Aisa Ram Kabir ne Jaana - “ऐसा राम कबीर ने जाना”
Kabir Sahib singing his own glory in His Speech
(Kabir Sagar Gyan Bodh)
ऐसा राम कबीर ने जाना। धर्मदास सुनियो दै काना।।
सुन्न के परे पुरुष को धामा। तहँ साहब है आदि अनामा।।
ताहि धाम सब जीवका दाता। मैं सबसों कहता निज बाता।।
रहत अगोचर (अव्यक्त)सब के पारा। आदि अनादि पुरुष है न्यारा।।
आदि ब्रह्म इक पुरुष अकेला। ताके संग नहीं कोई चेला।।
ताहि न जाने यह संसारा। बिना नाम है जमके चारा।।
नाम बिना यह जग अरुझाना। नाम गहे सौ संतसुजाना।।
सच्चा साहेब भजु रे भाई। यहि जगसे तुम कहो चिताई।।
धोखा में जिव जन्म गँवाई। झूठी लगन लगाये भाई।।
ऐसा जग से कहु समझाई। धर्मदास जिव बोधो जाई।।
सज्जन जिव आवै तुम पासा। जिन्हें देवैं सतलोकहि बासा।
भ्रम गये वे भव जलमाहीं। आदि नाम को जानत नाहीं।।
पीतर पाथर पूजन लागे। आदि नाम घट ही से त्यागे।।
तीरथ बर्त करे संसारे। नेम धर्म असनान सकारे।।
भेष बनाय विभूति रमाये। घर घर भिक्षा मांगन आये।।
जग जीवन को दीक्षा देही। सत्तनाम बिन पुरुषहि द्रोही।।
ज्ञान हीन जो गुरु कहावै। आपन भूला जगत भूलावै।।
ऐसा ज्ञान चलाया भाई। सत साहबकी सुध बिसराई।।
यह दुनियां दो रंगी भाई। जिव गह शरण असुर (काल) की जाई।।
तीरथ व्रत तप पुन्य कमाई। यह जम जाल तहाँ ठहराई।।
यहै जगत ऐसा अरुझाई। नाम बिना बूड़ी दुनियाई।।
जो कोई भक्त हमारा होई। जात वरण को त्यागै सोई।।
तीरथ व्रत सब देय बहाई। सतगुरु चरणसे ध्यान लगाई।।
मनहीं बांध स्थिर जो करही। सो हंसा भवसागर तरही।।
भक्त होय सतगुरुका पूरा। रहै पुरुष के नित्त हजूरा।।
यही जो रीति साधकी भाई। सार युक्ति मैं कहूँ गुहराई।।
सतनाम निज मूल है, यह कबीर समझाय।
दोई दीन खोजत फिरें, परम पुरुष नहिं पाय।।
गहै नाम सेवा करै, सतनाम गुण गावै।
सतगुरु पद विश्वास दृढ़, सहज परम पद पावै।।
ऐसे जग जिव ज्ञान चलाई। धर्मदास तोहि कथा सुनाई।।
यही जगत की उलटी रीती, नाम न जाने कालसों प्रीती।।
वेद रीति सुनयो धर्मदासा। मैं सब भाख कहों तुम पासा।।
वेद पुराण में नामहि भाषा। वेद लिखा जानो तुम साखा।।
चीन्हों है सो दूसर होई। भर्म विवाद करें सब कोई।।
मूल नाम न काहू पाये। साखा पत्रा गह जग लपटाये।।
डार शाख को जो हृदय धरहीं। निश्चय जाय नरकमें परहीं।।
भूले लोग कहे हम पावा। मूल वस्तू बिन जन्म गमावा।।
जीव अभागि मूल नहिं जाने। डार शाख को पुरुष बखाने।।
पढ़े पुराण और वेद बखाने। सतपुरुष जग भेद न जाने।।
वेद पढ़े और भेद न जाने। नाहक यह जग झगड़ा ठाने।।
वेद पुराण यह करे पुकारा। सबही से इक पुरुष नियारा।
तत्वदृष्टा को खोजो भाई, पूर्ण मोक्ष ताहि तैं पाई।
कविः नाम जो बेदन में गावा, कबीरन् कुरान कह समझावा।
वाही नाम है सबन का सारा, आदि नाम वाही कबीर हमारा।।
In this Supreme God Kabir Sahib Ji is saying to His best disciple that listen carefully, I (Kabir Sahib) attained that Purna Brahm (Param Akshar Purush) God (He had to Himself speak about His magnificence because no sadhak knew SatPurush. Kabir Sahib, Himself, is playing the role of a devotee, a saint, and God). That God’s (Purna Brahm’s) place is beyond all brahmands. That Aadi Parmatma (Ancient God-SatPurush) resides there. He only is the giver of everything to all the living beings. (Its evidence is also given in Bhagavad Gita ji’s Adhyay 15 Shlok 17). Nobody knows that God. (Its complete evidence is in Bhagavad Gita Ji’s Adhyay 18 Shlok 46, 62, and 66; Adhyay 8 Shlok 8, 9, 10, and Adhyay 2 Shlok 17) and the method for attaining Him is not described in any of the holy scriptures. Therefore, without the sumiran (rememberance) of Satnaam and Saarnaam, by doing Kaal sadhna (jaap of only ‘Om’ mantra), they become food of Kaal only.
