O Pandit, all your talking is a lie
O Pandit, all your talking is a lie.
If by repeating Rama's name the world is saved, then by repeating " Sugar " the mouth is sweetened.
If by saying " Fire " one's feet are burned, by saying " Water " thirst is quenched.
If by saying " Food " hunger is satisfied, then can the world find safety so.
Living with men, a parrot cries " Hari, " yet it knows naught of Hari's splendour.
If ever it flies again to the forest, it will remember Hari no more.
Without sight, without touch, without feeling, merely taking the name, what is that?
If wealth came by but saying " Wealth " then none would remain in poverty.
Their real love is for the pleasures of Maya: they do but jest with the Bhagats of Hari.
Kabir says, Unless one sings the One Rama, he will go bound to the city of Jama.
