Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Shaloks Of Devotee Kabeer Jee

Kabeer, worship the Lord Allah; meditating in remembrance on Him, troubles and pains depart.

The Lord shall be revealed within your own heart, and the burning fire within shall be extinguished by His Name. ||186||

Kabeer, to use force is tyranny, even if you call it legal.

When your account is called for in the Court of the Lord, what will your condition be then? ||187||

Kabeer, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent, if it is flavored with salt.

Who would cut his throat, to have meat with his bread? ||188||

Kabeer, one is known to have been touched by the Guru, only when his emotional attachment and physical illnesses are eradicated.

He is not burned by pleasure or pain, and so he becomes the Lord Himself. ||189||

Kabeer, it does make a difference, how you chant the Lord's Name, 'Raam'. This is something to consider.

Everyone uses the same word for the son of Dasrath and the Wondrous Lord. ||190||

Kabeer, use the word 'Raam', only to speak of the All-pervading Lord. You must make that distinction.

One 'Raam' is pervading everywhere, while the other is contained only in himself. ||191||

Kabeer, those houses in which neither the Holy nor the Lord are served

- those houses are like cremation grounds; demons dwell within them. ||192||

Kabeer, I have become mute, insane and deaf.

I am crippled - the True Guru has pierced me with His Arrow. ||193||

Kabeer, the True Guru, the Spiritual Warrior, has shot me with His Arrow.

As soon as it struck me, I fell to the ground, with a hole in my heart. ||194||

Kabeer, the pure drop of water falls from the sky, onto the dirty ground.

You must acknowledge this, that without the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, it turns into burnt ashes. ||195||

Kabeer, the pure drop of water falls from the sky, and mixes with the dust.

Millions of clever people may try, but they will fail - it cannot be made separate again. ||196||

Kabeer, I was going on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and God met me on the way.

He scolded me and asked, "Who told you that I am only there?"||197||

Kabeer, I went to Mecca - how many times, Kabeer?

O Lord, what is the problem with me? You have not spoken to me with Your Mouth. ||198||

Kabeer, they oppress living beings and kill them, and call it proper.

When the Lord calls for their account, what will their condition be? ||199||

Kabeer, it is tyranny to use force; the Lord shall call you to account.

When your account is called for, your face and mouth shall be beaten. ||200||

Kabeer, it is easy to render your account, if your heart is pure.

In the True Court of the Lord, no one will seize you. ||201||

Kabeer: O duality, you are mighty and powerful in the earth and the sky.
