找錯師父

卡比爾說，毫無差錯的認知到這些，

你將發現虔誠相信一位真正上師與他者

其差異如此巨大，

你的頭只該頂禮真正的上師，

祂教導你正道的靈性規則。

三界之內的師父只會在耳際叮嚀；

而超越三界束縛之上的上師 是另外一種類型；

只有三界束縛之上的上師才能帶你回家鄉。

瞎了啊，那個徒弟是瞎子，

他的師父也瞎了；

瞎子遇到瞎子，

然後一起墜落井底(地獄之井)。

當貪婪的徒弟遇到了貪婪的師父，

將一起步入石造的船；

一起沉溺於輪迴之海。

卡比爾說，沒有究竟的上師，

徒弟也絕不能達到究竟。

貪婪的師父和他貪婪的信徒，

將一起在地獄之火中燒烤。

無法終止這世界的幻想，

無法終止無目的迷失 (在輪迴中) ，

這樣的師父是無用的。

能自在地  歡喜地 向你揭示道的秘密的上師，

才是唯一該去尋找的。

奴隸(不究竟的師父)遇到奴隸，

他們怎麼能獲得解脫呢？

而但侍奉於超越束縛的上師就不是奴隸，

一剎那間他將使你解脫完全自由。

離開虛假的師父，一刻也不能浪費，

因為從他那兒你永遠無法得到 道的秘密，

在他之下你將無止境的迷失。

The False Master

Know this, Kabir says ,

fully and without mistake,

You'll find a difference that is very great,

Between devotion for one guru and another.

The head should bow before the guru only,

Who teaches you the spiritual game of the Word.

The guru who whispers in the ears in the domain(of Kal);

The guru beyond the boundary of Kal is of another type; '

Tis only when thou greatest a guru from beyond the boundary,

That thou wilt reach thy home.

Blind ,blind is the disciple of that one,

Whose guru too is blind; The blind one meets the blind,

And both then into the well(of Hell).

When a greedy disciple comes across a greedy master,

Then both step into a boat that's made of stone;

And both are drowned in the ocean of transmigration.

Kabir ,I say that without a perfect Master,

The disciple also never can be perfect.

The greedy master and his greedy devotee

Will both be roasted in the fire of Hell.

The guru who does not end the illusion of this world.

And end thy aimless wandering (in transmigration) is useless.

Go only to that guru who will freely,

gladly Reveal to you the secret of the Word.

The slave (the imperfect master) meets the slave;

How can they then be freed?

But serve the boundless Master who is not a slave,

And in a moment he will set thee wholly free.

Leave a false master, wasting not a moment,

For thou will never get from him The secret of the Word,

And under him thou'lt wander endlessly.
