Abode Of The Beloved By: Kabir



Oh Companion That Abode Is Unmatched, 
Where My Complete Beloved Is. 

In that Place There Is No Happiness or Unhappiness, 
No Truth or Untruth 
Neither Sin Nor Virtue. 
There Is No Day or Night, No Moon or Sun, 
There Is Radiance Without Light. 

There Is No Knowledge or Meditation 
No Repetition of Mantra or Austerities, 
Neither Speech Coming From Vedas or Books. 
Doing, Not-Doing, Holding, Leaving 
All These Are All Lost Too In This Place. 

No Home, No Homeless, Neither Outside or Inside, 
Micro and Macrocosm Are Non-Existent. 
Five Elemental Constituents and the Trinity Are Both Not There 
Witnessing Un-struck Shabad Sound is Also Not There. 

No Root or Flower, Neither Branch or Seed, 
Without a Tree Fruits are Adorning, 
Primordial Om Sound, Breath-Synchronized Soham, 
This and That - All Are Absent, The Breath Too Unknown 

Where the Beloved Is There is Utterly Nothing 
Says Kabir I Have Come To Realize. 
Whoever Sees My Indicative Sign 
Will Accomplish the Goal of Liberation.

The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego. In our brother’s mind, he was good.  On the 14th of December, 2016,  she left him without a word. He called her, texted her, but she did not reply and he continued with his life and he dated no one else. Two months later, his brother had an accident and needed blood. Of course, he ...
