Jo Dise So To Hai Nahin,
Hai So Kaha Na Jayee
Bin Dekhe Parteet Na Aave,
Kahe Na Koyee Patiyana
Samajh Hoye To Rabeen Cheenho,
Achraj Hoye Ayana
Koi Dhyave Nirakar Ko,
Koi Dhyave Aakaara
Ja Bidhi In Dono Te Nyara,
Jane Jananhara
Woh Raag To Likhia Na Jayee
Matra Lakhe Na Kana
Kahat Kabir So Padhe Na Parlay,
Surat Nirat Jin Jana
English Translation
What is seen is not the Truth
What is cannot be said
Trust comes not without seeing
Nor understanding without words
The wise comprehends with knowledge
To the ignorant it is but a wonder
Some worship the formless God
Some worship His various forms
In what way He is beyond these attributes
Only the Knower knows
That music cannot be written
How can then be the notes
Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion
Back to Kabir

Comments2WOW THIS POEM REALLY GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE SEE AND WHAT'S ACTUALLY REAL! 😮 TRUST IS SO IMORTANT, AND TRUE WISDOM COMES FROM NOTICING THE DIFFERENCES AND BEYOND APPEARANCES. 🧠🔮 KABIR HAD A WAY WITH WORDS! 👏👏
Just came across this thought-provoking poem called Illusion and Reality! It truly highlights the idea that "what is seen is not the truth, what is cannot be said." 😵 It makes you realize the importance of inner awareness to overcome the illusions of life! 🧘🌌 Brilliantly written! 👌💫
