Kabir's Shabad 22 Upadesh (Spiritual Teaching)translation

Rating: 5.0


Is there any body who will guide my lost mind?
This mind is whimsical and hard to concentrate.

It collects all the worldly valuables and buries it
Deep, away from everyone's eyes, only to reveal
When lord of death catches him by the throat.

It protects all the fake treasure but forgets to guard
The most valuable- the spiritual treasure.

He plants a tree full of thorns but expects to harvest dates.
How can this be possible?

Listen to me you good people!
Reverence to teacher, company of saints and devotional attitude
Is the only way to stay afloat in this world full of discord and strife.


Note:

Translation- Kabir Shabadavali Part 2- ‘Teaching'‘उपदेश'

Shabad 22 (Spiritual teachings 22)

‘है कोइ भूला मन समुझावै'.
