Bhajans from Khatu
Here is the truth of true fortune.
Saints and great beings have come and gone, like Kabīr Sāhib placing a foot on a disciple’s head to remind of mortality. Their words instruct the mind on right action. A fortunate person is one who experiences the saint’s darśan and satsaṅg. There is one great fortunate person among many. Worldly life is filled with evil; give it the name Rāma. True wealth is the jewel of the Name, the inexhaustible wealth of the mind. Material possessions are impermanent like water. Happiness and sorrow are entirely self-created. The mind mistakes comforts for happiness, but a mahāpuruṣa knows real happiness lies beyond. Three karmas bind beings: pralabdh, sanchit, and kriyamāṇ. Subh and asubh karmas must be understood; asubh karma is removed by wisdom. The Sadguru is compared to a lotus and a bumblebee. The bumblebee takes the lotus fragrance and becomes absorbed, never leaving. Without the guru, none can cross the ocean of existence. Wisdom comes from Gurujī. Glorify Sadgurūjī, for through him one attains liberation.
"Gurūṁsa binā kaun pare mujal pāve?"
"In the darśan of Gurudevjī, I have obtained the jewel of the Name, the wealth."
