Abode of the Beloved

    Oh Companion that abode is unmatched,
    Where my complete beloved is...

    In that place there is no happiness or unhappiness,
    No truth or untruth
    Neither sin nor virtue.
    There is no day or night, no moon or sun,
    There Is Radiance Without Light.

    There is no knowledge or meditation
    No repetition of mantra or austerities,
    Neither speech coming from Vedas or books.
    Doing, not-doing, holding, leaving
    All these are all lost too in this place.

    No home, no homeless, neither outside or inside,
    Micro and macrocosm are non-existent.
    Five elemental constituents and the Trinity are both not there Witnessing un-struck shabad sound is also not there.

    No root or flower, neither branch or seed,
    Without a tree fruits are adorning,
    Primordial om sound, breath-synchronized soham,
    This and that - all are absent, the breath too unknown

    Where the beloved is there is utterly nothing
    Says Kabir I have come to realize.
    Whoever sees my indicative sign
    Will accomplish the goal of liberation.

    Kabir

Growth

Growth

Diversity is wisdom,
Adversity is courage.
Each is not borrowed or bought
Earned or taught.
Gold within the soul
Seeds planted, blessed with a kiss
Strengthened by experience
Grounded by acceptance
Free in knowledge
Not shackled in fear
Allowing each branch a space to grow
Not suffocating the lesson
Or withered by expectation
Every branch built in strength
To carry foliage of happiness
Absence of the branch
Is absence of foliage
Without each……
Where is growth?
