Nipathiranjana

Kabir who seeing a woman grinding corn said to his Guru, Nipathiranjana, "I am weeping because I feel the agony of being crushed in this wheel of worldly existence like the corn in the hand-mill."

Nipathiranjana replied, "Do not be afraid; hold fast to the handle of knowledge of this mill, as I do, and do not wander far away from the same but turn inward to the Center, and you are sure to be saved."

Stop Analyzing Start Accepting

Ek Kahun To Hai Nahin, Do Kahun To Gaari
Hai Jaisa Taisa Rahe, Kahe Kabir Bichari

Translation

If I say one, It is not; If I say two, it will be a violation
Let 'It' be whatever 'It' is, so says Kabir contemplating

Meaning

There is a oneness behind the apparent diversity. But oneness is not seen. Yet if I accept duality, it would be a violation, a false acceptance. Let it be, whatever it is - I'll drop the analyzing.

Do Not Save

Kabir So Dhan Sanchiye, Jo Aage Ko Hoye
Sees Charaye Potli, Le Jaat Na Dekhya Koye

Translation

Kabir, save the wealth that remains in this Moment
Departing with a bag of material wealth, no one has yet been seen.

Meaning

Enjoy the present moment. Accumulating wealth for tomorrow is a waste because tomorrow you will die. This is a certainty. No one has been seen that managed to take his material wealth with him.

Only the Person in Pain Knows How Much it Hurts

Aag Jo Lagi Samand Mein, Dhuan Na Pargat Hoye
So Jane Jo Jarmua, Jaki Lagi Hoye

Translation

The Ocean is on Fire, The Smoke is not Visible
He Knows Who Has Been there and been Burnt

Meaning

Experience teaches, the one who has felt the fire knows it - when you know, you know.

How one Realizes Joy of Union

Pehle Agan Birha Ki, Pachhe Prem Ki Pyas
Kahe Kabir Tub Janiye, Naam Milan Ki Aaas

Translation

First the pain of separation, then the thirst for Love
Says Kabir, only then will you know Joy of the Union.

Meaning

First the pain of separation, then love. Only from the pain of separation do we feel the pangs of love. There is then hope of union. This is the story of life - the lovers meeting, separating, the pangs of love and the urge for union and the eventual union. In Sufi tradition it is a reflection of man and God - realization of the separation from God, the pangs of love and urge for union with God, and the eventual joy of union.

Do good work

Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye
Aise Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye

Translation
When you came in to this world , Everyone laughed while you cried
Don't do such work, That they laugh(Become Happy) when you are gone

Meaning

Do good work

All things happen as per Gods wish

Kabira Kiya Kutch Na Hote Hai, Ankiya Sab Hoye
Jo Kiya Kutch Hote Hai, Karta Aur Koye

Translation

On Kabir's saying nothing happens , What I don't do does come to pass
If anything happens as if my doing, It is done by someone else

Meaning

All things happen as per Gods wish, it just seems that we are doing them.

Don't be proud and vain

Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Punyah Letna, Ouper Jamsi Ghaas

Translation

Kabir , Don't be so proud and vain, Looking at your high mansion
Tomorow you'll lie under feet, On top will grow Grass

Meaning

Don't be proud and vain, tomorrow after death you'll be lying six foot under feet, on top will grow grass that goats and sheep will eat!

Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Kaal Gahe Kar Kes
Na Jaane Kit Mare Hai, Kya Des Kya Pardesh

Translation

Kabir , Don't be so proud and vain, The clutches of Time are dark
Who knows where it will kill , Whether at home or abroad

Meaning

Again don't be proud and vain, who knows when or where time will kill.
