चदरिया झीनी रे झीनी-----संत कबीर

चदरिया झीनी रे झीनी, रे राम नाम रस भीनी

अष्ट कमल का चरखा बनाया, पांच तत्त्व की पूनी

नौ दस मॉस बुनन को लागे, मूरख मैली कीनी

जब मोरी चादर बन घर आई, रंग रेज को दिनी
ऐसा रंग रंगा रंगरे ने, लालो लाल कर दिनी

ध्रुव प्रह्लाद सुदामा ने ओढी, शुकदेव ने निर्मल किन्ही

दास कबीर ने ऐसी ओढी, ज्यों की त्यों धर दिनी

MY TRANSLATION

(कबीराने शरीराला चादरीची उपमा दिली आहे)

चादर तलम धाग्यात विणलेली; रामनामाच्या रंगात भिजवलेली

आठ पाकळ्या असलेल्या कमळाचा चरखा बनविला ; त्यावर पाच तत्वांचा धागा तयार केला

नऊ दहा महिने विणायला लागले ;  मूर्ख ती मळवून टाकतात  !

जेव्हा माझी चादर घरी आली ; रंग द्यायला गुरूकडे पाठवली

रंगार्याने असे रंग दिले ; ती पूर्णपणे लाल (चमकदार ; इतरांत उठून दिसणारी) झाली!

ध्रुव प्रह्लाद आणि सुदाम्याने ती वापरली ; शुकदेवाने ती पवित्र केली

कबीराने ती अश्या प्रकारे वापरली ; त्याच्या कडे आल्यानंतर जशी होती ;तशीच राहिली !

  FROM WEB

 Kabir here talks about body, or human experience and how to utilize it. He talks about how he lived in the body, how other notable predecessors lived and how does an average man live.

---

Body is like finely woven cloth and is permeated by the raam naam (ra+ma rechek purak (breath))

Eight-petaled lotus was used as a spinning wheel, and the 5 elements as yarn

took 9-10 months to knit it, Oh fool you soiled it!

When I got my sheet, I gave it to person who dyes sheet(guru).

It was dyed such, totally red in color

Dhruv prahlad and sudama wore it, Shukdev made it pure.

das kabeer wore it such, he left it as it is(as he got it)

Notes:

Body is a sheet. You can experience cloth but you arent cloth. Compare with Gita. वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥२- २२॥ kabir urges us to realize body is permeated by ra and ma (in and out going breath) anaapshanti, which is permeating . breath is the link which makes body experience possible.(raam naam), hence re raam naam ras bhini chadariya

Eight lotuses, eight latent tendencies of body(survival,threat,accumulation,attention,domination ,suppression,discontentment,) correlate with eight energy centres within body(7+1(bindu).

Notice how 5 elements manifest as body and in that we create these tendencies compare with samkhya of kapila.
This sheath takes involves 9-10 lunar cycles around earth, time as celestial movement. celestial connection with sheath.
You soiled it, you lost awareness :)


Kabir now talks about his own body (mori chadar what happened with his sheet). When kabir took body, he let his guru work on it. His guru dyed it( permanent transformation of body based experiences :-) ) and made it red. (red is the color of root).

Kabir now talks about how other noted people  who wore it, dhruv, prahlad sudama(all bhaktas), and shukdev(son of vyasa) and purified it (lived with awareness).
How did Kabir wear it? Kabir, dint let it get soiled. He maintained the new born's awareness all his life.
