Dukh Mein Simran Sab Kare, Sukh Mein Kare Na Koye
Jo Sukh Mein Simran Kare, Tau Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye
Translation
 In anguish everyone prays to Him,
in joy does none
To One who prays in happiness,
how can sorrow come
My Understanding
Let someone suddenly wave his hand in front of your eyes and you will see that the eyes blink. And if you are caught unawares, you may just say 'O my God'!
Such is the nature of mankind. When we are in distress, in a state of helplessness, we invariably then look up in the skies and communicate with Him in our own silent prayer. However, when things are going good, we forget Him. Kabir in this doha highlights this and gives a promise when he says that we shall not suffer if we pray to Him during our good times.

Krishan Jee,
You have done a great service to those who admire Kabir, his poetry and no less the message within. The simplicity of the message and straight appeal of the language is simply matchless. Considering the age he wrote, and the courage he had to swim agains the current of times make him one of the rarest gems of poets with a message.
I must salute to your labour for love of Kabir. Can you do same in relation to Meera, Surdaas and other Bhaghats. Mind you i am not a religious person, and hardly go to worship place because i do not worship, i admire and appreciate and relish the beauty of poetry of life of life of poetry.
Keep up the noble work!

Dear Rajender ji,
I appreciate your dedication and hard work that you have put into this research.
Some of Kabir's works are really good.
However, I consider myself as one of the critics of Kabirdas. One of the dohas that I am critical is the above one.
Saying "Oh God" while in distress and praying to God in distress is infact glorifying the God as He has powers and control over everything.
I dont agree that if "sumiran" is done in "sukh", then "dukh" will not occur. Sukh and dukh are inevitable part of life intentionally given by the God. Arent there many people in all the religions of the world who spend their whole time just worshipping the God, yet they also do face hardships.
No offences Sir. But this is my personal opinion. I beleive that sumiran in sukh times gives mental peace and courage to be steadfast during dukh times as well.
I close this comment by once again lauding your special efforts you have put into this blog.!
Jai Hind!

Dear Shree Rajender Kishen Jee,
I love your work in Boloji.com.
3 Kabir Dohe's I have made as my roadmap on my spiritual path. I chant them
in succession a few times and then I pay total attention to the 'I AM' inside me which also is RAM of Kabir.
1. Chalati Chakki...
2. Dukha Mein.....
3. Kaala Karai so Aaj Kar....
1. Dui Pathan are CRAVING and AVERSION. ( I want this, I do not want that)
2. Jo sukha mein SUMIRAN kare is The one who meditates on SELF at all
times, or The one who has totally surrendered to RAM(ATMAN) and who says
THY WILL. (If one does this , it is known that one goes beyond Sukha and Dukha)
3. Kabir wants every one to do what is recommended in 2 above. And do it now.
Kabir was a SADGURU and his teaching was also directed to guide people to
RAM , or SELF in its deeper sense.
