Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When pride picks fights inside me and craving runs wild, everything feels at war.
But when I spent my time with quiet, steady remembering, I felt truly close to the One again.
This one says the house of feelings calms down when you spend time with the right member.
Kabir keeps the family story going and names the troublemakers. Pride, the "me first" feeling, picks fights like a quarrelsome stepfather. Desire is always tipsy and out of control. When these two run the house, there is fighting all day inside.
Then he names the cure, and it is simple. When he stayed with his "elder brother," meditation — quiet, steady remembering of the One — he felt loved and close again.
Think of a noisy classroom. Shouting at each noisy kid rarely works. But when the calm teacher walks in, the whole room settles. You do not have to battle every feeling. Spend your time with steady remembering, and the whole house finds peace.
What's a calm, steady habit that settles you when your feelings are all stirred up?
