I. 65. avadhu bhule ko ghar lawe
avadhu bhule ko ghar lawe,
so jan hamako bhaavye
ghar mein jog bhog ghar hee main, ghar taj ban nahin jaavye
ghar mein jukt mukt ghar hee mein, jo guru alakh lakhaavye
sahaj sunn mein rahye samaanaa, sahaj samaadhi lagaavye
unmuni rahye brahm ko cheenhye, param tatva ko dhyaavye
surat-nirat son melaa karke, anhad naad bajaavye
ghar mein basat bastu bhee ghar hai, ghar hee bastu milaavye
kahyen kabir suno ho saadho, jyon kaa tyon thahraavye
He is dear to me indeed who can call back the wanderer to his home. In the home is the true union, in the home is enjoyment of life: why should I forsake my home and wander in the forest? If Brahma helps me to realize truth, verily I will find both bondage and deliverance in home.
He is dear to me indeed who has power to dive deep into Brahma; whose mind loses itself with ease in His contemplation.
He is dear to me who knows Brahma, and can dwell on His supreme truth in meditation; and who can play the melody of the Infinite by uniting love and renunciation in life.
Kabir says: "The home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time."
