If a mirror ever makes
you sad
you
should know
that it does
not know
you.

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 ❤
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
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
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
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
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
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”
~ Kabir
