Friend, my heart now rejoices in renunciation. <br /> <br />The bliss I've attained chanting the Lord's Name <br />through riches it can never be gained. <br />I go on with my poor living, not minding <br />what the people have to say- <br />in praise or in denunciation. <br /> <br />My dwelling is in the city of His Love, <br />I seek solace in patient suffering. <br />A staff and a bowl in my hands, I roam about <br />I have my fiefdom in every direction. <br /> <br />O friend, this body will finally end in dust, <br />then why with pride are you puffed? <br /> <br />Says Kabir, listen O wise one, <br />the Lord is to be found in contentment.<br /><br />Sunil Uniyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-rejoice-in-renunciation-a-bhajan-of-kabir/
