ਕਬੀਰ ਸਾਤ ਸਮੁੰਦਹਿ ਮਸੁ ਕਰਉ ਕਲਮ ਕਰਉ ਬਨਰਾਇ ॥
कबीर सात समुंदहि मसु करउ कलम करउ बनराइ ॥
Kabīr sāṯ samunḏėh mas kara▫o kalam kara▫o banrā▫e.
Kabeer, if I could change the seven seas into ink and make all the vegetation my pen,
ਬਸੁਧਾ ਕਾਗਦੁ ਜਉ ਕਰਉ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਲਿਖਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੮੧॥
बसुधा कागदु जउ करउ हरि जसु लिखनु न जाइ ॥८१॥
Basuḏẖā kāgaḏ ja▫o kara▫o har jas likẖan na jā▫e. ||81||
and the earth my paper, even then, I could not write the Praises of the Lord. ||81||
In this selok Kabir Ji has conveyed that praises of Waheguru are infinite.

Gurvinder Ji's.
Well I would like to add a few comments myself as I have been activated again.
Sri Kabir says, even if I make use of the seven oceans water as my ink and use the timber of the entire vegetation as my pen,
the entire earth as my paper, even then it is not enough to write the praises of Almighty
i.e. the praises are endless and everything else has an end.

ਕਬੀਰ ਜਾਤਿ ਜੁਲਾਹਾ ਕਿਆ ਕਰੈ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਬਸੇ ਗੁਪਾਲ ॥
कबीर जाति जुलाहा किआ करै हिरदै बसे गुपाल ॥
Kabīr jāṯ julāhā ki▫ā karai hirḏai base gupāl.
Kabeer, what can my lowly status as a weaver do to me? The Lord dwells in my heart.
ਕਬੀਰ ਰਮਈਆ ਕੰਠਿ ਮਿਲੁ ਚੂਕਹਿ ਸਰਬ ਜੰਜਾਲ ॥੮੨॥
कबीर रमईआ कंठि मिलु चूकहि सरब जंजाल ॥८२॥
Kabīr rama▫ī▫ā kanṯẖ mil cẖūkėh sarab janjāl. ||82||
Kabeer, the Lord hugs me close in His Embrace; I have forsaken all my entanglements. ||82||
I would like to thank Gurvinder Ji for her sewa in keeping this thread alive during my 3 months' absence.
I take over from today.

Sri KabirJi says, dear brother, my low caste will never effect (put me down) because the sustainer of the universe (Almighty) resides in my heart.
Kabīr rama▫ī▫ā kanṯẖ mil cẖūkėh sarab janjāl. ||82||
When the greatest is among all and within His creation, He has taken me into His embrace, i.e. Almighty has blessed me His oneness and all worldly attachments have vanished.

ਕਬੀਰ ਐਸਾ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਮੰਦਰੁ ਦੇਇ ਜਰਾਇ ॥
कबीर ऐसा को नही मंदरु देइ जराइ ॥
Kabīr aisā ko nahī manḏar ḏe▫e jarā▫e.
Kabeer, will anyone set fire to his home
ਪਾਂਚਉ ਲਰਿਕੇ ਮਾਰਿ ਕੈ ਰਹੈ ਰਾਮ ਲਿਉ ਲਾਇ ॥੮੩॥
पांचउ लरिके मारि कै रहै राम लिउ लाइ ॥८३॥
Pāʼncẖa▫o larike mār kai rahai rām li▫o lā▫e. ||83||
and kill his five sons (the five thieves) to remain lovingly attached to the Lord? ||83||
Kabir says, there is rarely any such person who sets fire (recitation of the Almighty's name) to burn the physical body's ego.
During such fire (meditation) the five sons Kam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Ahankar are burnt to death.

