Saint Kabir's meditation experience

The following Shabad is by Bhagat Kabeer Ji in Siree Raag on Pannaa 92, is similar to what Guru Nanak experienced and what Eddie expalins in her near-death experience, that I have mention in my older blogs.

Siree Raag, Devotee Kabeer Jee:

acharaj eaek sunahu rae pa(n)ddeeaa ab kishh kehan n jaaee ||
Listen, O religious scholar: the One Lord alone is Wondrous; no one can describe Him.

sur nar gan ga(n)dhhrab jin mohae thribhavan maekhulee laaee ||1||
He fascinates the angels, the celestial singers and the heavenly musicians; he has strung the three worlds upon His Thread. ||1||

raajaa raam anehadh ki(n)guree baajai ||
The Unstruck Melody of the Sovereign Lord's Harp vibrates;

jaa kee dhisatt naadh liv laagai ||1|| rehaao ||
by His Glance of Grace, I was lovingly attuned to the Sound-current of the Naad. ||1||Pause||

bhaat(h)ee gagan si(n)n(g)iaa ar chu(n)n(g)iaa kanak kalas eik paaeiaa ||
The Tenth Gate of my crown chakra is the distilling fire, and the channels of the Ida and Pingala are the funnels, to pour in and empty out the golden vat.
Vat = A large vessel, especially one used for holding in an immature state, chemical preparations for dyeing, tanning or the like.


this mehi dhhaar chuai ath niramal ras mehi rasan chuaaeiaa ||2||

Into that vat, there trickles a gentle stream of the most sublime and pure essence of all distilled essences. ||2||

eaek j baath anoop banee hai pavan piaalaa saajiaa ||
Something wonderful has happened-the breath has become the cup.

theen bhavan mehi eaeko jogee kehahu kavan hai raajaa ||3||

In all the three worlds, such a Yogi is unique. What king can compare to him? ||3||

aisae giaan pragattiaa purakhotham kahu kabeer ra(n)g raathaa ||

This spiritual wisdom of God, the Supreme Soul, has illuminated my being. Says Kabeer, I am attuned to His Love.

aour dhunee sabh bharam bhulaanee man raam rasaaein maathaa ||4||3||

All the rest of the world is deluded by doubt, while my mind is intoxicated with the Sublime Essence of the Lord. ||4||3||
