Kabeer ji couplets about "satnaamS
April 02 2015
(Seva By Dr Swaraj Kaur Ji)
Kabeer sab jag nirdhana, dhanvanta nahi koi
Dhanvanta soi janeeye satnaam dhan hoi
Saint kabeer says that all of this world is poor and no one is rich.
Know that the only one is rich who has the wealth of satnaam
Satnaam nij aushadhi Satguru daee bataye
Aushdh khae ar puth rahe taaki bedan jaaye
Satguru told that Satnaam is the one's medicine.
All the sorrows will go away whoever takes this medicine and stay on this path
Kabeer satguru naam se kot bighan tar jaye
Raee samaan basundhara, keta kath jaraye
Saint Kabeer says that by meditating on the name given by a Satguru
one can pass millions of troubles.
It is just like a little piece of fire that can burn all the wood
Surat samavey naam mey, jag sey rahey udaas
Keh kabeer guru charan mein dridha rakhey biswas
Put all the heart into meditating naam while staying indifferent to the world.
Kabeer says to have strong faith/determination in the feet of the guru
Lene ko satnaam hai, dene ko ann daan
Taraney ko aadheenata, boodan ko abhimaan
Satnaam is the thing to take, donating food is the thing to give.
humility swims across, pride drowns,
Loot sakey to loot ley, satnaam ke loot
Phir pachey pachtahugey praan jahi jab chhoot
If you can steal then steal satnaam (whilst we have human body).
(if you don't then) later you will regret it, when one leaves the physical body
Satgur ka updesh, satnaam nij saar hai
Yeh nij mukti sandesh suno sant sat bhav sey
Satguru preaches us that satnaam is one's own treasure.
This is the gist of his message that everyone should listen to with pure heart
Satnaam biswas karam bharam sab parharey
Satguru purvey aas jo niras aasa karey
Having faith in Satnaam takes care of all actions and confusions.
Satguru fulfills the expectations of those who have become hopeless
Chinta to satnaam ki aur na chitvey daas
Jo kuch chitvey naam bin soyee kaal ke faans
Kabeer says that he, the slave, only worries about satnaam and nothing else.
Whatever he thinks other than naam is only walking towards gallows given by kaal
Satnaam ko sumirate, udharey patit anek
Keh kabeer neh chhadiye satnaam ki tek
By meditation on sataam many low life got salvation.
Kabeer says not to leave the full faith in satnaam
kyaa kathey bud bud marey koyee na karey upaye
Satguru hum sey youn kahiyo simiran karo samaye
Why do useless talks until your death?
Make no plans for your own benefit.
Satguru told me to meditate by merging the heart into it.
Jeevana thora hi bhala jo sat simiran hoye
Laakh baras ka jeevana lekhe parey na koyey
It is better to live a shorter life while meditating on Truth.
It is useless to have a million years of life
because it does not come to our rescue
Bina saach sumiran nahi, bin bhedi bhagati na hoye
Paaras mein parda raha kas loha kanchan hoye
One cannot do meditation without truth inside out and without the help of someone who knows this secret it is not possible to do truthful/meaningful meditation (bhagti). It is just like if philosophers stone has a problem, it cannot turn iron into gold
Kanchan kewal guru bhajan, dooja kaanch kabeer
Jhoota jaal janjaal taj pakrey saanch kabeer
Kabeer says that only gold is the meditation given by guru, rest is all glass. Leave all the falsehood while hold on to the truth
Dekha dekhi sab kahey bhor bhaeye hari naam
Aradh raat koi jan kahey khanajad ghulam
Everybody copies each other and says that it is good to meditate on god's name in the morning. Kabeer is slave to that person who gets up at midnight and meditate on lords name
Kabeer dhara agam ki, Satguru dayee lakhai
Ulat taahi sumiran karo swami sang milai
The beautiful river of agam is only shown by Satguru. Once one starts to meditate by going upwards i.e. the opposite direction, the unity with almighty happens
Jaap marai ajapa marai anhad hoon mar jaaye
Surat samani shabad mein ta ko kal na khaaye
Jaap dies, ajapa dies and anahad also dies. The only survivor is surat that is merged into the shabad. Once that state is accomplished, kaal is not able to annahilate it.
Lekha dena sahaj hai jo dil sacha hoyey
Saanyee ke darbar mein palla pakrey na koi
It is easy to give accounts for one's actions if the heart is pure and truthful. In the court of lord there is no one who comes to rescue
Saach suney aur sat karey satnaam ki aas
Satnaam ko jaan kar jag mein rahey udaas
One should hear truth and do truthful actions with full faith in satnaam. After the enlightement with satnaam live in the world with complete detatchment
Kabeer lajja loak ke boley naahi saach
Jaan boojh kanchan tajey kyon tu pakarey kaanch
Kabeer says that we don't speak the truth due to our false reputation in the world. Knowingly we discard the gold while we hold on to the glass
Jo koi nindey saadh ko sankat aavai soi
Narak maahi janamai marai mukat na kabhoon hoi
Whoever slandars the saints, they invite trouble for themselves. They born and die in hells and are never able to find salvation
Kabeer padana door kar pustak dey bahai
Baavan achchar sodh key satnaam lau lai
Kabeer says that don't read and throw away the books. Get to know the fifty two letters only and connect to satnaam
Sabhai hamarey ek hain jo sumirey satnaam
Bast lai pahchaan key baatan sey kya kaam
We are all one who are meditating on satnaam. We recognized the main thing and not worried about unnecessary talks.
