For The Enemy
Jag mein bairī koi nahī̃
Kabir wasn’t denying danger.
He was pointing past it.
Because enemies don’t arrive as people.
They arrive as "disturbance"
fire that steals sleep,
one sharp strike that can ruin a life,
corruption of the ground you stand on,
intrusion where none was invited,
hands reaching for what must remain untouched.
Each test asks the same question:
Will you cling, or will you act clean?
If it stands close,
within your karmic reach
you cut, detach, and walk on
without turning back.
If it towers beyond you
you surrender.
Not to fear,
but to order.
You let the lineage move.
You forgive before the fall.
You release the taste of victory
before it poisons you.
Because the moment you enjoy destruction,
you inherit its debt.
And something strange happens then
peace doesn’t break.
It deepens.
What once felt like opposition
becomes propulsion.
What once threatened
now sharpens awareness.
That’s when Kabir makes sense.
Jag mein bairī koi nahī̃
only attachments asking to be dropped,
only tests asking for precision,
only Kali pushing you
into higher fire.
Lose the self that needs enemies,
and sādhana stops hurting
and starts opening.
