- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- I.65. Avadhu Bhule Ko Ghar Lawe
- He is dear to me indeed
- Who can call back the wanderer to his home.
- In the home is the true union, in the home is enjoyment of life:
- Why should I forsake my home and wander in the forest?
- If Brahma helps me to realize truth,
- Verily I will find both bondage and deliverance
- In the home
- He is dear to me indeed
- Who has power to dive deep into God;
- Whose mind loses itself with ease in his contemplation.
- He is dear to me who knows God,
- And can dwell in his supreme truth in meditation;
- And who can play the melody of the infinite
- By uniting love and renunciation in life.
- Kabir says:
- The home is the abiding place;
- In the home is reality;
- The home helps to attain him who is real.
- So stay where you are,
- And all things shall come to you in time.
- I.76. Santo, Sahaj Samadhi Bhali
- O sadhu! The simple union is the best.
- Since the day when I met my Lord,
- There has been no end to the sport of our love.
- I shut not my eyes, I close not my ears,
- I do not mortify my body;
- I see with eyes open and smile,
- And behold his beauty everywhere:
- I utter his name,
- And whatever I see, it reminds me of him;
- Whatever I do, it becomes his worship.
- The rising and setting are one to me;
- All contradictions are solved.
- Wherever I go I move round him.
- All I achieve is his service:
- When I lie down, I lie prostrate at his feet.
- He is the only adorable one to me:
- I have none other.
- My tongue has left off impure words,
- It sings his glory day and night:
- Whether I rise or sit down, I can never forget him;
- For the rhythm of his music beats in my ears.
- Kabir says:
- My heart is frenzied,
- And I disclose in my soul what is hidden.
- I am immersed in that one great bliss
- Which transcends all pleasure and pain.
