Kabeer, be in love with only that one, whose Master is the Lord.

The Pandits, the religious scholars, kings and landlords - what good is love for them? ||24||

Kabeer, when you are in love with the One Lord, duality and alienation depart.

You may have long hair, or you may shave your head bald. ||25||

Kabeer, the world is a room filled with black soot; the blind fall into its trap.

I am a sacrifice to those who are thrown in, and still escape. ||26||

Kabeer, this body shall perish; save it, if you can.

Even those who have tens of thousands and millions, must depart bare-footed in the end. ||27||

Kabeer, this body shall perish; place it on the path.

Either join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, or sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||28||

Kabeer, dying, dying, the whole world has to die, and yet, none know how to die.

Section 40 - Shaloks Of Devotee Kabeer Jee - Part 003

Let those who die, die such a death, that they shall never have to die again. ||29||

Kabeer, it is so difficult to obtain this human body; it does not just come over and over again.

It is like the ripe fruit on the tree; when it falls to the ground, it cannot be re-attached to the branch. ||30||

Kabeer, you are Kabeer; your name means great.

O Lord, You are Kabeer. The Jewel of the Lord is obtained, when the mortal first gives up his body. ||31||

Kabeer, do not struggle in stubborn pride; nothing happens just because you say so.

No one can erase the actions of the Merciful Lord. ||32||

Kabeer, no one who is false can withstand the Touchstone of the Lord.

He alone can pass the test of the Lord's Touchstone, who remains dead while yet alive. ||33||

Kabeer, some wear gaudy robes, and chew betel leaves and betel nuts.

Without the Name of the One Lord, they are bound and gagged and taken to the City of Death. ||34||

Kabeer, the boat is old, and it has thousands of holes.

Those who are light get across, while those who carry the weight of their sins on their heads are drowned. ||35||

Kabeer, the bones burn like wood, and the hair burns like straw.

Seeing the world burning like this, Kabeer has become sad. ||36||

Kabeer, do not be so proud of your bones wrapped up in skin.

Those who were on their horses and under their canopies, were eventually buried under the ground. ||37||

Kabeer, do not be so proud of your tall mansions.

Today or tomorrow, you shall lie beneath the ground, and the grass shall grow above you. ||38||

Kabeer, do not be so proud, and do not laugh at the poor.

Your boat is still out at sea; who knows what will happen? ||39||

Kabeer, do not be so proud, looking at your beautiful body.

Today or tomorrow, you will have to leave it behind, like the snake shedding its skin. ||40||
