f there’s one man whose words continue to serve as a beacon of hope, of light generations after they were penned, it is Kabir Das, a 15th century Sufi poet & mystic.

According to the legend, Kabir chose to leave the world at the age of 120 at Magahar in Uttar Pradesh. There was a fight between his Hindu and Muslim followers afterwards over taking the possession of his body. When they lifted the cloth that covered his body all they found were some flowers, which they then divided between themselves. Such was the charm of this man.
In this particular series ‘Kabir Ke Dohe’, we revisit some of his much cherished couplets, interpret them and see how they’ve stood the test of time.
दुःख में सुमिरन सब करे, सुख में करै न कोय।
जो सुख में सुमिरन करे, दुःख काहे को होय ॥
Dukh me sumiran sab kare। Sukh mein kare na koye ॥
Jo sukh mein sumiran kare। Dukh kahe ko hoye ॥
Everyone remembers (God) in times of sorrow, none in times of joy. One who remembers (God) in times of joy, How could he ever have sorrow?
How often do we pray without putting forth a want we wish for God to fulfill? How often do we remember God after we’ve been blessed with what we wanted all this time?
Kabir says that such is the nature of humankind that whenever we are in distress or undergoing sorrow or need something, we look towards the sky and communicate with God. We silently pray to whoever is up there to vanquish all our troubles. But the moment the Almighty does that, neither our head turns up towards the sky nor our heart towards the entity that helped us heal, anymore.
But the poet urges us to bring him/her back into our hearts even during times of joy (and not just pain), to be grateful for what we have been blessed with. If we do so, why would any suffering come our way? For we’ve finally stopped using God for our means and are cherishing him/her in the right manner.
बड़ा हुआ तो क्या हुआ, जैसे पेड़ खजूर | पंथी को छाया नहीं, फल लागे अति दूर ||
Bada hua to kya hua | Jaise pedh khajoor ||
Panthi ko chhaya nahi | Phal laage ati door ||
So what if one is big (in status), like a tree of dates. A tree which doesn’t provide any shade. A tree whose fruits are too far to reach
