Kahaen Muhammad sun khud ahdi | ilm ladduni kahu buniyaadi ||

Taadin kee kahiye uptaani | aadi ant aur madhya nishaani ||

Jab ham jaaney aadi ko, to hamhoon baandhey aash ||

Kabir’s Statement
Suno Muhammad saanchey peera | samrath hukum khud aadi Kabira ||
Ab Ham kahein suno chitlaayi | aadi ant sab kahon bujhaayi ||
Pratham Samrath aadi akela | unke sang hataa nahin chela ||
Saakhi (couplet) – Vaahidan the tab aap mein, sakal hato tehi maanh |
Jyaun taroovar ke beej mein, pushp paat phal chhaanh ||
God Kabir addresses Muhammad and starts to give him the Ilm Ladduni and begins by telling him that Supreme God is God Kabir. In the beginning the Supreme God was alone. He had no companions / servants. Everything was contained within that One Supreme God, like a seed contains the whole tree with branches, flowers and shade.
God Kabir explains everything to Muhammad. It is a lengthy dialogue. Please read full Muhammad Bodh (Bodh means Gyan or Knowledge/information)
