Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: now I truly know the One, and knowing it, my mind has finally grown quiet and content.
My heart is at peace, even if others cannot see it or believe it. And if they do not, well, that is alright, I cannot make them feel what I have found. I just keep resting in it.
This one says real inner peace does not need anyone else's agreement to be real.
Kahi kabeer ab jaani-aa: "Kabir says, now I know Him." Then comes man maani-aa, my mind is content and at rest. This is like Mannai in Japji. It means trusting from the inside, not just agreeing with an idea.
Log na pateejai: people do not believe it. Kabir stays calm about that. Think of loving a song that your friends find boring. It still makes you happy. You don't need their vote.
Ta-o ki-aa keejai: "so what can I do?" Kabir just rests in what he has found. His peace does not depend on anyone else's approval.
Can something be deeply true for you even if you cannot get anyone else to see it?
