Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 100 — love that doubles day by day
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: in the Sangat of the holy, love for the One grows double, day after day.
One who has turned away from the One is like a black blanket: washing it does not make it white.
In the Sangat, love keeps growing; a heart that has turned away is not changed by washing the outside.
Sangat saadh kee din din doonaa hayt: in the Sangat of the holy, love doubles day by day, like a small plant that grows a little more each morning.
The saakat, one who has turned away from the One, is like a black wool blanket: dho-ay ho-ay na sayt, washing does not make it white. Outer scrubbing and showy rituals do not change the color of the wool; only the heart's turning does.
Where in your life is love growing day by day?
