Kabir Soota Kya Kare, Koore Kaaj Niwaar
Jis Panthu Tu Chaalna, Soyee Panth Samwaar
Translation
Arise from slumber O Kabir, divest yourself of the rubbish deeds
Be focused and illumine the path on which you were meant to tread
Explanation
Here slumber refers to a state of daze and fixation on what is perceived
by the senses. Sleep is no different from the normal waking state
in that it engages our senses completely. Both are essentially of
the same intrinsic nature where Mind is the central player. Kabir
recognizes the futility of mental and physical worlds and categorizes
everything in these domains as "rubbish". He then urges
us to focus ourselves on finding our true spiritual root - putting
an end to the cyclical realities that have kept us engaged thus
far.
