"His life wastes away as he cries out, Mine, Mine!"

Bhagat Kabir’s several verses are quoted in Gurbani. In a few verses he advocates a very interesting manner how human’s deal with their Life. Blessed are those who have reached the stage where the mind and soul is in harmony to, appreciate, conduct and accept “being human is a blessing”.

Others will have to see sense in what Kabir ji said. “ Twelve years pass in childhood, and for another twenty years, he does not practice self-discipline and austerity. For another thirty years, he does not worship God in any way, and then, when he is old, he repents and regrets. His life wastes away as he cries out, " Mine, Mine ". The pool of his power has dried up. He makes a dam around the dried-up pool, and with his hands, he makes a fence around the harvested field. When the thief of Death comes, he quickly carries away what the fool had tried to preserve as his own. His feet and head and hands begin to tremble, and the tears flow copiously from his eyes. His tongue has not spoken the correct words, but now, he hopes to practice religion! If the Dear Lord shows His Mercy, one enshrines love for Him, and obtains the Profit of the Lord's Name. By Guru's Grace, he receives the wealth of the Lord's Name, which alone shall go with him, when he departs in the end. Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints - he shall not take any other wealth with him. When the summons comes from the King, the Lord of the Universe, the mortal departs, leaving behind his wealth and mansions. ” SGGS 479

As long as one claims Me, Mine, My he walks along carrying the load and continues to pay the fine, however once you are able to throw away that bundle the presence of the Guru makes you fearless and you distant yourself from wickedness and corruption.

Why act in egotism making many mistakes and later repent and regret. Try dedicating mind, body and intellect to the lord and sleep in peace.
