[salok] Bhagath Kabeer Jeeo Kae


Recommended Posts

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

ਕਬੀਰ ਗਰਬੁ ਨ ਕੀਜੀਐ ਦੇਹੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਸੁਰੰਗ ॥

kabeer garab na keejee-ai dayhee daykh surang.

Kabeer, do not be so proud, looking at your beautiful body.

ਆਜੁ ਕਾਲ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਤਜਿ ਜਾਹੁਗੇ ਜਿਉ ਕਾਂਚੁਰੀ ਭੁਯੰਗ ॥੪੦॥

aaj kaaliH taj jaahugay ji-o kaaNchuree bhuyang.

Today or tomorrow, you will have to leave it behind, like the snake shedding its skin.

garab = pride

dayhee = body

dekh = see

surang = beautiful

aaj = today

kaal = tomorrow

jahugey = leave

kaanchri = skin (i think)

buyang = snake

Although people thesedays have a skewed idea of what "beautiful" is, we must always remember that our body is not really ours. It was given to us by Maharaj, and if we deface it or keep it unhealthy, we're not taking care of His gift. There's no sense in being proud of something which isn't even ours.

Sooner or later, Maharaj will take back what was is His. Bhagat Kabeer Ji uses the metaphor of a snake shedding its skin to emphasise that our bodies are not permanent in this world. We forget this too often.

Vaheguroooo :nihungsmile: I haven't come across the word bhuyang in baani, but in Sri Dasam Granth its come up several times, and even in terms of khalsaa boli, bhuyangi or bhujangi can be used to address a young khalsaa, because they maneuverability is like that of a snake because some of them are REALLY fast, especially in India :nihungsmile:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
