Quote:
ਦਾਸੁ ਕਮੀਰੁ ਚੜ੍ਹਿਓ ਗੜ੍ਹ ਊਪਰਿ ਰਾਜੁ ਲੀਓ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ॥
ਦਾਸ ਕਬੀਰ ਕਿਲੇ ਦੇ ਉਪਰ ਚੜ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਕਦੇ ਨਾ ਨਾਸ ਹੋਣ ਵਾਲਾ (ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ) ਰਾਜ ਹਾਸਲ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ।
daas kameer chaṛio gaṛ oopar raaj leeo abinaasee.
Servant Kabir has climbed to the top of the fortress and have obtained the eternal, imperishable domain. -Bhagat Kabir, Guru Granth Sahib, 1162
Message: The spiritual growth ultimately leads one to the highest state where one is close to the Divine. It does not require big imaginative power to visualize the status of that state! It is the successful culmination of the journey on which we are launched from our birth. Reaching that state the soul is one with the Divine and as good as the Divine. So it has the power, attributes and characteristics, which are divine. It is also called the braham-gyani state or status.
However, it is impregnable while living under the sway of unnecessary attachment, arrogance, desire, jealousy and greed, etc. To reach and enjoy this state, we need to embrace traits such as love, reflection, wisdom, intuition, truth and contentment.
Etymology: Combination of abinaasee (imperishable, stable, eternal) + raaj (rule).
