Kabir Ke Dohe - 2


A person in a grip of passion won’t feel shame. He who is very sleepy doesn’t care for the bed and one who is very hungry is least bothered about his taste preference.



A person who thinks that he has gained knowledge has lost his roots. Now he thinks that he is as omnipotent as God. A person engaged in a household life is better as he at least fears God.



A person who renounces world puts himself to trouble day and night as he is worried about his meals. He also thinks that he is the lord and calls himself Swami. Thus he loses on both the counts.



There is a cheap crop of divine people. Fifty of them are available for one penny. They are least concerned about the name of Ram and have many expectations from their followers.



In this Kali Age he who calls himself Swami has become greedy. He looks like a brass utensil with sour items. He seeks protection of the ruler just like a cow that rushes on seeing a green pasture.



The Swami of Kali Age expects many greetings. He lends money and is busy with the book keeping.



A Brahmin may be a guru of the world but he is not a Guru of a good man. The Brahmin is always involved with the interpretation of Vedas and he dies doing that.



A parrot repeats whatever knowledge is taught but he doesn’t know how to set himself free from his cage. People have gained much knowledge today but they fail to set themselves free.



People go to many places as pilgrims. They take bath at such places. They are always chanting name of God but still they are being dragged to death by time.



Kabir is fed up with telling people that they should shun foolish means of worshiping. People think that they will cross the ocean of transmigration by holding to a sheep’s tail.
