ભજો રે ભૈયા રામ ગોવિંદ હરી
bhajo re bhaiyā rām goviňd hari

જપ તપ સાધન કછુ નહિં લાગત, ખરચત નહિં ગઠરી ... ૧
jap tap sādhan kachhu nahiň lāgat, kharchat nahiā gathari … 1

સંતત સંપત સુખ કે કારણ, જાસે ભૂલ પરી ... ૨
saňtat sampat sukh ke kāran, jāse bhool pari … 2

કહત કબીર જા મુખ રામ નહિં, વો મુખ ધૂલ ભરી ... ૩
kahat kabir jā mukh rām nahiň, vo mukh dhool bhari … 3

English Translation (by AI):
This Kabir bhajan is about the simplicity of devotion. It highlights that remembering the Divine requires no expensive rituals or money. It warns that chasing fleeting material wealth causes us to forget our true purpose, and asserts that a life without spiritual focus remains empty and wasted. 

Chant the names, oh brother, of Ram, Govind, and Hari,
Invoke the Divine, and set your spirit free.

No complex rituals, penance, or tools do you require,
Not a single coin from your purse does this desire.

Chasing endless wealth, family ties, and fleeting pleasure,
You forgot the true, immortal, and ultimate treasure.

Says Kabir, the mouth that refuses the sacred name to say,
Is filled with nothing but worthless dust and decay.

Spiritual Essence

• The Simplicity of Bhakti (Stanza 1): Kabir bypasses complicated rituals, austere penances (Jap Tap), and expensive religious ceremonies. He highlights that true spirituality is completely free and internal. It requires no financial burden (Kharachat nahin gathari), making divine connection accessible to everyone, rich or poor.
• The Trap of Wordly Attachment (Stanza 2): Human beings easily lose their spiritual alignment because they get consumed by Santat (lineage/family) and Sampat (wealth). Kabir points out that chasing these temporary comforts causes the soul to forget its true divine source (Jāse bhool paree).
• The Worthlessness of Egoic Speech (Stanza 3): The metaphor of a mouth "filled with dust" (Dhool bharee) indicates speech that is wasted on gossip, ego, and worldly complaints. A life spent without acknowledging or vibrating with higher divine consciousness is considered spiritually barren and empty.

Practical Takebacks

• Keep Your Practices Simple: You do not need elaborate setups or hours of free time to practice mindfulness or devotion. True inner peace can be practiced anywhere, silently, without costing a dime.
• Audit Your Attachments: It is completely fine to enjoy family and financial success, but do not let them define your entire existence. Regularly step back to ensure your material goals are not completely overshadowing your mental and spiritual well-being.
• Watch Your Words: Be mindful of what comes out of your mouth. Avoid filling your speech with complaints, negativity, or harmful gossip, and instead speak words of truth, kindness, and gratitude.
