1370 : 227
He himself is drowning in the four Vedas; he drowns his disciples as well. ||104||

1370 : 228
Kabeer, whatever sins the mortal has committed, he tries to keep hidden under cover.

1370 : 229
But in the end, they shall all be revealed, when the Righteous Judge of Dharma investigates. ||105||

1370 : 230
Kabeer, you have given up meditating on the Lord, and you have raised a large family.

1370 : 231
You continue to involve yourself in worldly affairs, but none of your brothers and relatives remain. ||106||

1370 : 232
Kabeer, those who give up meditation on the Lord, and get up at night to wake the spirits of the dead,

1370 : 233
shall be reincarnated as snakes, and eat their own offspring. ||107||

1370 : 234
Kabeer, the woman who gives up meditation on the Lord, and observes the ritual fast of Ahoi,

1370 : 235
shall be reincarnated as a donkey, to carry heavy burdens. ||108||

1370 : 236
Kabeer, it is the most clever wisdom, to chant and meditate on the Lord in the heart.

1370 : 237
It is like playing on a pig; if you fall off, you will find no place of rest. ||109||

1370 : 238
Kabeer, blessed is that mouth, which utters the Lord's Name.

1370 : 239
It purifies the body, and the whole village as well. ||110||

1370 : 240
Kabeer, that family is good, in which the Lord's slave is born.

1370 : 241
But that family in which the Lord's slave is not born is as useless as weeds. ||111||

1370 : 242
Kabeer, some have lots of horses, elephants and carriages, and thousands of banners waving.

1370 : 243
But begging is better than these comforts, if one spends his days meditating in remembrance on the Lord. ||112||

1370 : 244
Kabeer, I have wandered all over the world, carrying the drum on my shoulder.

1370 : 245
No one belongs to anyone else; I have looked and carefully studied it. ||113||

1370 : 246
The pearls are scattered on the road; the blind man comes along.

1370 : 247
Without the Light of the Lord of the Universe, the world just passes them by. ||114||

1370 : 248
My family is drowned, O Kabeer, since the birth of my son Kamaal.

1370 : 249
He has given up meditating on the Lord, in order to bring home wealth. ||115||

1370 : 250
Kabeer, go out to meet the holy man; do not take anyone else with you.

1370 : 251
Do not turn back - keep on going. Whatever will be, will be. ||116||

1370 : 252
Kabeer, do not bind yourself with that chain, which binds the whole world.

1370 : 253
As the salt is lost in the flour, so shall your golden body be lost. ||117||

1370 : 254
Kabeer, the soul-swan is flying away, and the body is being buried, and still he makes gestures.

1370 : 255
Even then, the mortal does not give up the cruel look in his eyes. ||118||

1370 : 256
Kabeer: with my eyes, I see You, Lord; with my ears, I hear Your Name.

1370 : 257
With my tongue I chant Your Name; I enshrine Your Lotus Feet within my heart. ||119||

1370 : 258
Kabeer, I have been spared from heaven and hell, by the Grace of the True Guru.

1370 : 259
From beginning to end, I abide in the joy of the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||120||

1370 : 260
Kabeer, how can I even describe the extent of the joy of the Lord's Lotus Feet?

1370 : 261
I cannot describe its sublime glory; it has to be seen to be appreciated. ||121||

1370 : 262
Kabeer, how can I describe what I have seen? No one will believe my words.

1370 : 263
The Lord is just as He is. I dwell in delight, singing His Glorious Praises. ||122||
