साँस साँस पर नाम ले, वृथा साँस मति खोय I न जाने इस साँस का, आवन होय न होय II
When there is sunshine, we do not recognize its importance, nor when there is a river, do we appreciate the value of a single drop of water. While we are still able to breathe, we never think about how precious and important a single breath is to us! However, once breathing ceases, wealth, status, fame, friends, and family all become meaningless.
"Kabir says, the true length of life is one breath. We exist for one breath at a time not knowing the life span or even what will happen next. Who knows if this breath we inhale could be our last? Kabir reminds us not to waste any breath. To be really focused on ‘each breath-साँस साँस'-is to be fully in the present moment, or NOW, free from the past and future. We must consciously contemplate "Hari Naam" with every breath as if it may be our last."
