Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Know this deep down: when you stop clutching at things — money, belongings, even the people you love — as if they were the whole point, you make room for something greater.
Kabir says: listen, saints — love your family, enjoy what you have, and keep the One at the center. There you meet the One who holds the whole world.
putr kaltr lachhimee maa-i-aa ihai tajahu — "renouncing" here means non-clinging, not abandonment; family and wealth are not evil, but they cannot be the soul's true home. milihai saarigpaanee — you meet the Sustainer of the world. Kahat kabeer — "says Kabir" — and the last word is a loosened grip.
What is something you would have a hard time loosening your grip on?
