Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Bhuin Letna, Ooper Jamsi Ghaas
Translation
Says Kabir
Don't be so proud and vain
Looking at your high mansion
Death makes one lie on bare land
And grass will grow thereon
My Understanding
Pride, arrogance and vanity are all related to our ego, our perishable belongings and things which are not eternal. In this Doha, Kabir gives a clear warning by explaining the eternal ultimate Truth i.e. Death.
We all know that we have to die, but are we willing to accept this fact? Deep behind our psyche is the idea that everything else is going to perish, to die, but "I" will go on eternally. Hence, we cling to our perishables and become possessive and selfish. This causes us to become arrogant, greedy, proud and vain.
Kabir emphasizes the need to understand the cycle of Life and guides us to shed our pride.
In my view, if we give practically shape to our good thoughts and what we hear good, then only we can succeed in good direction. |
kabir ke dohas are awesome , I like reading them |
Really, I say, it makes a sense. We should try to understand what it really means. 'Don't be proud'. It is true. If you are rich and wealthy, it doesn't make a sense at all that you are friendly to the society. |
Sant Kabir ji's great preaching always blossom in our hearts and show us the correct path in life. Though he incarnates God when he descended onto this planet but his lifestyle was always a simple and full of inspirations. He like other incarnations emphasized on knowing the real truth and understanding the almighty'Nirankar". Beacuse this is the only way to help ourselves transcend the ocean of materialism and redeem our self. God bless all with prosperity, health and fame. |
