Who ever received salvation without Ram’s name?
If by roaming around naked
you can find God,
then all the forest-animals
should have been saved.
Why go naked or wear skins
when you can’t see Ram in your own heart.
If by shaving your head
you gain spiritual fulfillment,
why aren’t all the sheep
saved?
If by holding back sperm
you acquire salvation, my friend,
why haven’t eunuchs achieved
that highest condition of the soul?
Kabir says,
“Listen, O men, my brothers,
who ever received salvation
without Ram’s name?”
Kabir, Raga Gauri, 4
