to find the incomprehensible thing.

656 : 2453
I have found this incomprehensible thing;

656 : 2454
my mind is illuminated and enlightened. ||2||

656 : 2455
Says Kabeer, now I know Him;

656 : 2456
since I know Him, my mind is pleased and appeased.

656 : 2457
My mind is pleased and appeased, and yet, people do not believe it.

656 : 2458

Practicing great hypocrisy, he acquires the wealth of others.

656 : 2470
Returning home, he squanders it on his wife and children. ||1||

656 : 2471
O my mind, do not practice deception, even inadvertently.

656 : 2472
In the end, your own soul shall have to answer for its account. ||1||Pause||

656 : 2473
Moment by moment, the body is wearing away, and old age is asserting itself.

656 : 2474

656 : 2476
Why not chant the Lord's Name in your heart, when you are still young? ||3||9||

656 : 2477

656 : 2478
It seems that I have learned something of the science of Yoga. ||Pause||

656 : 2479
The Guru has shown me the hole,

656 : 2480
through which the deer carefully enters.

656 : 2481
I have now closed off the doors,

656 : 2482
and the unstruck celestial sound current resounds. ||1||

The pitcher of my heart-lotus is filled with water;

656 : 2484
I have spilled out the water, and set it upright.

656 : 2485

656 : 2490
I beg for the dust of the feet of the Saints.

656 : 2491
I do not owe anyone anything. ||1||

656 : 2492
O Lord, how can I be with You?

656 : 2493
If You do not give me Yourself, then I shall beg until I get You. ||Pause||

I ask for two kilos of flour,

656 : 2495
and half a pound of ghee, and salt.

656 : 2503
Your Name is the only ornament I wish for.

656 : 2504
Says Kabeer, my mind is pleased and appeased;

656 : 2505
now that my mind is pleased and appeased, I have come to know the Lord. ||4||11||
