Aasa Jive Jag Marey, Log Marey Mar Jayee
Soyee Sube Dhan Sanchate, So Ubrey Jey Khayee
Translation
Hope lives in a dying world, people die and die again
Perish yet hoarding wealth, spend and freedom attain
My Understanding
Having explained in the previous Doha that we should save the wealth that will be helpful now and beyond, Kabir now makes us take a step forward towards the principle of non-attachment through this Doha.
In this eternally changing and perishable world, Kabir explains that only those who distribute and share the wealth are the ones who attain liberation. Who are they that share? Those who have abundance. And, abundance comes to those who understand the doctrine of Karma and are non-attached to the results.

i read a translation of kabir by Pritish Nandy 20 years ago. It contained some unique poems which are not usually included in the academic curriculum. They expressed his rebellious soul. He was critical towards the teachings of established religions. He was against Idolatry and pilgrimage of any kind. His karma was not the karma preached by krishna in mahabharatha. It is a pity that through centuries his vision has been distorted and he has become a brand ambassador of national integration. |

First of all,Rajendraji I'm eternally grateful for you to devote alot of your time,efforts, valuable insights to compile and produce this priceless piece of integration. I do agree with your overall interpretation and I'm sure doctrine of karma have useful tips of abundance,however,I don't believe that's the only pool of resource.Abundance can be claim via many ways.Eg from other holy books,common sense,from the good virtues of elders,inheritance. And,who's greater between the one who gives out from abundance or the one who hasn't got much but still have a heart of gold to share and give? To me,Kabir's life,philosophy,assertiveness and honesty is beyond this. Thank you for initiating this open platform and useful page. |
