Raga Ramkali (Contd.)
Bhagat Kabir Ji
The Maya that binds all has bound me down too,
but the Guru, the Redeemer has quenched my Fire.
When this mind Realised from end to end. Then I bathed at the fount of my self.
Bhagat Namdev Ji
Of the paper, one makes the kite, and lo, it flies across the skies.
But while one chit-chats with the friends around, one keeps one’s mind in the string.
So is my mind pierced through by God’s Name,
as the goldsmiths keeps his mind absorbed in his creation.
As the young girls, with pitcher full of water perched on their heads, roam the streets,
they chat and giggle and discourse on all things, but keep their mind always in the pitcher.
Bhagat Ravidas Ji
We read, hear and reflect upon a myriad names, but the Embodiment of Love and Wisdom one sees not.
O, how is the iron to be transmuted into gold if it does not touch philosopher’s stone ?
Bhagat Beni Ji
Where is Ira, Pingala and Sushhumana’s converge:
there is the Confluence for me of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati,and there my mind bathes.
O Saints, there one sees the Immaculate God,
But rare is the one who Mounts to the level of Guru and knows.
That there Abides our All-pervading and Detached Lord.
