Maya Maha Thagnee | Kabir | Alaap - Songs from #Sadhguru Darshan | #soundsofisha

Referring playfully to Maya – the worldly illusion – as a mischievous woman, Kabir expresses the irony of it all through his unique style of word play: a story untold! माया महा ठगनी हम जानी।। Maya maha thaganee ham jaanee|| What a trickster, I have known Maya to be! तिरगुन फांस लिए कर डोले बोले मधुरे बानी।। Tiragun phaans liye kar dole bole madhure baanee|| Dancing around with a trap in her hands… Her words as sweet as honey! केसव के कमला वे बैठी शिव के भवन भवानी।। Kesav ke kamala ve baithee Shiv ke bhavan bhavaanee|| As real as Keshava’s Kamala, she sits As real as Shiva’s Bhavani, she see...ms! पंडा के मूरत वे बैठीं तीरथ में भई पानी।। Panda ke moorat ve baitheen teerath mein bhee paanee|| To the priest she is in his idol, To the pilgrim, in holy water योगी के योगन वे बैठी राजा के घर रानी।। Yogi ke yogan ve baithee raaja ke ghar raanee|| For a Yogi, she is a Yogini And for the king, the queen! काहू के हीरा वे बैठी काहू के कौड़ी कानी।। Kaahoo ke heera ve baithee kaahoo ke kaudee kaanee|| Some have seen her as a priceless diamond For some she is a mere penny! भगतन की भगतिन वे बैठी बृह्मा के बृह्माणी।। Bhagatan ki bhagatin ve baithee bramha ke brhmaanee|| As the object of his devotion, for a devotee… As his consort, for lord brahma himself! कहे कबीर सुनो भई साधो यह सब अकथ कहानी।। kahe kabeer suno bhee saadho yah sab akath kahaanee|| Listen, o seeker!
