Kabir Das Doha

Bura jo dekhan main chala
Bura na milya koi,
Jo mann Khoja aapna
Mujhse bura na koi.



Roughly traslated this means:

This means that when I went to search for some one bad, I could not find them.

When I looked into my own heart, There was no one as bad as me.

We always try to find fault with other people, because of our ego, or our perception. They may be right in their own way or in their given situation, but since their behaviour is different from us, we dislike or criticize them. May be its time to look within our selves and find the real cause of the problem. May be we are wrong in the wrong. God has given us this life to be of service and help other people, and love all the people created by Him.

That is one of my favorite Dohas. In this materialistic and superficial world, we concentrate so much on the external that we forget that everything stems from inside. Our inside that is!

Thanks Vanmala and Red chili,

Blogging aboutt Kabir ji keeps me grounded (I hope). My dad had given me a book which has all the dohas, but the language is a bit difficult to understand and translate. will get them translated from my dad when i visit them in March.
