[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 93082, member: 4990"] The following is a translation of Selok Bhagat Kabir Ji (Selok 21 to 40) from [URL]http://www.srigranth.org/[/URL] My simple understanding of the above translations is summarized as follows:- We are living in a grand scale illusion where things are NOT as they seem. By making many friends we are putting out attention outside of ourselves, whereas the origin and nature of peace always comes from within. Kabir Ji says that death of the physical is also death of the ego. Without the ego we attain total bliss. The treasure of the Naam is not understood by the mundane; [I][B]‘don’t cast pearls before the swine”.[/B][/I] Be in the company of the saints who recognize the one Lord as their Master. This is perceiving 'life' from the permanent aspects while living in duality.
