Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People talk about being saved and carried across, only until they understand what is true at the core.
Kabir says: now my heart has grown pure inside, and my mind is at peace.
Taaran taran tabai lag kahee-ai jab lag tat na jaani-aa: people talk about being carried across only until they know the tat. Tat means the essence, what is true at the core. It is like training wheels. You talk about them all the time, until one day you can just ride.
Once you see what is real, ab ta-o bimal bha-ay ghat hee meh: you become pure right inside your own heart.
Kahi Kabeer man maani-aa: Kabir says his mind is at peace. Man maani-aa means the mind agrees and settles deep inside. It is more than just believing something.
What is a truth that, once you understood it, made you feel calmer inside?
