Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 62 — not my doing
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: I have not done anything, I will not do anything, and this body cannot do anything.
Who knows what the Lord has done? Yet now everyone is calling, "Kabir! Kabir!"
Whatever good comes about is the One's doing, and the credit belongs there.
Naa ham kee-aa, I did nothing; na karhigay, I will do nothing; naa kar sakai sareer, the body can do nothing. Kabir takes no credit for himself.
Ki-aa jaan-o kichh har kee-aa: who knows what the One has done? And yet bha-i-o kabeer kabeer, Kabir's name is on everyone's lips. The fame came, and Kabir points to the One as its source.
Think of a kite soaring high. People cheer the kite, and the wind did the lifting.
Can you think of a good thing in your life that you did not make happen by yourself?
