-330I have not taken the Lord's Name as my Support. || 1 || Pause | Says Kabeer, I have searched the skies, and have not seen another, equal to the Lord. || 2 || 34 || GAUREE, KABEER JEE: That head which was once embellished with the finest turban - upon that head, the crow now cleans his beak. ||1|| What pride should we take in this body and wealth? Why not hold tight to the Lord's Name instead? || 1 || Pause || Says Kabeer, listen, O my mind: this may be your fate as well! || 2 || 35 || THIRTY-FIVE STEPS OF GAUREE GWAARAYREE. ||
RAAG GAUREE GWAARAYREE, ASHTAPADEES OF KABEER JEE:
ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: People beg for pleasure, but pain comes instead. I would rather not beg for that pleasure. || 1 || People are involved in corruption, but still, they hope for pleasure. How will they find their home in the Sovereign Lord King? || 1 || Pause || Even Shiva and Brahma are afraid of this pleasure, but I have judged that pleasure to be true. || 2 || Even sages like Sanak and Naarad, and the thousand-headed serpent, did not see the mind within the body. || 3 || Anyone can search for this mind, O Siblings of Destiny. When it escapes from the body, where does the mind go? || 4 || By Guru's Grace, Jai Dayv and Naam Day came to know this, through loving devotional worship of the Lord. || 5 || This mind does not come or go. One whose doubt is dispelled, knows the Truth. 11 6 11 This mind has no form or outline. By God's Command it was created; understanding God's Command, it will be absorbed into Him again. || 7 || Does anyone know the secret of this mind? This mind shall merge into the Lord, the Giver of peace and pleasure. || 8 || There is One Soul, and it pervades all bodies. Kabeer dwells upon this Mind. || 9 || 1 || 36 GAUREE GWAARAYREE: Those who are awake to the One Name, day and night - many of them have become Siddhas - perfect spiritual beings — with their consciousness attuned to the Lord. || 1 || Pause II The seekers, the Siddhas and the silent sages have all lost the game. The One Name is the wish-fulfilling Elysian Tree, which saves them and carries them across. || 1 || Those who are rejuvenated by the Lord, do not belong to any other. Says Kabeer, they realize the Name of the Lord. || 2 || 37 || GAUREE AND ALSO SORAT'H: O shameless being, don't you feel ashamed? You have forsaken the Lord – now where will you go? Unto whom will you turn? || 1 || Pause I One whose Lord and Master is the highest and most exalted - it is not proper for him to go to the house of another. ||1|| That Lord and Master is pervading everywhere. The Lord is always with us; He is never far away. Il 2 || Even Maya takes to the Sanctuary of His Lotus Feet. Tell me, what is there which is not in His home? || 3 || Everyone speaks of Him; He is Allpowerful. He is His Own Master; He is the Giver. || 4 || Says Kabeer, he alone is perfect in this world, in whose heart there is none other than the Lord. || 5 || 38 ||
