- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- 1.68 Bhai Kai Satguru Sant Kahawai
- He is the real master, who can reveal the form
- Of the formless to the vision of these eyes:
- Who teaches the simple way of attaining him,
- That is other than rites or ceremonies:
- Who does not make you close the doors, and hold the breath,
- And renounce the world:
- Who makes you perceive the supreme spirit
- Wherever the mind attaches itself:
- Who teaches you to be still in the midst of all your activities.
- Ever immersed in bliss, having no fear in his mind,
- He keeps the fear of union in the midst of all enjoyments.
- The infinite dwelling of the infinite being is everywhere:
- In earth, water, sky, and air:
- Firm as the thunderbolt, the seat of the seeker
- Is established above the void.
- He who is within is without: I see him and none else.
- 1.22. Jab ain Bhula Re Bhai
- O brother: When I was forgetful,
- My true guru showed me the way.
- Then I left all rites and ceremonies,
- I bathed no more in the holy water:
- Then I learned that it I alone who was mad,
- And the whole world beside me was sane;
- And I had disturbed these wise people.
- From that time forth I knew no more how to roll
- In the dust in obeisance:
- I do not ring the temple bell:
- I do not set the idol on its throne:
- I do not worship the image with flowers.
- It is not the austerities that mortify the flesh
- Which are pleased to the lord.
- When you leave off your clothes and kill your senses,
- You do not please the lord:
- The man who is kind and who practises righteousness,
- Who remains passive amidst the affairs of the world,
- Who considers all creatures on earth as his own self,
- He attains the immortal being, the true god is ever with him.
- Kabir says: 'He attains the true name whose words are pure,
- And who is free from pride and conceit.'
