Raam rass piya re jeh rass bissar gaye rass aurr – Raag Gauree – Ang 337

SGGS Angg 337.

Raag Gauree Bhagat Kabeer (Kabir) Ji.

Bhagat Ji tells us the relish and exquisite taste of the Lord’s Name is so overwhelmingly sweet, that all other tastes pale in comparison.

O my mind even if you (find joy to) carry someone else’s burden, they will still not belong to you; this world is transitory like birds perched on a tree.

“Re mann tero ko nahi khich leh jinn bhaar; birkh basero pankh ko taiso eh sansaar.”

I have drunk in the sublime essence of the Lord; with this relish I have forgotten all other tastes.

“Raam rass piya re; jeh rass bissar gaye rass aurr.” (rahao).

What is the point of weeping at the death of others when we ourselves are not permanent?; whoever is born must die, it is only the witch of misery which cries out.

“Aurr moye kya royieh jao aapa thirr na rahaye; jo upjay so binnas hai dukh kar rovay balaaiye.”

The consciousness (liv), gets re-absorbed into the Source from where we came by drinking in the essence of Nectar (Naam); Kabir says, my heart is filled with loving remembrance of the Lord.

“Jeh ki upjee teh rachi peevat mardan laag; kahe Kabir chit chetiya Raam simar bairaag.”
