Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Hearing that inner music, the mind fills up and feels whole. It stops wavering, and passing distractions lose their pull.
Kabir says: the free-hearted seeker who has played this game through does not have to be born again. He has finished it beautifully, and rests, complete, in the One.
This one says that when the inner music fills you, the mind feels whole and comes home.
Sun man magan bha-ay hai pooray — hearing that music, the mind is filled with joy and becomes pooray, complete. Maa-i-aa, the pull of passing things, no longer shakes it.
Kabir calls himself the bairaagee again, the free-hearted seeker. He says he has "played the game," khayl ga-i-o. That means he has lived the whole practice through. Now the restless coming back, birth after birth, is over.
Think of finishing a long game and walking home, tired and happy. This ending is not running away from anything. It is arriving home, complete.
What makes you feel most whole and complete — so complete that distractions just lose their pull?
