Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals:
not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
When you really look for me, you will see me instantly–
you will find me in the tiniest house
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

This is a beautiful message found in its simplicity. I hope that people understand it’s powerful message. It brought tears to my eyes. ♡
I’m glad you liked it so much. There is much to appreciate in Kabir’s writing.
