Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: whether it is an hour, half an hour, or half of that,
whatever time is spent talking with the devotees of the One is a gain.
Even a few minutes with those who love the One is a gain.
Even a little time with people who love the One is worth it.
Ayk gharhee aaDhee gharee: one gharhee, half a gharee. A gharhee is an old measure of time, about twenty-four minutes. Bhagtan saytee gostay: talking together with devotees. Jo keenay so laabh: whatever time is spent is profit.

Who could you spend a few minutes with this week who helps you remember the One?
