[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 177807, member: 2610"] Lucky Singh ji, I'm glad you are trying to make connections between various things. But further research and study is needed. Yes and Guru Ramanand was his Guru, and the Guru of many of the authors of Guru Granth Sahib including Dhanna, Sain, Pipa, Ravidas, etc. Their bani as well as his bani is also recorded in Guru Granth Sahib. That's not what he is saying this shabad. The english translation can be misleading. [COLOR=Blue] ਸਗਲ ਜਨਮੁ ਸਿਵ ਪੁਰੀ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥ (People said) You have wasted your time (meditating) in Kashi, ਮਰਤੀ ਬਾਰ ਮਗਹਰਿ [B]ਉਠਿ ਆਇਆ[/B] ॥੨॥ when you were about to die, you got up and came to Magahar.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkGreen]We can go through the entire shabad if you like but basically Kabir is telling us what people said to him in his old age when he arived at Magahar. They say Kabir has wasted his Bhagati by changing locations. Kabir says all locations are the same to me. [/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkGreen]So it has little to do with Ramanand and nothing to do with Malas.[/COLOR] This shabad is unrelated to the topic. [COLOR=Blue]Kabir says, (I) cannot do Bhagati when (I am) hungry (of Maya), Take your mala back I only ask for the dust from the feet of saints, and I don't owe anyone anything (read: I am not below anyone but saints) 1. So he asks, Madhav how can I be with you? If you don't give it to me, then I will beg for it. Pause [/COLOR] Kabir gets frustrated with Bhagati one day and tells the Lord, take back your mala. (If anything he does bhagati with a mala but the shabad goes much deeper than this) [COLOR=DarkGreen]Later in the shabad he asks for what looks like his basic needs like ghee, dal, blanket, etc. Which can be interpreted as just that or a deeper meaning can be found.

[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue]ਹਮਾਰੇ ਕੁਲ ਕਉਨੇ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਿਓ ॥ ਜਬ ਕੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਲਈ ਨਿਪੂਤੇ ਤਬ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਭਇਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Who has ever said "Ram" in this house and in our ancestors?
