Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 92 — no resting place in the world
ਕਬੀਰ ਦੇਖਿ ਦੇਖਿ ਜਗੁ ਢੂੰਢਿਆ ਕਹੂੰ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਠਉਰੁ ॥
kabeer daykh daykh jag dhooNdhi-aa kahoo-aN na paa-i-aa tha-ur.
Kabir, I have seen and observed, and searched all over the world, but I have found no place of rest anywhere.
ਜਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਚੇਤਿਓ ਕਹਾ ਭੁਲਾਨੇ ਅਉਰ ॥੯੨॥
jin har kaa naam na chayti-o kahaa bhulaanay a-or. ||92||
Those who do not remember the Lord's Name - why do they delude themselves in other pursuits? ||92||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: I looked and looked, searching all over the world, but nowhere did I find a place to rest.
Those who do not remember the Naam of the One: why are they lost in other things?
The rest you look for everywhere is found in remembering the One.
No place in the world gives rest; remembering the One does.
Daykh daykh jag: Kabir looked and looked through the whole world, and na paa-i-aa tha-ur, found no resting place.
Then he asks a question of those who har kaa naam na chayti-o, do not remember the Naam of the One: kahaa bhulaanay a-or, why wander lost in other things?
A Question to Sit With
Where do you go looking for rest, and what do you find there?
