Why do you walk in that crooked, zig-zag way?
1124
:
198
You are nothing more than a bundle of bones, wrapped in skin, filled with manure; you give off such a rotten smell! ||1||Pause||
1124
:
199
You do not meditate on the Lord. What doubts have confused and deluded you? Death is not far away from you!
1124
:
200
Making all sorts of efforts, you manage to preserve this body, but it shall only survive until its time is up. ||2||
1124
:
201
By one's own efforts, nothing is done. What can the mere mortal accomplish?
1124
:
202
When it pleases the Lord, the mortal meets the True Guru, and chants the Name of the One Lord. ||3||
1124
:
203
You live in a house of sand, but you still puff up your body - you ignorant fool!

Says Kabeer, those who do not remember the Lord may be very clever, but they still drown. ||4||4||
1124
:
205
Your turban is crooked, and you walk crooked; and now you have started chewing betel leaves.
1124
:
206
You have no use at all for loving devotional worship; you say you have business in court. ||1||
1124
:
207
In your egotistical pride, you have forgotten the Lord.
1124
:
208
Gazing upon your gold, and your very beautiful wife, you believe that they are permanent. ||1||Pause||
1124
:
209
You are engrossed in greed, falsehood, corruption and great arrogance. Your life is passing away.
1124
:
210
Says Kabeer, at the very last moment, death will come and seize you, you fool! ||2||5||
1124
:
211
The mortal beats the drum for a few days, and then he must depart.
1124
:
212
With so much wealth and cash and buried treasure, still, he cannot take anything with him. ||1||Pause||
1124
:
213
Sitting on the threshhold, his wife weeps and wails; his mother accompanies him to the outer gate.
1124
:
214
All the people and relatives together go to the crematorium, but the swan-soul must go home all alone. ||1||
1124
:
215
Those children, that wealth, that city and town - he shall not come to see them again.
1124
:
216
Says Kabeer, why do you not meditate on the Lord? Your life is uselessly slipping away! ||2||6||

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
1124
:
219
One who performs the six religious rituals and comes from a good family, but who does not have devotion to the Lord in his heart,
1124
:
220
one who does not appreciate talk of the Lord's Lotus Feet, is just like an outcaste, a pariah. ||1||
1124
:
221
Be conscious, be conscious, be conscious, O my unconscious mind.
1124
:
222
Why do you not look at Baalmeek?
1124
:
223
From such a low social status, what a high status he obtained! Devotional worship to the Lord is sublime! ||1||Pause||
1124
:
224
The killer of dogs, the lowest of all, was lovingly embraced by Krishna.
1124
:
225
See how the poor people praise him! His praise extends throughout the three worlds. ||2||
1124
:
226
Ajaamal, Pingulaa, Lodhia and the elephant went to the Lord.
1124
:
227
Even such evil-minded beings were emancipated. Why should you not also be saved, O Ravi Daas? ||3||1||
