“LALLAT SHAND”

“TEEN BHAVAN MYAH SARBH SARGH KO AAS MANT MAEH DHOONDHYOH TAAT.

KAHOOHN N DEKHA SUNNAH KAHOOHN NAEH AISOH JANN JOH JANHYOH BIDHAAT.

JANN KOH ANTISHKARAN KARI SAMM VISHEH ROOP KARNI MILL RAAT.

SANJAM SANGAL TIH PAGG JINN DHARYOH LEELA KARR BHO BHRAAT.” {11}.

Sarg = Sansar = world. Kari = haathi = elephant. Raat = does the devotion of.

Hey mitr! {Oh friend} I have searched the world high and low. I have not seen or not heard such persons.

The anthiskaran {conscience} is akin to an elephant which joins the metaphorical female elephant of visheh {vices}. Shackles have been placed around the feet which has resulted in the metaphorical leela {drama} taking place. {11}.

Oh brother!

"SUKH PATT VATT JAGRAT VIKEH TAJEH TRIDDHA JIH BHOG.

AISOH INDREH JATT JANN KOHIK ISTHITH HOGH." {12}.

In the sub-conscious and in the conscious state those who have abandoned indulgences from their mind , from their words , and their bodies. These type of people who have conquered their senses in such a way must be only a rare few. {12}

For whom the mountain floor is the bed , for whom the mountains walls are their houses. For whom tree bark is their clothes , i.e. for whom these metaphorical simplicities have become their lifestyle.

For whom the deer has become their friend and as such wander around freely with them.

These people spend their days consuming simple fruits to sustain themselves. {13}.

Those who drink the cool , pure , fragrant , and utterly sweet water from the mountain streams.

Those who never forget the metaphorical istri {female} of Bramh vichar {divine knowledge} and remain absorbed in bliss at all times , they never let go of this. {14}.

Traah = safety. Paan = hands. Bibhoh = both. Agar = future. Pumaan = person. Maanat = believes in. Taah = them.

Those people who for the sustenance of their life do not clasp both hands or bow their heads to anyone. In this way those folk who live their lives in such a manner , oh friend listen! I consider them to be Godly. They are not mere humans. {15}.

Scholarly divine folk take abode on plain land , yet at other times they are adorned on the Kings throne. They consume simple vegetation , yet at other times they relish a varied banquet.

They adorn a sheet sewn of many tatters , yet at other times they are draped in ornamental robes. Sometimes they wear a simple cloth , sometimes they remain bare.

Sometimes they burn in the direct sunlight , sometimes they are protected by royal canopies. They are shown great respect , yet at other times they are insulted.

Despite these different scenarios the spiritual folk are not affected in their mind since they realize that the Aatma is separate and the pain and sorrow are only restricted to the physical body , the likes of which spiritual folk have abandoned. {16}.

"KRIA SAPPAN PRATTBIMBH TE BIMBH PRABUDH ARANGH.

TATHA TRIDHA KRIT KAAL TRAEH JEEVAN MUKHT ASANGH".{17}.

Prabudh = awoken. Arangh = Seperate. Trikha = three types. Kaal traeh = three era's i.e. past , present , and future. Pratbimbh = shadow , reflection.

Just as a Raja once fell asleep on his throne and he dreamt that he was a pauper begging for scraps and enduring great hardships but upon awakening he realised that it was all a dream and as such was much relieved. The sun casts it's reflection in the multitude of water pots of different colours but in reality the sun is unaffected by these pots. In the same way the spiritual people remain unaffected from physical attachments in the form of mind , words , and body. {17}.

KABITT

They accept donations from Bhgat-folk {spiritual devotees}, they abandon others. They have done the tyagh {renunciation} of the neech {fallen from grace}, since they know that this is wise. They remain sutantar {independent}, wandering around freely.

They choose a separate way from the others, i.e. walk the Sant-marg {spiritual route}, harbour hatred towards none, and have bathed in the metaphorical ocean of divine wisdom.

They collect rags from the streets of cities and towns; sew them into a coat, to protect them from the elements.

"I am doing", "I am indulging",... the Mahatma-jann {spiritually enlightened} are not part of this mind-set. Their bodies are void of mann {pride}, as such remain in true bliss. {18}.
