Kabir Das DOHE 

Chalti Chakki Dekh Kar, Diya Kabira Roye
Dui Paatan Ke Beech Mein,Sabit Bacha Na Koye 

Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye
Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye 

Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ub
Pal Mein Pralaya Hoyegi, Bahuri Karoge Kub 

Aisee Vani Boliye, Mun Ka Aapa Khoye
Apna Tan Sheetal Kare, Auran Ko Sukh Hoye 

Sai Baba's Teachings

 1. his teachings are guiding his devotees to the path of salvation. People areblessed who follow          his teachings
 2. Among the teachings of Sai Baba of  Shirdi there are the cardinal principle of Sai Path called         'Shraddha' and Saburi'. 
 3. 'Saburi'; means patience and perseverance. Saburi is a quality needed through out the path to       reach the goal. This quality must be ingrained in a seeker from day one, least  he looses his         stride and leaves the path  half way
 4. For Sai Baba it was not the purity of the body but inner purity that mattered. No  amount of             physical and external cleansing would serve any purpose if  the man remained impure in mind       and heart.
 5. Himself an epitome of compassion and love, Sai Baba taught compassion among his disciples.     Baba often told His devotees,'Never turn away anybody from your door, be it a human being or       animal'. 
6. Explaining the meaning of life He would refer to Udi and taught that like Udi all the visible               phenomena in  the world are transient. Through this example Sai  Baba wished to make his           devotees understand the sense of discrimination between the unreal and the real. Udi taught the     devotees discrimination or vivek
7. Sai Baba would demand 'Dakshina' or alms from those who visited him. This explained the            sense of non-attachment to worldly things. Hence Dakshina taught the devotees non-                    attachment or Vairagya.

Sayings Of Kabir Das

 
1. The life is passed in turning the beads, but the darkness of the heart is not destroyed. Leave          the turning of beads by the hand, but turn the beads of your mind.
 2. He alone is the hero who has all  the five senses at his command. He who has no such                  control never approaches the Lord.
 3. Have no faith in this perishable body. Remember the Lord by all your breaths; that is the only        way to salvation.
 4. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today, nor till the evening what you can do this very      moment; for you know not when death may overtake you, upsetting all your plans.
  5. A dumb man, having tasted sugar, cannot express its taste. Even so, the experience of Self-            realisation cannot be expressed.
