Translation
ReplyDeleteUntainted Ram is Unmatched,
Manifesting the Entire Tainted (Reality)
Tainted are the Womb (of Creation) and the Om,
The Tainted Demands All Expansiveness
Tainted are Brahma, Shankra and Indra,
Tainted is the Govinda along with his Gopis
Tainted are the Spoken Words and Listening,
Tainted has Created Innumerable Distinctions
Tainted are Knowledge, the Daily Prayers and the Ancient Scriptures,
Tainted is that Questioning and Reasoning Knowledge
Tainted is the Leaf and Tainted are the Enlightened Beings,
Tainted is the Served and Tainted is the Servant
Tainted is the Singer and the Dancer,
The Tainted Displays Endless Forms
Where is the Limit, up to Which Tainted has Taken Hold?
Even in Philanthropy, Purity, Austerities and
Places of Pilgrimage, Tainted is Victorious
Says Kabir Only a Very Rare, Exceptional One Awakens,
Tainted has Left Endless Stains
Explanation
ReplyDeleteIn this song, Kabir, instructing his highest teaching, tells us how rare it is for anybody to reach a state of untainted, full Self-realization. Anything short of this state of full realization Kabir labels as Tainted. Since this state of Self-realization is beyond words, Kabir uses the method of negation (of the non-real) to guide us.
He unequivocally explains that the whole of creation - small leaves to Devatas such as Brahma, Shankar, Indra and Govinda - are all caught in the tight grasp of the state of non-realization. He even goes on to say that the study of scriptures, acts of philanthropy, austerities, and visits to places of pilgrimage all are instances where the tainted duality has been victorious. In his final signature note, Kabir declares that everywhere we look, we see only the tainted reality. Only an extremely exceptional person awakens and reaches the state of untainted complete and irreversible realization.
