Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 74 — wherever love leads, I go
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: I am the Lord's dog, and Moti is my name.
There is a rope around my neck; wherever I am pulled, there I go.
Kabir belongs wholly to the One and goes wherever the One leads.
Kookar raam ko, I am the dog of raam, the One. Mutee-aa mayro naa-o, Moti is my name, a pet name like "Pearl." A dog with a name belongs to someone and is loved.
Galay hamaaray jayvree, there is a rope on my neck: jah khinchai tah jaa-o, wherever it pulls, I go. Kabir chooses the humblest picture he can find to show complete trust and belonging.
Think of a puppy on a walk with someone it loves. It does not argue about the path; it trots along happily.
Who or what do you trust enough to follow?
