Raag Maroo – Bhagat Kabir Ji.

Bhagat Ji scolds someone who has abandoned the righteous and ethical teachings of his religion.

O madman, you have abandoned the essence of your religious teachings; you fill your belly and sleep like a beast; you have wasted this human life.

“Deen bisareyo re diwane deen bisareyo re; bhet bhareyo passua jio soeyo manukh janam hai haareyo.” (rahao).

You have never attended sadhsangat but engrossed yourself in false pursuits; you conduct yourself like a dog, a pig, and a crow. Soon you will have to get up and leave.

“Sadhsangat kabhu nahi kinni racheyo dhandey jhuth; suaan suukar baess jiveh bhatkat chaliyo uuth.”

You consider yourself to be the profound sermon (you think you are great), while others are mere punctuation marks (trifles, unimportant); I have seen those who were false in thought, word and deed, going to hell.

“Aapas ko dhirag kar maane auran ko lagg maat; mansa bacha karmanaa mai dekhay dojak jaat.”

The lusty, the angry, the shrewd, the deceitful, and lazy; waste their lives in slander, and never remember the Lord in meditation.

“Kaami krodhi chaturee bajigar behkaam; ninda karte janam sirano kabhu na simriyo Raam.”

Kabir says O you foolish, idiotic, brutish ones you do not remember the Lord; you have not known His Name (Attributes), how can you ever go across?

“Kahe Kabir chetay nahi murakh mugadh gavaar; Raam Naam janio nahi kaisey utras paar.”
