Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So let's actually go looking for this mind, dear friends:
when it slips free of the body, where does it go?
Kabir invites everyone to search for the mind together.
Is man ka-o ko-ee khojahu bhaa-ee — search for this mind, bhaa-ee, brothers and sisters. It is a shared invitation: let's look together. Tan chhootay man kahaa samaa-ee — when it leaves the body, where does the mind go?
He does not hand you a neat answer here. He keeps the wonder alive, the way his riddle-poems always do. Think of a teacher who asks the class a big question and lets everyone wonder for a while. Kabir draws you into the search yourself.
If your thoughts aren't your body, then what are they made of?
