Song of the week ending 09, May 2008

Guru kripa anjan paayo mere bhaayi
Raam bina kuch dekhat naahi
Raam bina kuch jaanat naahi

The Guru's grace is being apprehended by my eyes, dear brother!
Because of that I don't see anything apart from Rama
Because of that I don't know anything apart from Rama

Anthar raama bahar raama
Jahaan dekho vahaan sabhi raama hi raama

Inside is Rama, Outside is Rama
Wherever I see, Rama alone is present there

Jaagat raama sovat raama
Sapan mein dekhat raama hi raama

While waking I see Rama, while sleeping I see Rama
In dream as well I see Rama alone

Kehte kabir anubhava neekha
Jahaan dekho vahaan sabhi raama hi raama

Kabir says that this experience is beautiful
Because wherever I see, Rama alone is present there

This is a very beautiful song on Rama set in Raga Brindavani Sarang. Here the poet speaks about Rama pervading everything which is the experience of a realized saint. The lyrics are simple yet have the deepest concept of Vedanta in them. The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful singing as am not a singer.
