SACRIFICES OF TRUE DEVOTEES
"Karavath bhalaa n karavatt thaeree.
I would rather be cut apart by a saw, than have You turn Your back on me."
This is a beautiful Shabad by Bhagat Kabeer Ji. Bhagat Ji utters this shabad in longing and yearning for Vaheguroo's Darshan (vision).
When one becomes very close to Vaheguroo and remembers them with every breath, they struggle to live in this world without him, hence utter the following words. "Karavath bhalaa n karavatt thaeree." They would rather suffer under the pain of a saw ripping them apart, rather than the name of God being departed from their breath.
One wants to be hugged and embraced by Vaheguroo very tightly. They don't want Vaheguroo Ji to leave them for even a second. The love is too powerful and the energy is of that which can not be described. And that's when Bhagat Ji Says, "laag galae sun binathee maeree."
Bhagat Ji keeps begging Vaheguroo Ji to turn their face towards him so he can rejoice in their sweet love. Bhagat Ji then goes on to question Vaheguroo saying, "Why have you turned your back on me, why have you hurt me like this?"
When one yearns for Vaheguroo's Darshan and they continue trying but are not reaping the rewards and not seeing what they wish for, one becomes very sad and begins to question their beloved, as they would question a very close friend.
But the love remains very strong, as the beautiful taste of the shabad won't let one turn their face away from Vaheguroo Ji. This is when Bhagat Ji Says, "jo than cheerehi a(n)g n moro ||
pi(n)dd parai tho preeth n thoro||
ham thum beech bhaeiou nehee koee||." No one can come between Vaheguroo and the devotee of God says Bhagat Ji.
Bhagat Kabeer Ji goes on to say, "you are the husband and I am your soul bride. Listen O people of the world, I place no reliance on you. Vaheguroo Ji will come to meet me very soon. He never lets down his devotees."
Bhagat Kabeer Ji Says, "Ho vaaree mukh faer piaarae ||
I am a sacrifice to You - please, turn Your face to me, O Beloved Lord.
Jo than cheerehi a(n)g n moro ||
Even if You cut my body apart, I shall not pull my limbs away from You."
Vaheguroo!
