ੴ

Aasaa:

With filth within the heart, even if one bathes at sacred places of pilgrimage, still, he shall not go to heaven.

Nothing is gained by trying to please others - the Lord cannot be fooled. ||1||

Worship the One Divine Lord.

The true cleansing bath is service to the Guru. ||1||Pause||

If salvation can be obtained by bathing in water, then what about the frog, which is always bathing in water?

As is the frog, so is that mortal; he is reincarnated, over and over again. ||2||

If the hard-hearted sinner dies in Benaares, he cannot escape hell.

And even if the Lord's Saint dies in the cursed land of Haramba, still, he saves all his family. ||3||

Where there is neither day nor night, and neither Vedas nor Shaastras, there, the Formless Lord abides.

Says Kabeer, meditate on Him, O mad-men of the world. ||4||4||37||
