What Good Would It Be To Be A Pebble...

[Degha Singh]

ਕਬੀਰ ਰੋੜਾ ਹੋਇ ਰਹੁ ਬਾਟ ਕਾ ਤਜਿ ਮਨ ਕਾ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ॥

kabeer rorhaa ho-ay rahu baat kaa taj man kaa abhimaan.

Kabeer, let yourself be a pebble on the path; abandon your egotistical pride.

ਐਸਾ ਕੋਈ ਦਾਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਤਾਹਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਭਗਵਾਨੁ ॥੧੪੬॥

aisaa ko-ee daas ho-ay taahi milai bhagvaan. ||146||

Such a humble slave shall meet the Lord God. ||146||

ਕਬੀਰ ਰੋੜਾ ਹੂਆ ਤ ਕਿਆ ਭਇਆ ਪੰਥੀ ਕਉ ਦੁਖੁ ਦੇਇ ॥

kabeer rorhaa hoo-aa ta ki-aa bha-i-aa panthee ka-o dukh day-ay.

Kabeer, what good would it be, to be a pebble? It would only hurt the traveller on the path.

ਐਸਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਉ ਧਰਨੀ ਮਹਿ ਖੇਹ ॥੧੪੭॥

aisaa tayraa daas hai ji-o Dharnee meh khayh. ||147||

Your slave, O Lord, is like the dust of the earth. ||147||

ਕਬੀਰ ਖੇਹ ਹੂਈ ਤਉ ਕਿਆ ਭਇਆ ਜਉ ਉਡਿ ਲਾਗੈ ਅੰਗ ॥

kabeer khayh hoo-ee ta-o ki-aa bha-i-aa ja-o ud laagai ang.

Kabeer, what then, if one could become dust? It is blown up by the wind, and sticks to the body.

ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਐਸਾ ਚਾਹੀਐ ਜਿਉ ਪਾਨੀ ਸਰਬੰਗ ॥੧੪੮॥

har jan aisaa chaahee-ai ji-o paanee sarbang. ||148||

The humble servant of the Lord should be like water, which cleans everything. ||148||

ਕਬੀਰ ਪਾਨੀ ਹੂਆ ਤ ਕਿਆ ਭਇਆ ਸੀਰਾ ਤਾਤਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

kabeer paanee hoo-aa ta ki-aa bha-i-aa seeraa taataa ho-ay.

Kabeer, what then, if one could become water? It becomes cold, then hot.

ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਐਸਾ ਚਾਹੀਐ ਜੈਸਾ ਹਰਿ ਹੀ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੪੯॥

har jan aisaa chaahee-ai jaisaa har hee ho-ay. ||149||

The humble servant of the Lord should be just like the Lord. ||149||

waheguru. so simple yet so deep. dhan guru granth sahib ji

[Jasy]

I have got lost in the city of love,

I am being cleansed, withdrawing myself from my head, hands and feet.

I have got rid of my ego, and have attained my goal.

Thus it has all ended well.

O Waheguru, the Lord pervades both the worlds;

None now appears a stranger to me.
