prabhat-sandhya sakhi
(morning-evening sakhi - prayer)
bando guru tau charan ko, mangu nirmal buddhi;
kal jal ka bhai bahu, lije mori shuddhi;
kal phasayo jal me, hari gyan aru dhyan;
tau kripa binu satguru, kaise pawu gyan;
Dear Guruji, I bow at your lotus feet and ask for pure discriminative spiritual knowledge. In this world there is great fear of death. Please give me purity of intellect so that I may overcome this fear. Time and circumstances have entangled me in worldly affairs, and cheated me from knowledge of God and meditation. Without your grace how can I gain this knowledge?
adi purush avichal tuhi, chala chali sansar;
ajar nam prabhu tumahi ho, adhi byadhi gun jar;
tum bin kaise hoi ho, chinta rahit achint;
amar padarath dijiye, amar nam nischint;
O Master! You are from the very beginning and are changeless, but this world is ever changing. Lord, you alone are not subject to aging; you are eternal. I am subject to mental and physical sufferings. Without you, how can I remain free of cares? Please give me your eternal blessings so that I may remain eternally free of cares.
kal ka nagar vinash hai, kshan me jai nasai
guru purush kripa karai, sar padarath pai;
jate bhow bandhan kate, dijo gyan munindra;
satya sukrit krip karo, kato karm ke band;
This world is a city bound by time, and will vanish in no time. If you grant me your mercy, then I will certainly attain imperishable Reality. O Enlightened One! Give me such knowledge that I may overcome the bondage of re-incarnation. Oh Lord of Truth and Nobility! Grant me your mercy, and cast away the bindings of my karmas.
karunamai karuna kari, dijai satya sukam;
bandat how tau charan prabhu, asha guru satnam;
tum data ham mangata, satya kabir dayal;
parakh deya badha haro, meto yam ko jal;
O Compassionate One! Have compassion for me. Grant me Truth and noble actions. O Lord, I bow at your lotus feet and place my hope in your eternal name. You are the giver and I am the beggar. O merciful Sat Kabir! Give me spiritual knowledge and remove all my sufferings. Remove the noose of Yama, the God of death.
kisi kam ka hu nahi, rahit gyan aru dhyan;
satya kabir so kripa kari, dije parakh dhyan;
ko hamko jagat yaha, ranchak jano bheo;
satya kabir dukh pari haru, pawo atam seo;
I am of no value, and am devoid of knowledge and meditation. O Sat Kabir! Shower your grace on me and give me discriminative intelligence and meditation. Who am I? What is this world? I do not know the secret. O Sat Kabir! Remove this mental anguish so that I may realize my true soul.
madhyan gayatri (mid day gayatri)
achint purush hirambar chhaya, nad bindu doi karta aya;
yama so jita lok pathaya, surati snehi hans kahaya;
achint purush ko gayatri, dinh kabir batai;
nis din sumiran jo karai, karam bharam mit jai.
The Incomprehensible God is present every where, and Nad Bind (Sound meditation) is the way to realize Him.
The soul overcomes Yama and becoming liberated, goes to Satlok.
Kabir has explained this gayatri, and whoever recites it always, will be free of karmas and doubts
O devotee! Offer salutation and service at the feet of the guru, as this is the root and flower of devotion everywhere.
Kabir instructed Dharam Dass that doing so would remove all your difficult problems and give you peace.
O Satguru, you have taught that for our eternal joy and welfare, and for the removal of all obstacles, there is no greater boon than satnam - the eternal name of God. You have also taught that worship of the guru will destroy countless obstacles. Thus the saints always meditate on the guru prior to all activities.
dhyan mulam guror murti, puja mulam guro padam;
mantra mulam guror vakyam, moksh mulam guro kripa.
The root of meditation is the guru, and the root of worship is his feet;
The root of all mantras is the guru’s teaching, and the root of liberation is his grace.
O Lord and Satguru, the remover of bondage, please give me divine knowledge.
dhun (chants)
1. puran brahm daya nidhi saheb, satya sukrit satyanam japo
The perfect Brahm (God) is the ocean of mercy; recite His true and noble name - Satnam
2. satyanam satyanam satyanam bol, ramnam ramnam ramnam bol
Recite satyanam, satyanam, satyanam, and recite Ramnam, Ramnam, Ramnam.
3. satyanam satyanam soham guru ram--
Recite satyanam the true name of God residing within as the soul.
soham hansa satguru sharanam, sat sat soham kalimal haranam
The liberated soul finds refuge in Satguru, and realizing the Self, becomes sinless.
satnam kirtan (recite Satnam - the Eternal Name)
satya nam satya nam satya nam kahiye,
jahi vidhi rakhe saheb tahi vidhi rahiye--ch.
Recite satyanam, satyanam, satyanam, and be happy in living as God ordains.
mukh me ho satyanam, sant sewa hath me,
nahi akela tu hai pyare, saheb tere sath me;
vidhi ka vidhan jan, hani labh sahiye --
Let satyanam be on your lips and service to the saints in your hands. Realize that you are not alone, but God is with you. Know that it is God’s law operating, and accept gain or loss equally.
satya purush chowthe pad basa, santan ka waha sada niwasa,
so ghar darsaya guru pure, bin baje tahan achraj ture--
God dwells in the fourth state (superconscious), and that is where the liberated saints always dwell.
The perfect guru has shown that abode where, without musical instruments, the miraculous music resounds.
age alakh purush darbara, dekha jaye surat se nyara,
tis par agam lok ek nyara, sant surati koi karat vichara--
Ahead is the invisible God’s royal court that can be seen in unique meditation.
There is the unfathomable and marvelous abode that saints in meditation can contemplate.
tahan se darse atal atari, adbhut satguru mahal sawari,
surat hui sat karman gami, purush anami jai samani--
From there you will see the immovable palace, where the immortal satguru dwells.
When your karmas and meditation harmonize, then you will merge with the Nameless God
