The Lord cannot be obtained by giving in alms gold equal to one’s weight.
But, I have bought my Master by giving Him my soul.
Now I recognise the Lord, as my own.
My mind is intuitively pleased with Him.
Brahma spoke of Him, but could not find His limit.
By devoting myself to Him, the Lord has come to reside in me.
Says Kabeer, I have renounced my restless intellect. I have made devotion to Lord my sole destiny.
Shabad Interpretation in Hindi:
प्रभु परमेश्वर को कंचन से तौल कर नहीं पाया जा सकता, मैने तो प्रभु को अपना मन बेच कर खरीद लिया है। मेरे मन ने सहज ज्ञान से ही प्रभु को अपना जान किया है। ब्रह्मा ने जिस की महमा को कह कह कर भी नहीं जाना, उस ने मेरी भगती द्वारा मेरे मन मंदिर मे निवास कर लिया है। कबीर जी कहते हैं, मैने अपने मन की चंचलता को त्याग दिया है और अपने भाग्य को सिर्फ प्रभु भगती मे लगा दीआ है।

I have read this Shabd in the past but the way it influenced me on listening from you all, has been a unique experience. I have heard this Shabad over and over and over again. It brings tears to eyes. I questioned myself : what have been I doing all my life ? Why did I not learn to sing like that ?
May you all have a long and creative life.
With Regards
