One Hundred Poems of Kabir/XXVII
XXVII
II. 81. satgur soi daya kar dinha
satgur soi daya kar dinha, taante un-chinhaar main cheenhaa
bin nainan ka dekhan-pekhan, bin sarvan kaa sunanaa
chand na soor diwas nahin rajanee, tahaan surat lou bhaai
binaa ann amrit-ras-bhojan, bin jal trishaa bhujhaai
jahaan haras tahn pooran sukh hai, vah sukh kaaso kahnaa
kahyen Kabir bal bal satguru kee, dhann shishya kaa lahnaa
It is the mercy of my true Guru that has made me to know the unknown;
I have learned from Him how to walk without feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink without mouth, to fly without wings;
I have brought my love and my meditation into the land where there is no sun and moon, nor day and night.
Without eating, I have tasted of the sweetness of nectar; and without water, I have quenched my thirst.
Where there is the response of delight, there is the fullness of joy. Before whom can that joy be uttered?
Kabir says: "The Guru is great beyond words, and great is the good fortune of the disciple"
