The mind’s a shortchanging Huckster

Source (Verse 93)


Translation (Source)
The mind’s a shortchanging Huckster with a crafty Wife and five Scoundrel children.
It won’t change its ways.
The mind’s a knot, says Kabir, Not easy to untie.

      • kabira bigrayo Ram duhai
      • kahe kabir aadha ghat bole
      • Teerath bada ki hari ka das?
      • Like a sharp arrow Is the love of Rama.
      • Good company’s all I seek.
      • The gardener’s wife
      • His death in Benares
      • Is there a paradise anyway?
      • a walking Mosque yourself
      • the four-armed god
      • If parroting the name Of Rama brought salvation
      • To tonsured monks and dreadlocked Rastas,
      • If going naked Brought liberation
      • I live in Fearlessburg
      • The body’s a pot And the mind is the cream
      • Brother, The storm of wisdom has hit us
      • All the way to heaven
      • When greed hits you like a wave
      • The mind’s a shortchanging Huckster
      • कैसें नगर करौ कुटवारी
      • है कोई गुरु ग्यांनीं जगत महिं
      • एक अचम्भौ देखा रे भाई
