सतगुरु कबीर साहेब के तीस मणि।

source :  tisaYantra

1. prem jagawai viraha ko, viraha jagawai  piv; piv jagawai jiw ko, vahi jiw vahi piw

प्रेम जगावै विरहा को , विरह जगावै पीव ;

पीव जगावे जीव को ,वही  जीव वही पीव।

  Love bestirs the heart of the separated lover for God, and God responds by enlightening him. He then realizes the soul and God are one

2. puja guru ki kijiye, sab puja jihi manhi; jab jal sinche mul taru, sakha patra aghai

 Worship your spiritual master as it embodies all other worships; when you water the tree's roots, the branches and leaves are quenched

3. parkho dwara shabda ka, jo guru kahai bichar; bina shabda kachhu na milai, dekho nain ughar

 Examine the purpose of the Word thoughtfully imparted by your master; with open eyes realize nothing can be gained without the word

4. nam milawai rup ko, jo jan khoji hoi; jab waha rup hridai base, kshuddha rahe na koi

 Whoever seeks, finds that God is known through His Name; when that form of God(Name) is in the  heart, no other hunger remains

5. kariye nit satsang ko, badha sakal mitai; aisa owsar na mile, durlabh nar tan pai

 Always partake in satsangs and remove all worldly obstacles; you may not have this opportunity again, as human birth is difficult to obtain

6. hoi rahe jab das yaha, tab sukh pawai ant; dekh riti prahalad ki, nirkho sab men kant

 Be a humble servant of God and you'll gain happiness; note the devotion of Prahalad and, like him, see God in everyone's heart

7. mitha sab se boliye, sukh upje chahu or; basikaran yaha mantra hai, tajiye bachan kathor

 Speak sweetly with everyone and happiness will spring up all around; it is the charm which wins the hearts of others; give up harsh words

8. mano sab kuchh sanch hai, jo jako vyowhar; janam maran dou bana, thir hvai dekhu vichar

 Accept as truth what people do in their particular circumstances; you accept birth and death as truth; think this over carefully

9. jhagra nitahi barayiye, jhagra buri balai; dukh upje chinta dahe, jhagra men ghar jai

 Always avoid quarrel as it produces evil consequences; it creates suffering, consumes you with worries, and destroys your home

10. gam saman bhojan nahin, jo koi gam ko khai; ambarish gam khayiya, durvasa bilalai

 No food is equal to grief if you know how to swallow it; the sage Ambarish swallowed his grief, and Durvasa was humbled

11. tamas pi sital bhaya, phir kachhu rahi na pyas; bhrigumuni mare lat so, prabhu pad gahi jimi das

 Drink (subdue) anger and be at peace; no mental turmoil will remain; Bhrigumuni kicked Lord Vishnu who, as a servant, massaged his foot with love

12. apne apne dharm men, sab dridh hvai sab kal; nij dharm jo apan gaho, sahaje bhayo nihal

 Always be strong and steadfast in your religion; if you sincerely follow your religion, your life will be easy and pleasantly rewarding

13. tyag ju aisa kijiye, sab kuchh ekai bar; sab prabhu ka mera nahin, nischai kiya bichar

 Renounce in such a way that all are renounced at once; realize that everything is God's and "not mine"; this is perfect thinking

14. chhoda jab abhiman ko, sukhi bhaya tab jiw; bhawai koi kachhu kahai, mere hiya nij piw

When you abandon pride your life becomes happy; no matter what others say of you, you realize that Goddwells in your heart

15. sukh pawai guru dhyan te, thir bhaya man mor; nirkho apa saban men, kewal nand kishor

 Meditation on God rewards you with bliss and a tranquil mind; see yourself in all beings and in all beings see only God

16. dekho sabmen ram hai, ekahi ras bharpur; jaise ukh te sab bana, chini sakkar gur

 See God in all beings; as one essence He is present in all forms; its like sugarcane which produces refined and raw sugar and molasses

17. bharm mita tab janiye, achraj lagai na koi; yaha lila ram ki, nirkho apa khoi

 Know that doubts are removed when you are surprised by nothing; its all the Lord's play; realize it by merging in Him

18. lakhiye apne rup ko, thir bhaya sab ang; kahan sunan kachhu na rahi, jyon ka tyon hai sang

 Realize your own form and every part of you will be steadfast; no preaching or listening remains, as God and the soul are the same

19. suniye gun ki varta, owgun lije nahin; hans chhir ko gahat hai, nir tyagiso jahin

 Listen to the good qualities of others, shunning their evils; do as the fabled swan that drinks nutritious  milk, avoiding non-nutritious water

20. sadhe indriya prabal ko, jihite uthe upadh; man raja bahakawate, pancho bade asadh

 Control the all-powerful senses, the cause of all problems; the five senses are unruly and cunningly fool the controlling mind

 Give some food to the hungry according to your ability; then speak to him sweetly recognizing his  soul as your own

23. punya bada upkar hai, sabke upar bhakh; jiw daya chit rakhiye, ved puran hai sakh

 The welfare of others is your greatest duty, the highest of all virtues; have mercy for all beings even as taught in the vedas and puranas

24. hinsa hin bad pap hai, tihi saman nahi koi, lekha mange dharmrai jab, tab sab nowbat hoi

 Violence is the greatest evil, unmatched by others; when Dharamrai checks the record, the violent will receive the severest punishment

25. khushboi jaski bhali, phail rahi chahu or; maliyagiri sugandh hai, pragat sabai jag shor

 The fragrance of fame is the best as it spreads all around; the Malyagiri mountain's fame is  widespread for its sandalwood fragrance

26. apyash men durgandh hai, niko lagai na koi; jaise mal ke nika tmen, baithi sakai na koi

 Disgrace has a very bad smell, and no one likes it; its like the smell of feces where nobody likes to  sit

27. dhir buddhi tab janiye, samujahi ki rit; unke owgun apme, kabahun na lawai mit

 Know him to be patient and wise who understands, and is not disturbed by, people's ways; their evil  ways do not affect him

28. man thahara tab janiye, ansujh sabai sujhai; jyon andhiyar bhavan men, dipak bari dekhai

 Know the steadfast mind when it knows previously unknown things; its like a lamp in the dark room; it makes everything visible

29. howai honi hoi so, honhar so hoi; ramchandra ban ko gaye, sukh achhat dukh hoi

29. What is destined to happen will happen, and cannot be stopped; Ramchandra, banished to the forest, endured suffering instead of comfort

30. jo yaha tattva bichar ke, rakhe hiya men soi; so prani sukh ko lahai, dukh na darsai koi

 He who carefully considers Reality and keeps it in his heart, will enjoy eternal bliss, and gain freedom from all sorrows
