Wisdom is lost because of greed,

and devotion is lost because of ego.

~~ Kabir ❤

My mind

Go slow my mind,

everything happens at its own pace.

The gardener may water with a hundred pots,

but the fruit will appear only in its season.

 

❤ Kabir

Sweet words

 

मधुर वचन है औषधि, कुटिल वचन है तीर |

श्रवन द्वार है संचरे, साले सकल सरीर ||

 

Sweet words are like medicine,

harsh words are like arrows.

Which enter through the doors of the ears,

give distress to the whole body.

 

~~Kabir

It is not Meditation

 

 

माला तो कर में फिरे, जीभ फिरे मुख माहि |

मनुआ तो चहुं दिश फिरे, यह तो सुमिरन नाहि ||

 

The  rotating  rosary by the hand,

(or) the tongue twisting in the mouth,

With the mind wandering everywhere,

this isn’t meditation (Oh uncouth!).

 

~~ Kabir

 

Critics

निंदक नियरे राखिये, आँगन कुटी छवाय |

बिन पानी बिन साबुन, निर्मल करे सुभाव ||

Keep your critic close, you get to know your faults if someone criticizes you, and you have a chance to correct them. Give your critics shelter in your courtyard and listen to the criticism without annoyance, because critic is not your enemy, he is helping you to clean the rubbish from your life without soap and water.

~~ Kabir

moments

Tomorrows work do today, today’s work now

If the moment is lost, how will the work be done?

 

काल करे सो आज कर, आज करै सो अब |
पल में परलय होयगी, बहुरी करेगा कब ||

 

 

Kabir

 

Real king -Quote

 

If your wishes ends,

than your anxiety and trouble will also end,

and your mind will be fearless.

One who doesn,t need anything,

he is a real king”
