ਜਿਹ ਸਿਮਰਨਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਤੁਝੁ ਭਾਰ ॥
jih simran naahee tujh bhaar.
Remembering Him in meditation, you shall not be loaded down.
ਸੋ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਅਧਾਰੁ ॥
so simran raam naam aDhaar.
Make this meditative remembrance of the Lord's Name your Support.
ਕਹਿ ਕਬੀਰ ਜਾ ਕਾ ਨਹੀ ਅੰਤੁ ॥
kahi kabeer jaa kaa nahee ant.
Says Kabir, He has no limits;
ਤਿਸ ਕੇ ਆਗੇ ਤੰਤੁ ਨ ਮੰਤੁ ॥੮॥੯॥
tis kay aagay tant na mant. ||8||9||
no tantras or mantras can be used against Him. ||8||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember the One, and nothing weighs you down.
Make this remembrance of the Naam your support.
Kabir says: the One has no limits,
and no spell or charm has any power over the One.
The One has no limits, and no trick has power over the One.
Make the Name your support (adhaar). The One has no limits, and 'no tantras or mantras can be used against Him' — meaning the Infinite cannot be manipulated by magic or ritual shortcuts. It can only be met with love.
A Question to Sit With
Why do you think people look for shortcuts and tricks, and what works better?
