|| Satsang-2 ||
When a Sādhak (seeker of Truth) dives deep within with one pointed focus and explores deeper levels of the Consciousness, s(he) is likely to get divine wisdom uncommon to most of us mired deeply in the outer world. The certain Sādhak - "A"- whom I mentioned in the part 1 of this "Satsang" series, gave a refreshing import to one of the most popular Dohas of Kabeer, which supports the point I made at the start. People interested in spirituality are likely to enjoy this pearl of divine inner-worldly wisdom and enrich themselves.
The Kabeer doha goes like this:
चलती चक्की देख कर, दिया कबीरा रोय ।
दुई पाटन के बीचमें साबुत बचा न कोय ॥
(Chalati chakki dekh kar, diyā Kabeera roy |
Duee pātan ke beechme sābut bachā nā koy ॥ )
Common understanding (as far as I know of including my own) of this couplet will be that Kabeer is in tears seeing that most beings are slowly, surely & heart-wrenchingly crushed and destroyed in this Sansār/repetitive cycle of birth&death (Chakki) by her two Jaws/stones (Duee Pātan) which are Space & Time.
The above interpretation is quite correct and even revered Advaitic Saint Kabeer would have also possibly meant the same, however, the interpretation provided by "A" out of spontaneous flash of wisdom, penetrates into further deeper realms.

Who/What is God? HE is THAT who has no sense of OTHERNESS!
He sees everything & everyone as I. He sees himself alone. Therefore, He is LOVE, knows no fear because He sees no other.
God is Ekam (One). Sansār is Duee (Two/dual). I versus the Other. This constant friction between the I and Other of this Sansaar produces suffering. Thus Kabeer says that this Duee or Duality (I and Other) are like the two stones of a chakki that are crushing everyone here because it produces fear, conflict, anger etc. Seeing this Kabeer cries!
From this duee (duality) when we move to ekam (One) then we will see no one else except Universal 'I' / Atman and hence, we become free from the miserable duality of this Sansār.
