Shaloks Of Devotee Kabeer Jee - Part 003

1366 : 77
Let those who die, die such a death, that they shall never have to die again. ||29||

1366 : 78
Kabeer, it is so difficult to obtain this human body; it does not just come over and over again.

1366 : 79
It is like the ripe fruit on the tree; when it falls to the ground, it cannot be re-attached to the branch. ||30||

1366 : 80
Kabeer, you are Kabeer; your name means great.

1366 : 81
O Lord, You are Kabeer. The Jewel of the Lord is obtained, when the mortal first gives up his body. ||31||

1366 : 82
Kabeer, do not struggle in stubborn pride; nothing happens just because you say so.

1366 : 83
No one can erase the actions of the Merciful Lord. ||32||

1366 : 84
Kabeer, no one who is false can withstand the Touchstone of the Lord.

1366 : 85
He alone can pass the test of the Lord's Touchstone, who remains dead while yet alive. ||33||

1366 : 86
Kabeer, some wear gaudy robes, and chew betel leaves and betel nuts.

1366 : 87
Without the Name of the One Lord, they are bound and gagged and taken to the City of Death. ||34||

1366 : 88
Kabeer, the boat is old, and it has thousands of holes.

1366 : 89
Those who are light get across, while those who carry the weight of their sins on their heads are drowned. ||35||

1366 : 90
Kabeer, the bones burn like wood, and the hair burns like straw.

1366 : 91
Seeing the world burning like this, Kabeer has become sad. ||36||

1366 : 92
Kabeer, do not be so proud of your bones wrapped up in skin.

1366 : 93
Those who were on their horses and under their canopies, were eventually buried under the ground. ||37||

1366 : 94
Kabeer, do not be so proud of your tall mansions.

1366 : 95
Today or tomorrow, you shall lie beneath the ground, and the grass shall grow above you. ||38||

1366 : 96
Kabeer, do not be so proud, and do not laugh at the poor.

1366 : 97
Your boat is still out at sea; who knows what will happen? ||39||

1366 : 98
Kabeer, do not be so proud, looking at your beautiful body.

1366 : 99
Today or tomorrow, you will have to leave it behind, like the snake shedding its skin. ||40||

1366 : 100
Kabeer, if you must rob and plunder, then plunder the plunder of the Lord's Name.

1366 : 101
Otherwise, in the world hereafter, you will regret and repent, when the breath of life leaves the body. ||41||

1366 : 102
Kabeer, there is no one born, who burns his own home,

1366 : 103
and burning his five sons, remains lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||42||

1366 : 104
Kabeer, how rare are those who sell their son and sell their daughter

1366 : 105
and, entering into partnership with Kabeer, deal with the Lord. ||43||

1366 : 106
Kabeer, let me remind you of this. Do not be skeptical or cynical.

1366 : 107
Those pleasures which you enjoyed so much in the past - now you must eat their fruits. ||44||

1366 : 108
Kabeer, at first, I thought learning was good; then I thought Yoga was better.

1366 : 109
I shall never abandon devotional worship of the Lord, even though people may slander me. ||45||

1366 : 110
Kabeer, how can the wretched people slander me? They have no wisdom or intelligence.

1366 : 111
Kabeer continues to dwell upon the Lord's Name; I have abandoned all other affairs. ||46||

1366 : 112
Kabeer, the robe of the stranger-soul has caught fire on all four sides.

1366 : 113
The cloth of the body has been burnt and reduced to charcoal, but the fire did not touch the thread of the soul. ||47||

1366 : 114
Kabeer, the cloth has been burnt and reduced to charcoal, and the begging bowl is shattered into pieces.

1366 : 115
The poor Yogi has played out his game; only ashes remain on his seat. ||48||
