They take the noose and run around; but rest assured that God shall destroy them. ||10||
1365
:
40
Kabeer, the sandalwood tree is good, even though it is surrounded by weeds.
1365
:
41
Those who dwell near the sandalwood tree, become just like the sandalwood tree. ||11||
1365
:
42
Kabeer, the bamboo is drowned in its egotistical pride. No one should drown like this.
1365
:
43
Bamboo also dwells near the sandalwood tree, but it does not take up its fragrance. ||12||
1365
:
44
Kabeer, the mortal loses his faith, for the sake of the world, but the world shall not go along with him in the end.
1365
:
45
The idiot strikes his own foot with the axe by his own hand. ||13||
1365
:
46
Kabeer, wherever I go, I see wonders everywhere.
1365
:
47
But without the devotees of the One Lord, it is all wilderness to me. ||14||
1365
:
48
Kabeer, the dwelling of the Saints is good; the dwelling of the unrighteous burns like an oven.
1365
:
49
Those mansions in which the Lord's Name is not chanted might just as well burn down. ||15||
1365
:
50
Kabeer, why cry at the death of a Saint? He is just going back to his home.
1365
:
51
Cry for the wretched, faithless cynic, who is sold from store to store. ||16||
1365
:
52
Kabeer, the faithless cynic is like a piece of garlic.
1365
:
53
Even if you eat it sitting in a corner, it becomes obvious to everyone. ||17||
1365
:
54
Kabeer, Maya is the butter-churn, and the breath is the churning-stick.
1365
:
55
The Saints eat the butter, while the world drinks the whey. ||18||
1365
:
56
Kabeer, Maya is the butter-churn; the breath flows like ice water.
1365
:
57
Whoever does the churning eats the butter; the others are just churning-sticks. ||19||
1365
:
58
Kabeer, Maya is the thief, which breaks in and plunders the store.
1365
:
59
Only Kabeer is not plundered; he has cut her into twelve pieces. ||20||
1365
:
60
Kabeer, peace does not come in this world by making lots of friends.
1365
:
61
Those who keep their consciousness focused on the One Lord shall find eternal peace. ||21||
1365
:
62
Kabeer, the world is afraid of death - that death fills my mind with bliss.
1365
:
63
It is only by death that perfect, supreme bliss is obtained. ||22||
1365
:
64
The Treasure of the Lord is obtained, O Kabeer, but do not undo its knot.
1365
:
65
There is no market to sell it, no appraiser, no customer, and no price. ||23||
1365
:
66
Kabeer, be in love with only that one, whose Master is the Lord.
1365
:
67
The Pandits, the religious scholars, kings and landlords - what good is love for them? ||24||
1365
:
68
Kabeer, when you are in love with the One Lord, duality and alienation depart.
1365
:
69
You may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald. ||25||
1365
:
70
Kabeer, the world is a room filled with black soot; the blind fall into its trap.
1365
:
71
I am a sacrifice to those who are thrown in, and still escape. ||26||
1365
:
72
Kabeer, this body shall perish; save it, if you can.
1365
:
73
Even those who have tens of thousands and millions, must depart bare-footed in the end. ||27||
1365
:
74
Kabeer, this body shall perish; place it on the path.
1365
:
75
Either join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, or sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||28||
1365
:
76
Kabeer, dying, dying, the whole world has to die, and yet, none know how to die.
