WITHOUT WITHOUT THE THE MASTER<br />
MASTER<br />
BY BY BY KABIR KABIR<br />
KABIR<br />
A temple roof<br />
Cannot stay up without rafters;<br />
So without Nam<br />
How can one cross the ocean?<br />
Without a vessel<br />
Water cannot be kept;<br />
So without a Saint<br />
Man cannot be saved from doom.<br />
Woe to him<br />
Who thinks not of God,<br />
Whose mind and heart<br />
Remain absorbed in ploughing<br />
The field of the senses.<br />
Without a ploughman<br />
Land cannot be tilled,<br />
Without a thread<br />
Jewels cannot be strung,<br />
Without a knot<br />
The sacred tie cannot be made;<br />
So without a Saint<br />
Man cannot be saved from doom.<br />
A child cannot be born<br />
Without father and mother,<br />
Clothes cannot be washed<br />
Without water,<br />
There can be no horseman<br />
Without a horse;<br />
So without a Master<br />

None can reach the court of the Lord.<br />
Without music<br />
There can be no wedding;<br />
Rejected by her husband,<br />
A bad woman suffers misery;<br />
So man suffers<br />
Without a Saint.<br />
Says Kabir, My friend,<br />
Only one thing attain:<br />
Become a gurumukh<br />
That you not die again.<br />
