Oh unattached being (avadhooth yogin) I am a yogi from many aeons (yugan)
Commentary:
This doha is playing with the words yogi and yuga, the avadhootha yogi being the one is free of the cycle of time and change and the yuga (aeon) is the term denoting great cycles. A yogi that exists in a state beyond time and independent of the changes of the yugas is without need for legitimization or identification. On the contrary any identification or legitimization would be an obstacle to achive the state of an avadhoota. When considering and discussion the Nath Sampradaya it should be kept in mind that ultimately reaching the state of an avadhootha is the goal of any nath individual. Though he cannnot reach this goal alone and without a Guru and must receive inspiration, knowledge and iniitiation from past masters it is his own effort that is decisive for the final outcome.

I don’t come or go nor do I get erased.
Commentary:
In this state there is no sampradaya the avadhootha is not subject to the three times past present future (watch out for links with the Quantum mechanics discussion)

I relish and enjoy the un-struck Anahat Shabd
Commentary:
Now the attention moves to the “door to liberation” the Anahat Shabd or Nada the unstruck sound not produced by any instrument or voice thats why it is called unstruck. The existence beyond decay and reincarnation, is achived by realising the sound body, also called mantra body that unlike the physical or astral bodies, is immortal. Achieving the immortal body is a high aim of the Nath Sampradaya.

In every direction I see only a collection and carnival of me.
Commentary:
This is non localised consciousness used to generate immortality in a distinct foetal focus , the center of the 10 directions of space, this is the alpha ovule it is the focus both localited and non localized appearing in the zonule on the Asana. Achievement of the union of what you are and the outside world is either by collapsing the universe infinitly small or extending it infinitly wide. This is Attachment/Aversion transmuting to infinite Absorption/Projection. (watch for links with the Quantum mechanics discussion) One could have the impression that Kabir stops with enlightment (non localized consciousness) and the rest is my addition but he is not, this can be seen in the last verses.

I am in everybody and everybody is in me. I am utterly alone
Commentary:
The result of Absorption/Projection. The weapons symbolising the rule over these processes are held in the Hands of some Hindu deities these are the noose and the elephant goad (skt.pasha / ankusha)

I am the Siddha, I am the Samadhi
Commentary:
The difference between the state (samadhi) and its experiencer(Siddha) vanishes.

I am the one who remains silent, I am the one who speaks
Commentary:
Both the latent universe as well as the emanated (in the form of deities and mantras) is present in the Siddha and the subject/object union (Samadhi). There are magic implications, but usually Siddhas iinvolved in that process are ocuppied with matters more urgent than practicing magic, (watch for links with the Quantum mechanics and multiverses discussion)
The form (rupa) is my own form (svarupa) manifesting the formless (arupa)
Commentary:
Rupa is the form that can be touched and seen, swarupa the essential true form, arupa the formless. These are the three different refinend grades of the immortal body from form to formlessness. Kabir says that these are not independent and in in an independt stae subject to desintegration by time, but that the Avadhootha yogi is able to unify them into a body of even higher order, this unifaction gives the yogi the ability to appear in any form he wishes and immortalise even the form body.

I am the one who plays with himself
Commentary:
He is not subject to the lila (Play) of Maya anymore, since he has become one with Shakti. (rupa= shakti, swaropa= shiva, arupa= shiva shakti samarasya or sunya)

Kabir says, listen oh Sadhu, there is no conscious will (iccha) anymore
Commentary:
This is the grace (anugraha) of Shiva after having given up yourself by an act of offering or submission (iswarapranidham) the ego (ahamkara) individual will ceases also by itself. iccha shakti= the universal creative desire/urge giving rise to maya is transmuted into sahaja sveccha shakti, effortless self will (without urge or desire)

I am floating in myself in my own little hut playing effortlessly by my own will (sahaj swa-ichha)
Commentary:
The state of union with the complete independence and creativity of Shiva Shakti Samarasa arises spontaneously after giving up ego effort, it is achived while staying in the individual human body (little hut), not by merging into a greater unity after death. This is the aim of the siddhas and nathas. Normal people die and desintegrate, physical body returning to elements, astral bodies to energy
self/mental bodies merging into universality. The parts are mixed cleanend recycled and by natural attraction/aversion the parts randomly reasssemble to form a new composite. The common belief that reincarnation means that a constant entity can experience heaven or hell and rebirth and after several rounds achieve liberation is a trap. The message of the Nath Panth is different: It is liberation while alive : That is now you have to become immortal, otherwise you die. Remember what our great grandfather G.I Gurdijeff said: “Men is asleep in a house on fire”
Sorry for my intrusion…
Commentary:
Afterraeding the doha one immediately realises what the state of an avadhotha is and the amount of effort that is needed to achive the aims of such a Siddha thats why one immediately stops discussing who is a legit nath and who is not, with the effect that the wave of the blessing of whatever line of Gurus one is devoted to, is not interrupted.

“I have never gone with the WILL stuff. I find magic to be more about harmonizing, aligning, intuition, placement, and very purified intent occasionally. Everything else will bring on the problems associated with using the will to affect the world. Karmic blowback if you will permit that shorthand term.”

I’m reminded in your stories of the day you spent following the old guy who just floated from one encounter to the next, light as dandelion fluff, carried on the wind. That said I’m shaking my head, grimacing at “the problems associated with using the will to affect the world.” Heh. Well, we’re on different paths. On mine, “Thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay.” It’s a key tenet of my belief and praxis: discover, know and do thy will. Now if it’s to tread lightly on the world, fine. If it’s to build towering monuments, move mountains or peoples, or just earn a living and feed the family, then well and good as well.

You’ve termed magic as intuition and alignment; I as self-expression, purpose, intent. Different definitions, of course. To the extent yours is ‘newer’… well, is that ‘newer = better’ or ‘newer = immature?’ lol I’m only teasing.
