Here is the truth! Go where you will, to Benares or to Mathura;
if you do not find your soul, the world is unreal to you.

I. 93. gagan math gaib nisân gade

The Hidden Banner is planted in the temple of the sky; there the
blue canopy decked with the moon and set with bright jewels is
spread.
There the light of the sun and the moon is shining: still your
mind to silence before that splendour.
Kabîr says: "He who has drunk of this nectar, wanders like one
who is mad."



XLV


I. 97. sâdho, ko hai kânh se âyo

Who are you, and whence do you come?
Where dwells that Supreme Spirit, and how does He have His sport
with all created things?
The fire is in the wood; but who awakens it suddenly? Then it
turns to ashes, and where goes the force of the fire?
