One of Saint Kabir’s Dohe -
Jab Mein Tha Tab Hari Nahin‚ Jab Hari Hai Mein Nahin
Sab Andhiyara Mit Gaya‚ Jab Deepak Dekhya Mahin
When “I” was then Hari* was not, Now Hari “is” and “I” am not
All the darkness (illusions) mitigated, When I saw the light (illumination) within.
*Hari – Another name or expression for God. Derived from ‘Har’ which means ‘everything’.

There are many such good good wordings. I have been listening to many Kirtans(Bhajans) lately. There are some that i love. There is a Saying by Sant Ravi Das.
It goes like this.
Uche Mandir sundar Naari, Ram Naam bin Bazi Hari.
(It mean : You might have a beautiful girl by your side and might go to all big temples. But until you Pray yourself and think about God. You are lost in life.)
There is another one. I dont know who said this. Its from Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji
Saach Kaheo Sune Laaho Sabhi, Jin Prem Kiyo Tin He Prabh Paayo.
(It means : I am telling truth listen to me. People who love can only get god. Or we can get god through love.)
You would love them if you could understand what I wrote in punjabi. Enjoy.
