Sakhiya Wah Ghar Sabse Nyara, Jaha Puran Purush Humara
Jaha Nahi Sukh Dukh - Sanch Jhuth Nahi - Pap Na Pun Pasara
Nahin Din Reyn Chand Nahi Suraj, Bina Jyoti Ujyara
Nahin Tahan Gyan Dhyan Nahin Jap Tap Ved Kiteb Na Bani
Karni Dharni Rehni Gehni, Yeh Sub Jahan Hirani
Ghar Nahin Aghar Na Bahar Bhitar, Pind Brahmand Kachu Nahin
Panch Tatva Gun Tin Nahin Tahan, Sakhi Shabd Na Tahin
Mul Na Phul Beli Nahin Bija, Bina Braksh Phal Sohe,
Oham Soham Ardh Urdh Nahin, Swasa Lekhan Kou Hai
Jahan Purush Tahwan Kachu Nahin, Kahe Kabir Hum Jana
Humri Sain Lakhe Jo Koi, Pawe Pad Nirvana
Translation
Oh Companion That Abode Is Unmatched,
Where My Complete Beloved Is.
In that Place There Is No Happiness or Unhappiness,
No Truth or Untruth
Neither Sin Nor Virtue.
There Is No Day or Night, No Moon or Sun,
There Is Radiance Without Light.
There Is No Knowledge or Meditation
No Repetition of Mantra or Austerities,
Neither Speech Coming From Vedas or Books.
Doing, Not-Doing, Holding, Leaving
All These Are All Lost Too In This Place.
No Home, No Homeless, Neither Outside or Inside,
Micro and Macrocosm Are Non-Existent.
Five Elemental Constituents and the Trinity Are Both Not There
Witnessing Un-struck Shabad Sound is Also Not There.
No Root or Flower, Neither Branch or Seed,
Without a Tree Fruits are Adorning,
Primordial Om Sound, Breath-Synchronized Soham,
This and That - All Are Absent, The Breath Too Unknown
Where the Beloved Is There is Utterly Nothing
Says Kabir I Have Come To Realize.
Whoever Sees My Indicative Sign
Will Accomplish the Goal of Liberation.
This is called ulatbansi of Saint Kabir where he talks about two opposite or paradoxical things are merging. Everything merges there and ultimate unity prevails. It is very difficult to understand for people like us who are not having any kind of spiritual experience. Those have deep and long spiritual experience will be able to comprehend it in the best manner. (Courtesy : Osho. For words that follow) The words of the mystics are ulatbansi, an inverted flute-playing. First you have to understand this inverted flute, ulatbansi - it is a very mysterious and loving phrase to use. When someone plays the flute, there is the man who plays and the flute that is being played on. The inverted flute means that now the flute is playing and the one who plays on the flute is himself being played on. The reverse is happening. The one who should be playing is being played, and the flute which should be played on is now the player. The whole process is reversed. Such a moment comes. If you know how to play the flute, you will have no difficulty understanding this. A moment comes when the flute player is so merged in playing that he does not experience anymore that he is playing the flute. The merger is so intense, the player is so submerged in the playing, that he starts feeling as if the flute is making music on its own. The doer disappears. |
