ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਭਜੁ ਸਾਰਿਗਪਾਨੀ ॥
kaho kabeer bhaj saarigpaanee.
Says Kabir, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord, the Sustainer of the earth.
ਆਵਤ ਦੀਸੈ ਜਾਤ ਨ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੪॥੧॥੧੧॥੬੨॥
aavat deesai jaat na jaanee. ||4||1||11||62||
He is not seen to be coming or going; He is the Knower of all. ||4||1||11||62||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Says Kabir: remember the One who holds up the whole earth.
That One isn't seen coming or going — it simply is, always, the One who knows and holds everything.
Behind every coming and going is the One who never comes, never goes, and always knows.
The close lifts from the story of a single birth to the changeless One behind all births. Aavat deesai jaat na jaanee — the One is not "seen coming or going," beyond birth and passing, the quiet knower of all. After a shabad about forgetting and remembering, Kabir points to the one thing that never forgets and never leaves. This is the eternal ground beneath every arriving and departing — steady, present, aware.
A Question to Sit With
What in your life feels steady and always there, no matter what changes around you?
