Summary of Gyan Sthiti Bodh
Kabir Sagar's 26th chapter, Gyan Sthiti Bodh, is found on page 77. There is nothing distinctively new in this chapter. The concepts elaborated in Gyan Prakash Bodh and Mukti Bodh have been covered in detail. However, Gyan Sthiti Bodh contains a special description of Satpurush’s form on page 83. It explicitly describes the Supreme God as having a human-like (naraakar) form, with hands, feet, nose, ears, head, and forehead, highlighting the divine beauty of each feature. Satpurush is adorned with a garland of flowers. Refer to the divine verses on page 83 of Gyan Sthiti Bodh:
Satpurush has a Human-like (Naraakar) Form
Sakhi: Ab main kahab tohi son chit karo vichar.
Kahai Kabir Parush ko, yahi roop nij saar.
Couplet
Kahai Kabir suno Dharmdasa. Agramool bideh parkaasha.
Ichchha Purush kaaya bandhaana. Leelagar deep keenh asthaana.
Sujan hans jan keenh vishraama. Dharai dhyaan Purushkar naama.
Tahva Purush keenh asthaana. Asthal roopko kahon thikaana.
Kanthamaal puhupan ki raaje. Sir Prabhu ke chatra viraaje.
Haath amee ankoor bichaari. Jagar magar shobha ujiyaari.
Upma kaakahi barnon bhaai. Koti bhaanu so jaayen ljaai.
Bhalaroop barnan kahi kaisa. Bees sahastra bhaanu lakhi jaisa.
Shravan (kaan) shaabha dehu bataai. Ravi sahastra tahaan rahe ljaai.
Chakshu ameekar chitvan kaisi. Sudha sindhu laaren uth jaisi.
Naasa greeva kanth kapola. Shobha inki aai atola.
Mukhaarvind aravindahi jaani. Uday koti surajki khaani.
Ubhay hans adharamo vihrai. Daamini darshan utht janu laharai.
Bhuja baanh man chikur banaai. Hriday raakhi ur kalit ljaai.
Saakhi-kati naabhi pinduri janghni, nakh sikh bahut anoop.
Jhaljhalaat jhalakat maha, shabdahi roop suroop.
Couplet
Nigam neti netihi karidhaavai. Tinko roop barn ko paavai.
Man budhi chit pahunch naahin tahaan. Abran Purush viraaje jahaan.
Jahaan lon nijman darshan paava. Tahaan lagi varan Kabir sunaava.
Agam agaadh gaadhmo naahin. Jyonke tyon Prabhu sada rahaahin.
Agra naam Purush ke barani. Bhavsaar ki hai yah tarani.
On page 82, the following verse is written:
Purush gale pushp ki mala. Haath amar ankur risala.
Meaning: The verses above clearly indicate that the Supreme God has a human-like body, with every part of it radiating divine light. The Supreme God is eternal and resides in the immortal realm.
The Mention of Five Names
On page 86, it is stated that in the path of liberation, the mantra of five and seven names also plays a significant role:
Paanch naam taahi ko parwana. Jo koi sadhu hriday mein aana.
Sapt naal saaton naama. Beera bihang karain sab kaama.
On Page 101:
Yah gun gyaan sthiti hi ke, jo paavai nij naam.
Ajpa japai Kabir ko, so pahunche nij dhaam.
Naam hriday dharai aur japai sahi jaap.
Mool shabd ki ratna karai, mool shabd Prabhu aap.
Description of Oham-Soham
On page 105:
Oham-Soham taako jaapa. Likhit parai nahi punya aur paapa.
Mool shabd (Saar shabd) kaahu nahi paava. Mool naam main gupt chhipava.
On page 107:
Saar naam jin hiye samoi. Kaal jaal sab jaay bigoi.
On page 126:
Oham Soham ke hohi sawaara. Chhod jab deh jaavai darbaara.
Akshar and Nishakshar Are Not Different
On page 144:
Akshar nir akshar duja naahi. Duuja kahai ho biguchan taahi.
Kah Kabir Dharmdas son, akshar sumirahu saar.
Nishakshar son preet kar, utarahu bhavjal paar.
These verses signify the Supreme God’s human-like form and highlight the true liberation mantras.
The summary of the chapter "Gyan Sthiti Bodh" in Kabir Sagar is thus concluded.
