I am forever a sacrifice to those humble beings who take the Name of their Lord and Master. ||1||
Those who sing the Glorious Praises of the Pure Lord are pure.
They are my Siblings of Destiny, so dear to my heart. ||1||Pause||
I am the dust of the lotus feet of those whose hearts are filled with the All-pervading Lord. ||2||
I am a weaver by birth, and patient of mind.
Slowly, steadily, Kabeer chants the Glories of God. ||3||26||
Gauree, Kabeer Jee:
From the Sky of the Tenth Gate, the nectar trickles down, distilled from my furnace.
I have gathered in this most sublime essence, making my body into firewood. ||1||
He alone is called intoxicated with intuitive peace and poise,
who drinks in the juice of the Lord's essence, contemplating spiritual wisdom. ||1||Pause||
Intuitive poise is the bar-maid who comes to serve it.
I pass my nights and days in ecstasy. ||2||
Through conscious meditation, I linked my consciousness with the Immaculate Lord.
Says Kabeer, then I obtained the Fearless Lord. ||3||27||
Gauree, Kabeer Jee:
The natural tendency of the mind is to chase the mind.
Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 179
Who has established himself as a Siddha, a being of miraculous spiritual powers, by killing his mind? ||1||
Who is that silent sage, who has killed his mind?
By killing the mind, tell me, who is saved? ||1||Pause||
Everyone speaks through the mind.
Without killing the mind, devotional worship is not performed. ||2||
Says Kabeer, one who knows the secret of this mystery,
beholds within his own mind the Lord of the three worlds. ||3||28||
Gauree, Kabeer Jee:
The stars which are seen in the sky
- who is the painter who painted them? ||1||
Tell me, O Pandit, what is the sky attached to?
Very fortunate is the knower who knows this. ||1||Pause||
The sun and the moon give their light;
God's creative extension extends everywhere. ||2||
Says Kabeer, he alone knows this,
whose heart is filled with the Lord, and whose mouth is also filled with the Lord. ||3||29||
Gauree, Kabeer Jee:
The Simritee is the daughter of the Vedas, O Siblings of Destiny.
She has brought a chain and a rope. ||1||
She has imprisoned the people in her own city.
She has tightened the noose of emotional attachment and shot the arrow of death. ||1||Pause||
By cutting, she cannot be cut, and she cannot be broken.
She has become a serpent, and she is eating the world. ||2||
Before my very eyes, she has plundered the entire world.
Says Kabeer, chanting the Lord's Name, I have escaped her. ||3||30||
Gauree, Kabeer Jee:
I have grasped the reins and attached the bridle;
abandoning everything, I now ride through the skies. ||1||
