Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The deepest part of you was never really born and never really dies — it's free of all that.
When you stop worrying about coming and going, you rest, steady and constant, in love.
Here is Kabir's answer to his own opening question — and it's a profound one, offered simply. The soul is not born, even though he thinks it is; it is free from birth and death. The deepest part of you — the light, the awareness, the spark that is really 'you' — was never actually born and will never actually die; only the body comes and goes. And the practical fruit: when you give up your ideas of birth and death — when you stop being ruled by the fear of ending — you remain constantly absorbed in the Lord's Love. Let go of the fear of coming and going, and what's left is a steady resting in love. For a child, gently: the truest part of you is safe, and always was.
How might it feel to know that the deepest, truest part of you is completely safe?
