MAAYA. REMAINS THE GREATEST CHEAT

                                              

MAYA, MAHA THAGNI HUM JANI....

.." Maya Maha Thagni Hum Jaani 

Tirgun Phans Liye Kar Dole 

Bole Madhuri Baani

Kesav Ke Kamla Ve Baithi 

Shiv Ki Bhavan Bhavani

Panda Ke Moorat Ve Baithi

 Tirath Mein Bhai Pani

Yogi Ke Yogin Ve Baithi

 Raja Ke Ghar Rani

Kahu Ke Hira Ve Baithi 

Kahu Ke Kodi Kani

Bhaktan Ke Bhaktin Veh Baithi

 Brahma Ke Brahmani

Kahe Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho

 Yeh Sab Akath Kahani.."

( Kabir)

This is how I understand this Nirguna Bhajan ...

( Maya as I understand,

remains the greatest illusory cheat ;

 With a sweet tongue ,

Spreading her arms 

welcoming all, 

she opens her inescapable trap.

Like a lotus at the feet of Vishnu, the sustainer ,

she sits to demonstrate abundance.

Like a worldly queen,

she sits near Shiva the destroyer.

Near the priest,

she sits like the idol to be worshipped.

And at pilgrimages ,

She appears taking the shape of sacred water.

For a Yogi ,

she appears as spiritual companion.

And for the King's household,

She appears as his queen.

For some she appears as precious diamond ,

And for some a useless penny .

For the worshippers,

She appears as the object of their worship.

For Brahma , the creator of this universe,she manifests herself as his consort.

Says Kabir 

"Listen this untold story ,

 you seekers of truth .)

FOR A GOOD DAY...
