Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Says Kabir: speak the two little letters of the Beloved's Name — Raa, Maa.
If the One is truly yours, the One will keep you safe.
The whole teaching comes down to two small sounds, held with love.
Kaho Kabeer akhar du-ay bhaakh — Kabir says, speak the two letters. They are Raa and Maa, the Name Raam, the One.
Ho-igaa khasam ta lay-igaa raakh — if the One is truly yours, the One will keep you safe. Khasam means Master, the One you belong to. That safety is not something you win by being clever. It is the natural care of the One for what belongs to it. Think of a parent's hand reaching for a small child crossing the road. Simple, small, and enough.
What is one small thing you can carry with you that keeps you feeling safe?
