Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have not let go of reaching for what belongs to others, their money and the people in their lives, or of talking badly about others and picking fights.
Because of these, I keep coming and going, born again and again, and the story never ends.
Some habits keep pulling you back into the same circle.
He lists them plainly: wanting other people's money, wanting what is not his to want, speaking ill of others, and quarreling. It is an honest list, not a shaming.
Aavaa gavan means coming and going, being born again and again. Kabir says these habits keep that circle turning. It is like a merry-go-round that keeps spinning as long as you stay on. The good news is that you can choose to step off.
What is a habit that keeps pulling you back around to the same trouble?
