Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Supreme Being, greater than all the gods, took the form of the man-lion for the sake of a devotee.
Kabir says: no one can find the edge of the One.
The One saves devotees like Prahlaad, again and again.
The One's love for those who love back cannot be measured. O-ay param purakh — the Supreme Being, greater than all the gods, took the form of narsingh, the man-lion. It was bhagat hayt, for the sake of a devotee, someone who loves the One with all their heart.
Kahi kabeer ko lakhai na paar — says Kabir, no one can find the edge of that love. Parahlaad uDhaaray anik baar — the One saved Prahlaad again and again.
Think of a parent who hears their small child call out at night. They come running, every single time. The One's love is like that.
What does it feel like to know someone will show up for you again and again?
