Poem 41
संतो सहज समाधि भली साईं ते मिलन भयो जा दिन ते सुरत न अंत चली आँख न मूँदूँ, कान न रूँधूँ, काया कष्ट न धारूँ खुले नैन में हँस-हँस देखूँ, सुंदर रूप निहारूँ कहूँ सो नाम सुनूँ सो सुमिरन, जो कछु करूँ सो पूजा गिरह उद्यान एक सम देखूँ, भाव मिटाऊँ दूजा जहँ-जहँ जाऊँ सोई परिकरमा, जो कछु करूँ सो सेवा जब सोऊँ तब करूँ दंडवत, पूजूँ और न देवा शब्द निरंतर मनुआ राता, मलिन बचन का त्यागी उठत-बैठत कबहुँ न बिसरै, ऐसी तारी लागी कहै कबीर यह उनमुनि रहनी, सो परगट कर गाई सुख-दुख के इक परे परम सुख, तेहि में रहा समाई
O sadhu! the simple union is the best. Since the day when I met with 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 the 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.”
