You seize a living creature, and then bring it home and kill its body; you have killed only the clay.

The light of the soul passes into another form. So tell me, what have you killed? ||2||

And what good are your purifications? Why do you bother to wash your face? And why do you bother to bow your head in the mosque?

Your heart is full of hypocrisy; what good are your prayers or your pilgrimage to Mecca? ||3||

You are impure; you do not understand the Pure Lord. You do not know His Mystery.

Says Kabeer, you have missed out on paradise; your mind is set on hell. ||4||4||

PRABHAATEE:

Hear my prayer, Lord; You are the Divine Light of the Divine, the Primal, All-pervading Master.

The Siddhas in Samaadhi have not found Your limits. They hold tight to the Protection of Your Sanctuary. ||1||

Worship and adoration of the Pure, Primal Lord comes by worshipping the True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny.

Standing at His Door, Brahma studies the Vedas, but he cannot see the Unseen Lord. ||1||Pause||

With the oil of knowledge about the essence of reality, and the wick of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, this lamp illluminates my body.

I have applied the Light of the Lord of the Universe, and lit this lamp. God the Knower knows. ||2||

The Unstruck Melody of the Panch Shabad, the Five Primal Sounds, vibrates and resounds. I dwell with the Lord of the World.

Kabeer, Your slave, performs this Aartee, this lamp-lit worship service for You, O Formless Lord of Nirvaanaa. ||3||5||

Prabhaatee, The Word Of Devotee Naam Dayv Jee:

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

The mind alone knows the state of the mind; I tell it to the Knowing Lord.

I chant the Name of the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts - why should I be afraid? ||1||

My mind is pierced through by the love of the Lord of the World.

My God is All-pervading everywhere. ||1||Pause||

The mind is the shop, the mind is the town, and the mind is the shopkeeper.

The mind abides in various forms, wandering all across the world. ||2||

This mind is imbued with the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and duality is easily overcome.

Section 34 - Raag Prabhaatee - Part 025

He Himself is the Commander; all are under His Command. The Fearless Lord looks on all alike. ||3||

That humble being who knows, and meditates on the Supreme Primal Being - his word becomes eternal.

Says Naam Dayv, I have found the Invisible, Wondrous Lord, the Life of the World, within my heart. ||4||1||

PRABHAATEE:

He existed in the beginning, in the primeval age, and all throughout the ages; His limits cannot be known.

The Lord is pervading and permeating amongst all; this is how His Form can be described. ||1||

The Lord of the Universe appears when the Word of His Shabad is chanted.
