1The fifty-two letters have been joined together.

2But people cannot recognize the One Word of God.

3Kabeer speaks the Shabad, the Word of Truth.

4One who is a Pandit, a religious scholar, must remain fearless.

5It is the business of the scholarly person to join letters.

6The spiritual person contemplates the essence of reality.

7According to the wisdom within the mind,

8says Kabeer, so does one come to understand. ||45||

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Raag Gauree, T'hitee ~ The Lunar Days Of Kabeer Jee:

11Shalok:

12There are fifteen lunar days, and seven days of the week.

13Says Kabeer, it is neither here nor there.

14When the Siddhas and seekers come to know the Lord's mystery,

15they themselves become the Creator; they themselves become the Divine Lord. ||1||

16T'hitee:

17On the day of the new moon, give up your hopes.

18Remember the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

19You shall attain the Gate of Liberation while yet alive.

20You shall come to know the Shabad, the Word of the Fearless Lord, and the essence of your own inner being. ||1||

21One who enshrines love for the Lotus Feet of the Lord of the Universe

22- by the Grace of the Saints, her mind becomes pure; night and day, she remains awake and aware, singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. ||1||Pause||

23On the first day of the lunar cycle, contemplate the Beloved Lord.

24He is playing within the heart; He has no body - He is Infinite.

25The pain of death never consumes that person

26who remains absorbed in the Primal Lord God. ||2||

27On the second day of the lunar cycle, know that there are two beings within the fiber of the body.

28Maya and God are blended with everything.

29God does not increase or decrease.

30He is unknowable and immaculate; He does not change. ||3||

31On the third day of the lunar cycle, one who maintains his equilibrium amidst the three modes

32finds the source of ecstasy and the highest status.

33In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, faith wells up.

34Outwardly, and deep within, God's Light is always radiant. ||4||

35On the fourth day of the lunar cycle, restrain your fickle mind,

36and do not ever associate with sexual desire or anger.

37On land and sea, He Himself is in Himself.

38He Himself meditates and chants His Chant. ||5||

39On the fifth day of the lunar cycle, the five elements expand outward.

40Men are occupied in the pursuit of gold and women.

41How rare are those who drink in the pure essence of the Lord's Love.

42They shall never again suffer the pains of old age and death. ||6||

43On the sixth day of the lunar cycle, the six chakras run in six directions.

44Without enlightenment, the body does not remain steady.

45So erase your duality and hold tight to forgiveness,

46and you will not have to endure the torture of karma or religious rituals. ||7||

47On the seventh day of the lunar cycle, know the Word as True,

48and you shall be accepted by the Lord, the Supreme Soul.

49Your doubts shall be eradicated, and your pains eliminated,

50and in the ocean of the celestial void, you shall find peace. ||8||

51On the eighth day of the lunar cycle, the body is made of the eight ingredients.

52Within it is the Unknowable Lord, the King of the supreme treasure.

53The Guru, who knows this spiritual wisdom, reveals the secret of this mystery.

54Turning away from the world, He abides in the Unbreakable and Impenetrable Lord. ||9||

55On the ninth day of the lunar cycle, discipline the nine gates of the body.

56Keep your pulsating desires restrained.

57Forget all your greed and emotional attachment;
