Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
You were given something amazing the day you were born — a whole life, wide open, yours to fill.
So here is a gentle question worth asking yourself: with all these days, have you made room for the One who gave them? There is no better time to begin than right now.
avtar aa-ay kahaa tum keenaa — having come into life, what have you done? raam ko naam — holding the One in mind. Kabir opens not with blame but with a wake-up nudge: a life is a treasure, and the sweetest thing to fill it with is loving remembrance. This verse is Pauri0; in Kabir's shabads the rahaao (the Pause, the keynote) often comes second, in the next pauri.
What is one small way you could make room today for something that matters most to you?
