[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 53631, member: 35"] QUEST JI Kabeer is not easy. His use of imagery is difficult because the mental images in one part of a poem have no clue in something more concrete, or they are linked to other images that also have no clue in something concrete. Thanks for the page number. Kabeer has become a kind of hobby for me. Looking up his verses to see what the entire poem seems to be saying. This starated on SPN by the way. SPN is a vast ocean of mental challenges, as you have probably already noticed. Tonight I will find the entire poem, and try to figure it out. By then a well-versed expert on Kabeer is certain to respond. But I will post anyway. My hunch is that Kabeer is saying this: There only a few people who have truly died unto themselves, have detached from Ego, and in a sense have died, as their Ego identity is no more. These rare people are alive in another way. They are alive because they are imbued with the blessings of Akal Purath, Satgur, Waheguru. In the meantime, I did find a web site with a number of references from Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji that appear to describe related ideas. [SIZE=2]He is truly blind, who follows the way shown by the blind man. O Nanak why should the one who can see, get lost? Do not call them blind, who have no eyes in their face. They alone are blind, O Nanak, who wander away from their Pure Being (sggs 954). Without the Shabad (or Divine Name), the world does not hear, and does not see; deaf and blind, it wanders around (sggs 429). Those who do not serve the True Guru (the Self, God, etc.), and who do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad (or Divine Name) - Spiritual Wisdom does not enter into their Heart; they are like dead bodies in the world (sggs 88). They do not serve the True Guru, and they do not embrace love for the Divine Name. Do not even think that they are alive - the Creator Himself has killed them (sggs 589). The Manmukhs (material beings) are sick and diseased in the world (sggs 118). [/SIZE] Good question. [/QUOTE]
