Kabir says that God is always awake. No one else is awake always. At night a person indulging in sensual pleasures is awake or a devotee is awake.
Those towns that are nicely planned and where lots of festivities are taking place are desolate in the eyes of Kabir if they are not inhabited by the devotees of Ram.
Houses where a holy man is not respected and God is not worshipped are like a crematorium inhabited by ghosts.
A queen is inferior to a lady that works as a housemaid at the residence of a holy person. Why? A queen decorates herself for her husband and the housemaid due to pious association remembers Ram.
Kabir says that extremes are painful. Too hot and too cold are not good.
A miserable man is suffering from miseries. A joyful man craves for joy. The followers of Ram are ever blissful as they rise above misery and joy.
Kabir doesn’t see any difference between Kaba and Kashi. He doesn’t see any difference between Ram and Rahim. He is not bothered about the gross differences but he has satiated himself by understanding subtle similarities.
Why are you weeping? Can’t you see God? You should focus your entire mind on him and go to sleep.
What for you are worried? What will you gain by worrying? God will remove all your worries and he will do more than what you care.
Recognition, greatness, love, affinity, grandeur, virtue, liking, all this is gone for the one who asks for a favor.
