Re Kabira....

--o Re Kabira 0029 o--  दीपक पावक आँनिया,तेल भि आना संग। तीन्यँ मिलि करि जोइया, उड़ि उड़ि पड़ैं पतंग।। --o संत कबीर दास  o-- Translation: Ingredients of light are lamp, oil and fire. Once there is light, insect automatically gets attracted and intensity of fire kills them.   --o Sant Kabir Das o-- My Interpretation: Similarly, true knowledge can be achieved once you have guru (lamp), respect for guru (oil) and devotion to gain knowledge (fire). All thought leading to misdeed vanishes with the power & intensity of knowledge.      --o Re Kabira 0029 o--

--o Re Kabira 0027 o--   चिड़ी चोंच भर लै गई, नदी घटया ना नीर।  दान दिये धन ना घटै, कह गए दास कबीर।।   Translation: Even if a bird takes mouthful of water, water in the river doesn't diminish. Kabir says your wealth will not diminish by your charity.   My Interpretation: One doesn't become rich by accumulating, but becomes richer by giving.     --o संत कबीर दास  o-- --o Sant Kabir Das o-- --o Re Kabira 0027 o--

--o Re Kabira 0025 o-- रुखा सूखा खायके, ठण्डा पाणी पीब । देखि परायी चोपड़ी, मत ललचावै जीब ।। rukha sukha khayke, thanda paani peeb dekh paraye chopdi, mat lalchay jeeb Translation: What ever limited you have, consume and be satisfied. You should not crave for what others have. My Interpretation: Be happy with what you have... --o Sant Kabir Das o-- --o Re Kabira 0025 o--

-- o ReKabira 001 o --  साधू भूखा भाव का, धन का भूखा नाही | धन का भूखा जो फिरे, सो तो साधू नाही || Sādhū bhūkhā bhāva kā, dhana kā bhūkhā nāhī | dhana kā bhūkhā jō phirē, sō tō sādhū nāhī || Sant Kabir Das Translation: Sage has hunger for devotion, not wealth. If one has hunger for wealth, then he / she can't be a sage. My Interpretation: A noble and wise person has drive for excellence and pursues passion for greater cause. And not personal or vested interest. One with personal or vested interest could only be a good business person not a wise one. Pursue excellence, be driven by passion and have an impact greater cause. -- o ReKabira 001 o --
