to find the incomprehensible thing.

I have found this incomprehensible thing;

my mind is illuminated and enlightened. ||2||

Says Kabeer, now I know Him;

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

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

They do not believe it, so what can I do? ||3||7||

In his heart there is deception, and yet in his mouth are words of wisdom.

You are false - why are you churning water? ||1||

Why do you bother to wash your body?

Your heart is still full of filth. ||1||Pause||

The gourd may be washed at the sixty-eight sacred shrines,

but even then, its bitterness is not removed. ||2||

Says Kabeer after deep contemplation,

please help me cross over the terrifying world-ocean, O Lord, O Destroyer of ego. ||3||8||

Sorat'h:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Practicing great hypocrisy, he acquires the wealth of others.

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

O my mind, do not practice deception, even inadvertently.

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

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

And then, when you are old, no one shall pour water into your cup. ||2||

Says Kabeer, no one belongs to you.

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

O Saints, my windy mind has now become peaceful and still.

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

The Guru has shown me the hole,

through which the deer carefully enters.

I have now closed off the doors,

and the unstruck celestial sound current resounds. ||1||

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

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

Says Kabeer, the Lord's humble servant, this I know.

Now that I know this, my mind is pleased and appeased. ||2||10||

Raag Sorat'h:

I am so hungry, I cannot perform devotional worship service.

Here, Lord, take back Your mala.

I beg for the dust of the feet of the Saints.

I do not owe anyone anything. ||1||

O Lord, how can I be with You?

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

I ask for two kilos of flour,

and half a pound of ghee, and salt.

I ask for a pound of beans,

which I shall eat twice a day. ||2||

I ask for a cot, with four legs,

and a pillow and mattress.

I ask for a quilt to cover myself.

Your humble servant shall perform Your devotional worship service with love. ||3||

I have no greed;

Your Name is the only ornament I wish for.

Says Kabeer, my mind is pleased and appeased;

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

Raag Sorat'h, The Word Of Devotee Naam Dayv Jee, Second House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

When I see Him, I sing His Praises.

Then I, his humble servant, become patient. ||1||
