Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
At the western gate there is a stone,
and above that stone is another window.
Above that window is the Tenth Gate.
Kabir says: it has no end and no edge.
Turn inward, and you find something with no end at all.
Kabir keeps climbing the inner map. Past the "western gate" there is a stone. Above the stone there is a window. Khirhkee oopar dasvaa du-aar — above the window is the dasvaa du-aar, the Tenth Gate. The body has nine openings, like the eyes, ears, and mouth. The Tenth Gate is the inner opening beyond all of them, where awareness meets the endless One.
Kahi Kabeer taa kaa ant na paar — Kabir says it has no end and no far shore. The map serves a simple picture: like opening a small door in your room and finding the whole night sky behind it. Turning inward opens onto something without limit.
Have you ever felt a sense of something huge and endless — bigger than anything you could measure?
