Abigat-Gati Kachhu Kahat Na Avai — Surdas — full lyrics and bhavarth (meaning)
'Abigat-Gati Kachhu Kahat Na Avai' is a composition of Surdas. Surdas says — the ways of the nirgun (formless) Brahman cannot be put into words. Just as a mute person who eats a sweet fruit understands its taste within but cannot describe it. How can the mind reach that which has no form, outline or qualities — that is why Sur sings the songs of the sagun (with form) Shri Krishna.
A composition of Surdas. All sant bhajans.

Abigat-gati kachhu kahat na avai ।
Jyon gunge mithe phal ko ras, antargat hi bhavai ॥
Param swad sabhi su nirantar, amit tosh upjavai ।
Man bani kon agam agochar, so janai jo pavai ॥
Rup rekh gun jati jugti binu, niralanb kit dhavai ।
Sab bidhi agam bicharhin taten, sur sagun pad gavai ॥
