When Realisation Comes – Kabir
October 26th, 2006
My dread of death and birth came to an end
When the Lord in his glorious hue
Revealed himself to me.
His light shone within me
And darkness disappeared.
When I contemplated within I obtained
The rare gem of the Lord’s Name;
In the wake of my bliss
All miseries fled away.
The jewel of my mind became absorbed
In the Lord’s love within;
Whatever now happens, O Lord.
I accept as Thy will.
One who lives in Thy will
Merges in Sahaj.
Says Kabir: My sins have become ineffective,
And my soul is suffused by the One
Who is the life of the entire creation.
Kabir
In this poem Kabir describes the devotee’s state of bliss on attaining God-realisation. His rounds of transmigration finally come to an end, the dark shadows of doubt and delusion melt away and he is free from all miseries. His mind, initially an obstacle on the spiritual path, becomes an ally when it starts relishing the spiritual joy within. Purified, it becomes still; from tinsel it emerges as a jewel. Realising the supreme authority of the Lord, the devotee accepts all that comes in his life as the Lord’s will, and thereby merges into the state of Sahaj.
