Kabir

"Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream. Only sayings of the wise will remain." ~ Kabir

My Body Is Flooded

My body is flooded
With the flame of Love.
My soul lives in
A furnace of bliss.

Love's fragrance
Fills my mouth,
And fans through all things
With each outbreath.

English version by Andrew Harvey

"If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?" ~ Kabir

Within This Earthen Vessel

Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within

it is the Creator:
Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered

stars.
The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;
And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring

wells up.
Kabir says: "Listen to me, my Friend! My beloved Lord is

within.