Worship the True God (Eternal God). His sadhna is done by Satnaam and Saarnaam. Because of being ignorant of this, rishis (sages) and saints develop intense interest also; also do sadhna (meditation) mentioned in Vedas for thousands of years; but, it goes in vain. They do not become completely liberated. Sahib Kabir is saying to Dharmdas Ji that those virtuous men, desirous of well-being, who, after leaving their wrong sadhna will come to you to take naam; give them Satnaam and Saarnaam mantra. As a result of which, they will escape from Kaal’s trap and go to Satlok. Then, after being free from birth-death, they will attain the happiness of Purna Parmatma (Supreme God). Because of not getting the right path (way of worship), ignorant souls started worshipping stones (idols); they are searching God in fasts, places of pilgrimage, temple, mosques etc, which is useless. All this has been started by selfish, foolish people and fake gurus. A guru, who does not give Satnaam and Saarnaam, is a rival of SatPurush (Kabir Sahib); he, by himself doing and making others do wrong sadhna, is taking himself as well as his followers to hell. He himself is misled and is also misleading ignorant and innocent souls.
In Vedas and Gitaji the grandeur of ‘Om’ naam has been described that this also is not the original naam. Apart from Saarnaam the incomplete naam is said to be ‘ansh’ naam (partial naam) which is not of complete liberation. It has been said about this that the world is entangled in branches (the sadhna of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv and Brahm-Kaal and Mother Durga is called branch) and leaves (has been referred to worship of gods-goddesses). He who worships these goes to hell. Its evidence is in Gita Ji’s Adhyay 14 Shlok 5 and Adhyay 9 Shlok 25 and in holy Gita’s Adhyay 7 Shlok 12 to 15.
Then has called Purna Parmatma (Supreme God) as the origin, and that no one knows that God and His way of worship. They, out of ignorance, consider Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv and Sri Ram and Sri Krishna Ji as the eternal God. “Jeev abhaage mool nahin jaane, daar-patr ko Purush bakhaane”. The worshippers in this world, despite reading the Ved scriptures, are unable to understand them. They quarrel pointlessly. Whereas, Holy Ved, Gita and Puraan also say this only that the eternal God is someone else. For evidence, there is a complete description in Gita Ji’s Adhyay 15 Shlok 16-17. Those who worship these three gods (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiv), they can never become liberated. Oh Ignorant Souls! Do not engage in worship of these gods. Do sadhna of Purna Parmatma. Sahib Kabir is saying to Dharmdas that tell this to all the living beings; remove their dilemmas, and make them aware of the way of worship and the magnificence of SatPurush.
