KABIR SAHIB JI
Kabir is one of the greatest Saints in india.
He is a saint in a least three of the major religions in the world.
His music composed over 400 years ago is widely sung today.
The very ancient poetic song below speaks of yoga
and a yogi who becomes attuned to universal consciousness
in the face of great difficulty
It is traditionally sung , I linked to the music
The translation is provided also
On the practice of yoga "If the union yogis seek came from roaming around in the buff - every deer in the forest would be saved."
Here Veena Sahasrabuddhe sing it.
I HAVE BEEN A YOGI FOR ETERNITY
|
hama mOnI hama bole, bole I keep mum(quiet) I speak |
|
|
avadhUtA yugana yugana hama yogI oh saintly one, |
rUpa, sarUpa, arUpa dikhAke Showing at times outward form, at other times inner reality, yet again neither |
|
saba ThOra jamAta hamarI, jamAta hamarI it is my clan all around, my clan! |
hamahImen hamato khele I play within myself |
|
sabahI ThOra para melA, melA those big gatherings everywhere |
kahe kabirA jU suno bhaI Sadho Kabir says listen oh saints |
|
hama sabamAn hEn, saba hEn hamamAn I am in everyone, everyone is in me |
nAhIn koI ichchhA ( I have no unfulfilled desire |
|
hama hEn bahurI akelA and yet I am alone |
apanI madhImen Apa mEn dolUn I sway in my own hut |
|
hamahI siddha, samAdhi hamahI I am the goal and the way |
khelUn sahaja svaichchhA I play as it pleases me |
