BHAGAT KABIR JI GRANTH

[TROUBLED]

Hi

I hear there is a bhagat kabir ji granth all by him that is used by his devootes. Any one heard of it, its called something on the lines of 'rattan sagar" consists of approx. 1400 pages. If u know any thing about it please share you knowledge here.

Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for,

it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that

does all the work.

Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.

Friend, hope for the Guest while you are alive.

Jump into experience while you are alive!

think.....and think.....while you are alive.

What you call 'salvation' belongs to the time before

death.

If you don't break your ropes while you're alive,

do you think

ghosts will do it after?

The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic

just because the body is rotten --

that is all fantasy.

What is found now is found then.

The Guest is inside you, and also inside me;

you know the sprout is hidden inside the seed.

We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.

Let your arrogance go, and look around inside.

The blue sky opens out farther and farther,

the daily sense of failure goes away,

the damage I have done to myself fades,

a million suns come forward with Light,

when I sit firmly in that world.

I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken,

inside "love" there is more joy than we know of,

rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds,

there are whole rivers of Light.

The universe is shot through in all parts by a single

sort of love.

What you wanted to do tomorrow, do it today.

What you wanted to do today, do it now.

If the world ends in a moment,

when are you going to get to what is important to you?

When I was born,

The world laughed and I weeped.

May I do such deeds that when its time to go again,

I laugh and the world weeps.

[Amrit1972]

It is called 'Beejak' (also 'Kabeer Beejak').

[tSingh]

Not necessarily.

The Beejak is popular with Kabirpanthis in eastern india. The Kabir Granthavali is the compilation used in Rajasthani Kabirpanthis (hence used by Dadupanthis also).

Along with Sri Guru Granth Sahib these three make up the primary sources of Kabir bani. Note should be made that between the three are common verses. There are also differences.

There are other bhagat bani compilations like Gopal Das' granth which contains many popular bhagat saloks, extending it to include Gorakhnath and Dadu Dyal.
