  9. Silsilah Pir o Murshid Murid Khalifa

  10. Kabir’sNirguna Poetry Oh Companion That Abode Is Unmatched, Where My Complete Beloved Is. In that Place There Is No Happiness or Unhappiness, No Truth or Untruth Neither Sin Nor Virtue. There Is No Day or Night, No Moon or Sun, There Is Radiance Without Light. There Is No Knowledge or Meditation No Repetition of Mantra or Austerities, Neither Speech Coming From Vedas or Books. Doing, Not-Doing, Holding, Leaving All These Are All Lost Too In This Place. No Home, No Homeless, Neither Outside or Inside, Micro and Macrocosm Are Non-Existent. Five Elemental Constituents and the Trinity Are Both Not There Witnessing Un-struck Shabad Sound is Also Not There. No Root or Flower, Neither Branch or Seed, Without a Tree Fruits are Adorning, Primordial Om Sound, Breath-Synchronized Soham, This and That - All Are Absent, The Breath Too Unknown Where the Beloved Is There is Utterly Nothing Says Kabir I Have Come To Realize. Whoever Sees My Indicative Sign Will Accomplish the Goal of Liberation.

  18. In the presence of God the Prophet is chief Whose teachings have given us support in both worlds Say: La illah - Dwell in: il-Allah The Prophet’s khalifa is Ali, who is dear to him And whose disciples are our Pirs Say: La illah - Dwell in: il-Allah Allah, Muhammad and Ali Are our leaders whom we trust most And obey as slaves Say: La illah - Dwell in: il-Allah Our pir has taken our hands in his He has connected us with all his heart May he keep this connection forever Say: La illah - Dwell in: il-Allah
