Just as without music, there is no dancing,

the bride rejected by her husband is dishonored.

Says Kabeer, do this one thing:

become Gurmukh, and you shall never die again. ||4||6||9||

GOND:

He alone is a pimp, who pounds down his mind.

Pounding down his mind, he escapes from the Messenger of Death.

Pounding and beating his mind, he puts it to the test;

such a pimp attains total liberation. ||1||

Who is called a pimp in this world?

In all speech, one must carefully consider. ||1||Pause||

He alone is a dancer, who dances with his mind.

The Lord is not satisfied with falsehood; He is pleased only with Truth.

So play the beat of the drum in the mind.

The Lord is the Protector of the dancer with such a mind. ||2||

She alone is a street-dancer, who cleanses her body-street,

and educates the five passions.

She who embraces devotional worship for the Lord

- I accept such a street-dancer as my Guru. ||3||

He alone is a thief, who is above envy,

and who uses his sense organs to chant the Lord's Name.

Says Kabeer, these are the qualities of the one

I know as my Blessed Divine Guru, who is the most beautiful and wise. ||4||7||10||

Section 21 - Raag Gond - Part 015

GOND:

Blessed is the Lord of the World. Blessed is the Divine Guru.

Blessed is that grain, by which the heart-lotus of the hungry blossoms forth.

Blessed are those Saints, who know this.

Meeting with them, one meets the Lord, the Sustainer of the World. ||1||

This grain comes from the Primal Lord God.

One chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, only when he tastes this grain. ||1||Pause||

Meditate on the Naam, and meditate on this grain.

Mixed with water, its taste becomes sublime.

One who abstains from this grain,

loses his honor in the three worlds. ||2||

One who discards this grain, is practicing hypocrisy.

She is neither a happy soul-bride, nor a widow.

Those who claim in this world that they live on milk alone,

secretly eat whole loads of food. ||3||

Without this grain, time does not pass in peace.

Forsaking this grain, one does not meet the Lord of the World.

Says Kabeer, this I know:

blessed is that grain, which brings faith in the Lord and Master to the mind. ||4||8||11||

Raag Gond, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House:

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

The ritual sacrifice of horses,

giving one's weight in gold to charities,

and ceremonial cleansing baths -||1||

These are not equal to singing the Praises of the Lord's Name.

Meditate on your Lord, you lazy man! ||1||Pause||

Offering sweet rice at Gaya,

living on the river banks at Benares,

reciting the four Vedas by heart;||2||
