Kushal jo puchho asal ki,
aasha lagi hoye
Nam bihuna jag mua,
kushal kahan te hoye.

If you really ask for wellbeing, hope and attachment is always binding.
The world is dying without the name of God, how then is wellbeing possible.

Kabir says – That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.

Your wellbeing is possible only if your life is the foundation of Celebration – not renunciation but rejoicing. Rejoice in all the beauties, all the joys, all that life offers, because this whole life is a gift of God.

To Kabir, life and God are synonymous. In fact, life is a far better word than the word “God.” It is only a philosophical term, while life is real, existential. The word “God” exists only in scriptures. It is a word, a mere word. Life is within you and without you – in the trees, in the clouds, in the stars. This whole existence is a dance of life.

Love life. Live your life totally, be drunk with the divine through life. Kabir is in tremendous love with life, hence he teaches celebration. Everything has to be celebrated; everything has to be lived, loved. To me nothing is mundane and nothing is sacred. All is sacred, from the lowest rung of the ladder to the highest rung. It is the same ladder: from the body to the soul, from the physical to the spiritual, from sex to samadhi – everything is divine!
