Kabir poem

Difficult to understand – the words of a great Saint

I have the translation here

Struck by a bladless spear, he sits under the tree
Surely he will die either today or tomorrow.

This is a  difficult passage to understand, but this is my interpretation.  Bladeless spear – is awakening of the shakti.  It is a spear since it penetrates the chakras.  The tree is the passage to Sahastrar and sitting refers to meditation.   Surely he will die today or tomorrow – meaning Moksha is certain in a few births.

The tree is Brahmanadi or sushumna
Death is Death of ego
