“Tinka kabahu na nindiye, jo paanv tale ho |<br />
Kabahu uth aakhin pade, peer ghaneri ho ||”<br />
16. The magnificence of a visit to the Guru 1 : - Whenever<br />
you get time, try to come to satsang and do not come to satsang to<br />
put on airs (pride-superiority). Rather come considering yourself ill.<br />
Like, an ill person, no matter how wealthy he is, or whatever high<br />
designation he has, when he goes to a hospital, at that time his only<br />
aim is to become free from the illness. Wherever the doctor says<br />
him to lie down, he lies down, wherever the doctor says to sit down,<br />
he sits down, when directed to go out, goes out. Then when he is<br />
called to come in, comes in quietly. If you come in satsang 2 just like<br />
this, then you will get the benefit of coming in the satsang; otherwise<br />
it is fruitless. In satsang, wherever you get to sit, sit down,<br />
whatever you get to eat, considering it as prasaad 3 by grace of<br />
Parmatma 4 Kabir, eat it and remain happy.<br />
Kabir, sant Milan koon chaaliye, taj maaya abhimaan |<br />
jo-jo kadam aage rakhe, vo hi yagya samaan ||<br />
Kabir, sant milan koon jaaiye, din mein kai-kai baar |<br />
aasoj ke meh jyon, ghanaa kare upkaar ||<br />
Kabir, darshan saadhu ka, Parmatma aavae yaad |<br />
lekhe mein vohe ghadi, baaki ke din baad ||<br />
Kabir, darshan saadu ka, mukh par basae suhaag |<br />
darsh unheen ko hot hain, jinke pooran bhaag ||<br />
17. The grandeur of Guru: - If an Akhand Paath 5 or satsang<br />
is going on somewhere or one has just gone to visit guruji, then first<br />
of all, one should (do dandwat pranaam) prostrate in reverence<br />
before Guruji, and should later bow before Sat Granth Sahib and<br />
the pictures like the idol of God Kabir, the idol of Saint Garibdas <strong>Ji</strong><br />
and Swami Ramdevanand <strong>Ji</strong> and of Guru <strong>Ji</strong>, so that only the<br />
devotion is maintained. Do not have to worship the idol. To only bow<br />
respectfully before a picture, like the idol of God or Guru <strong>Ji</strong>, does<br />
not come in worship. It only helps in maintaining the devotion of a<br />
