With the One as Support, Blessings Arrive on Their Own

ਗਉੜੀ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ ॥
ga-orhee kabeer jee.
Gauree, Kabir Jee:
ਜਾ ਕੈ ਹਰਿ ਸਾ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਭਾਈ ॥
jaa kai har saa thaakur bhaa-ee.
One who has the Lord as his Master, O Siblings of Destiny
ਮੁਕਤਿ ਅਨੰਤ ਪੁਕਾਰਣਿ ਜਾਈ ॥੧॥
mukat anant pukaaran jaa-ee. ||1||
- countless liberations knock at his door. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When the One is your true support, dear friend, then freedom and blessings come knocking at your door — more than you could ever count.

When the One is your true support, blessings arrive at your door on their own.
The deeper layer

When the One is your support, blessings come to your door on their own.

Kabir begins with how much comes to someone who rests in the One. Jaa kai har saa thaakur bhaa-ee — whoever has the One as their thaakur, dear friends. Thaakur means Master, the One you lean on.

Mukat anant pukaaran jaa-ee — countless kinds of mukat, freedom, come knocking at their door. It is freedom and blessing arriving by itself, the fruit of trust.

Think of friends ringing the doorbell to ask you out to play. You did not chase them down. They came to you.

A Question to Sit With

What feels different when you know you have someone truly steady to lean on?
