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.
translated by Robert Bly

Once again, I’m glad you liked it. Bly’s translations of Kabir are quite beautiful.
wonderful
I certainly agree.
Kabir’s work indeed is marvelous. 🙂
Yes, it is.

We were taught stuff he wrote in, maybe,7th-8th standard. And we hated it back then.Now it feels like opportunity lost,sometimes. We could have learnt so much,if we had only wanted.Anyway.:)
It not when you were taught something that is important but when you learned it.
Hmm true,true.:)
