Kabir So Dhan Sanchiye, Jo Aage Ko Hoye
Sees Charaye Potli, Le Jaat Na Dekhya Koye
Translation
Kabir, save the wealth that 'remains' in the moment ultimate
Departing with a crown of material wealth, none has crossed the
gate
Explanation
All our life we are busy saving. Saving, for the rainy days. Saving
for the unforeseeable future, the old age, etc. Surely, it is advisable
to save. However, there are also people who will save, at times,
by depriving themselves of even basics that are essential for their
individual growth and development. And, there are also people, who
will save by NOT sharing, by amassing wealth with wrong means and
corrupt practices like bribery and theft - victims of greed and
insecurity.
Kabir, keeping these factors in mind, says that this amassed worldly
wealth eventually does not accompany when we die. It simply stays
behind. Therefore, Kabir suggests that we should save the wealth
that will be helpful now and beyond, the strength of which shall
become the path to liberation. The "true" wealth that
one is able to take forward is the "Naam" and not the
worldly wealth. The Naam is strung to one's inner self while the
external wealth is limited to the physical body which we all know
does not go with us after death
