कबीर जी की सीख – जिसने सब कुछ दिया, उसका गुणगान करो
Once, Kabeer Ji was travelling towards Kashi Varanasi. During his journey, he heard the voices of a group of women walking ahead of him.
Among them was a newly married woman who was happily praising her husband and mother-in-law for giving her a precious gift—a beautiful gold nathni (nose pin).
She was telling her friends again and again:
“My husband and my mother-in-law gifted me this beautiful gold nathni. They have given me such a precious gift.”
She continued praising her husband and his family for the gift.
Kabeer Ji was walking behind the group and listening to their conversation. After hearing her praise repeatedly, Kabeer Ji increased his pace and caught up with the group.
Kabeer Ji was known for expressing his spiritual thoughts through poetry, filled with immense love for God.
He gently asked the newly married woman:
“Sister, and all of you whom I consider like my daughters, I have been listening to you praising your husband and his family again and again for giving you this precious gold nathni.
“Tell me one thing. Have you ever thought about the One who made you capable of wearing this nose pin? He gave you the nose on which you are wearing it.
“Didi, have you ever praised God with the same love and happiness that you are showing while praising those who gave you this gift?”
We know how to praise our loved ones when they give us gifts. We remember their kindness and repeatedly speak about what they have given us.
But we often forget to praise the Lord, who has given us everything.
He gave us this beautiful face, this nose, this body, our breath, and this precious human life.
Kabeer Ji expressed this thought beautifully in poetry:
“Nathni Deeni Yaar Neh — Chintan Barum Baar,
Naak Diya Kartar Neh — Usko Diya Visaar.”
In this illusionary world, we become so busy praising people, their gifts, and their deeds that we forget the One who has given us everything.
We remember the giver of a small gift, but forget the greatest Giver of all—the Lord Himself.
Kabeer Ji reminds us to turn our attention towards God and praise the One who gave us this life, this body, and everything we have.

The Master Who Conquered His Mind || मन को वश में करने वाले सद्गुरु कबीर जी
Great messengers of God are powerful enough to command their minds. They do not live their lives by following their minds; instead, they make their minds follow them.
Once, while Kabir Ji was delivering a spiritual lecture, he suddenly began hitting himself on the face and head with his own footwear. The people sitting there were astonished and stunned to witness such unusual behaviour.
Kabir Ji, the great messenger of God and a divine power, was someone whose mind feared him. Similarly, the minds of great messengers of God, such as Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj, remained under their command. However, we ordinary human beings often live in fear of our own minds.
A Seth named Dharma Das knew that this unusual act of Kabir Ji was part of His divine Leela. Therefore, he sat quietly and continued observing everything.
After a while, Kabir Ji immediately resumed His spiritual lecture.
Later, during the Satsang, Kabir Ji revealed:
"While I was delivering the Satsang, my mind suddenly desired to eat jalebi.
I immediately took off my footwear and started hitting my mind, saying, 'You are sitting in the Satsang of God, yet you desire to eat jalebi!'
I have hit my mind so much today that from now onwards, it will never dare to ask for jalebi again!"
“We must train our minds to follow our will, not live according to their wishes”.
