melody of the Infinite by uniting love and renunciation in life.
Kabir says: "The home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time."

I. 76. santo, sahaj samadhi bhali
santo, sahaj samadhi bhali
saayeen te milan bhayo jaa dinten surat n ant chalee
aankh n moondoon, kaan n roondhoon, kaayaa kasht n dhaaroon
khule nain main hans hans dekhoon, sunder roop nihaaroon
kahun so naam soonoon so sumiran, jo kuchh karun so poojaa
girah-udyaan eksam dekhoon, bhaav mitaaoon dooja
jahn jahn jaaoon soi parikarmaa, jo kuchh karoon so sewaa
jab souun tab karoon dandvat, poojoon aur n devaa
shabd nirantar manooaa raataa, malin bachan kaa tyaagee
oothat-baithat kabhun n bisarye, aisee taari laagi
kahyen kabir yah unmani rahani, so pargat kar gaayee
sukh-dukh ke ik pare param sukh, tehi mein rahaa samaayee
O sadhu! the simple union is the best.
Since the day when I met with my Lord, there has been no end to the sport of our love.
I shut not my eyes, I close not my ears, I do not mortify my body;
I see with eyes open and smile, and behold His beauty everywhere:
I utter His Name, and whatever I see, it reminds me of Him; whatever I do, it becomes His worship.
The rising and the setting are one to me; all contradictions are solved.
Wherever I go, I move round Him,
All I achieve is His service:
When I lie down, I lie prostrate at His feet.
He is the only adorable one to me: I have none other.
My tongue has left off impure words, it sings His glory day and night:
Whether I rise or sit down, I can never forget Him; for the rhythm of His music beats in my ears.
Kabir says: "My heart is frenzied, and I disclose in my soul what is hidden. I am immersed in that one great bliss which transcends all pleasure and pain."

I. 79. tirath men to sab pani hai
tirath men to sab pani hai, hove nahin kachhu anhaay dekhaa
pratima sakal to jad hai bhaai, bolen nahin bolaay dekha
puraan koraan sabye baat hai, ya ghat kaa pardaa khol dekha
anubhav kee baat kabir kahyen yah, sab hai jhoothi pol dekha