ਕਬੀਰ ਐਸਾ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਦੇਵੈ ਫੂਕਿ ॥
कबीर ऐसा को नही इहु तनु देवै फूकि ॥
Kabīr aisā ko nahī ih ṯan ḏevai fūk.
Kabeer, will anyone burn (the ego of) his own body?
ਅੰਧਾ ਲੋਗੁ ਨ ਜਾਨਈ ਰਹਿਓ ਕਬੀਰਾ ਕੂਕਿ ॥੮੪॥
अंधा लोगु न जानई रहिओ कबीरा कूकि ॥८४॥
Anḏẖā log na jān▫ī rahi▫o kabīrā kūk. ||84||
The people are blind - they do not know, although Kabeer continues to shout at them. ||84||
Because most people are blind-folded by ignorance but do not realize this, Kabir is making an extra effort that he might be heard by some fortunate ones while in their state of ignorance. He hopes that those fortunate ones will get the message by his shouting to pass over the message of truth.

ਕਬੀਰ ਸਤੀ ਪੁਕਾਰੈ ਚਿਹ ਚੜੀ ਸੁਨੁ ਹੋ ਬੀਰ ਮਸਾਨ ॥
कबीर सती पुकारै चिह चड़ी सुनु हो बीर मसान ॥
Kabīr saṯī pukārai cẖih cẖaṛī sun ho bīr masān.
Kabeer, the widow mounts the funeral pyre and cries out, "Listen, O brother funeral pyre.
ਲੋਗੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ਚਲਿ ਗਇਓ ਹਮ ਤੁਮ ਕਾਮੁ ਨਿਦਾਨ ॥੮੫॥
लोगु सबाइआ चलि गइओ हम तुम कामु निदान ॥८५॥
Log sabā▫i▫ā cẖal ga▫i▫o ham ṯum kām niḏān. ||85||
All people must depart in the end; it is only you and I". ||85||
Deleted one part of the response, as the vichaar had no relevance at all to the saloka. This saloka has nothing at all to do with your departure, and we all know that our last rites will be performed on a cremation ground or cemetery depending on who is reading it. Made a copy. If a majority of leaders disagree I will put it back. spnadmin
This is how the sage with knowledge and detachment from worldly materials continuously reminds all to incline towards Almighty because the ignorant foolish ones have left in ego and attachment, therefore for the wise ones the ego must be abandoned.

ਕਬੀਰ ਮਨੁ ਪੰਖੀ ਭਇਓ ਉਡਿ ਉਡਿ ਦਹ ਦਿਸ ਜਾਇ ॥
कबीर मनु पंखी भइओ उडि उडि दह दिस जाइ ॥
Kabīr man pankẖī bẖa▫i▫o ud ud ḏah ḏis jā▫e.
Kabeer, the mind has become a bird; it soars and flies in the ten directions.
ਮਨੁ = mind; ਪੰਖੀ = birds; ਭਇਓ = happened, become; ਉਡਿ = fly; ਦਹ = 10; ਜਾਇ = goes, ਜੈਸੀ = that; ਸੰਗਤਿ = company; ਮਿਲੈ = meets, keeps; ਫਲੁ = flowers/fruits; ਖਾਇ = eats.
ਜੋ ਜੈਸੀ ਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੋ ਤੈਸੋ ਫਲੁ ਖਾਇ ॥੮੬॥
जो जैसी संगति मिलै सो तैसो फलु खाइ ॥८६॥
Jo jaisī sangaṯ milai so ṯaiso fal kẖā▫e. ||86||
According to the company it keeps, so are the fruits it eats. ||86||
On a daily basis our minds are distracted and entranced by the people around us and the situations we’re in. Our minds control us, control the way we think and as a result control our actions. Just like a bird flies, our mind flies around.
In another shabad the '10 directions' explanation is given thus,
ਦਹ ਦਿਸ ਧਾਇ ਮਹਾ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਕਉ ਪਰ ਧਨ ਛੀਨਿ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਹਰਿਓ ਹੈ ॥1388
दह दिस धाइ महा बिखिआ कउ पर धन छीनि अगिआन हरिओ है ॥
He runs around in the ten directions, for the sake of the great poison of corruption.
He steals the wealth of others, and in the end, he is destroyed by his own ignorance.
