Gagan mein avaj ho rahi jhini
Pahile aye nad binduse, piche jamaya pani
Sab ghat puran pur rahya hai
Alakh purush nirbani
Vahanse aya pata likhaya
Trishna to une bujhai
Amrit chod chod vishay ko dhave
Ulati kas phasani
Gaganmandalmein gau biyani, bhipe dui jamaya
Makhan makhan santone khaya
Chhach jagat baparani
Bin dharati ek mandal dise
Bin sarovaraju pani
Gaganmandalmein ho ujiyala
Bole gurumukh bani
Oham, soham baja baje
Trikuti dham suhani
Ida, pingala, sukhaman nari
Sun dhaja phaharani
Kahe kabira suno bhai sadho
Jai agan ki bani
Dinbhar re jo najar bhar dekhe
Ajar Amar ho nishani,
Ho ji nishani ho ji
Kabir speaks about the process of Yogsadhana in this composition. He has used the term Gagan – the skies – to describe the body. The skies are full of music of salvation. It is coming from shunya or nothing from where the soul has come. The soul gets a name here in this world and then forgets its origins and gets trapped with the illusions of this world. Scholars do not get trapped by the five senses. They keep learning through the Yogsadhana and thus they get the cream of life and the rest have to remain satisfied with the residual milk (here Kabir has used the terms of butter and buttermilk). Once the ascetic reaches the pinnacle of soul searching it is all pure bliss – bliss of knowledge, says Kabir.
