Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Dear All, Just found this extract on the net an wanted to share it. ======== One day Kabirji was in meditation as usual. Lord Govind and his guru Ramanandji came and stood in front of Kabirji and waited till he finished his meditation. As Kabirji opened his eyes he got puzzled, whom to bow the knees first - God or Guru? Again he closed his eyes and went into meditation. He got an intuition that he should bow his knees to his guru first. He immediately got up and went to his guru Ramanandji and bowed his knees there. God Govind got annoyed with this and said, Kabir you have not done the right thing, you are supposed to bow your knees first to me. Kabirji said, O' Lord pardon me. My guruji Ramanandji is the first person who showed me the path which reaches you, so I bowed my knees to him first. Lord Govind got pleased by his statement and blessed him. Hence Kabirji says in his poem (Doha) : - Guru Govind donu khade, kisko laagu paay, Balihari Gurudevaki jinhe Govind diyo bataay. The Guru and Govind -God, are present before me, to whom shall I bow down first? Glory to the Guru since he showed me Govind. Many thanks to the author.
