Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Deep in the quiet center of my heart, I set up the wedding tent. There I spoke the wisdom of God.
I was joined to the One, my King. Oh, what great good fortune is mine!
This one says the deepest meeting happens in the quiet center of you.
Kabir puts the wedding inside. Naabh kamal meh baydee rach lay — in the lotus at my center, I set up the wedding tent (baydee). The lotus is a picture for the deepest self. The great meeting doesn't happen in a faraway holy place. It happens in the quiet middle of his own heart. There, barahm gi-aan uchaaraa — he speaks the wisdom of God.
Think of a treehouse, a secret favorite spot that is all yours. The most special event of all takes place right there, inside you.
His response is pure thankfulness. As badbhaag hamaaraa — such is my great good fortune! He can hardly believe his luck. The only fitting answer to being so blessed is amazed gratitude.
Where is the 'quiet center' of your heart, and what happens when you rest there?
