Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 155 — where forgiveness is, there is the One
ਕਬੀਰਾ ਜਹਾ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਤਹ ਧਰਮੁ ਹੈ ਜਹਾ ਝੂਠੁ ਤਹ ਪਾਪੁ ॥
kabeeraa jahaa gi-aan tah Dharam hai jahaa jhooth tah paap.
Kabir, where there is spiritual wisdom, there is righteousness and Dharma. Where there is falsehood, there is sin.
ਜਹਾ ਲੋਭੁ ਤਹ ਕਾਲੁ ਹੈ ਜਹਾ ਖਿਮਾ ਤਹ ਆਪਿ ॥੧੫੫॥
jahaa lobh tah kaal hai jahaa khimaa tah aap. ||155||
Where there is greed, there is death. Where there is forgiveness, there is God Himself. ||155||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: where there is wisdom, there is goodness. Where there is lying, there is wrongdoing.
Where there is greed, there is death. Where there is forgiveness, there is the One.
Where there is forgiveness, there is the One.
What we carry inside brings its companions: wisdom brings goodness, and forgiveness brings the One.
Jahaa gi-aan tah Dharam hai: where there is wisdom, there is Dharma, right living. Jahaa jhooth tah paap: where there is falsehood, there is wrong.
Jahaa lobh tah kaal hai: where there is greed, there is death, the slow dying of the good in us. Jahaa khimaa tah aap: where there is forgiveness, the One is there.
