Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 A POEM OF SANT KABIR Translated from Hindi by Vijay Munshi ------- ------- Says Kabir: the clouds of love have gathered raining over me my soul soaked within green woods around. Says Kabir: do not be proud seeing your mansion tomorrow you will lie beneath the earth tufts of grass over you. Says Kabir: those who do not love God know no joy like a guest in an empty house they come and depart. Your God dwells within you like fragrance in the flower musk lies within the deer yet seeks it afar. Worlds pass away reading scriptures none the wiser he who understands the word `Love' is the wise one. The Hindu says Ram is supreme the Muslim, Rahim both die fighting each other neither knowing the Truth. Remembering You ever egoless, I have merged with You no more the cycle of births and deaths wherever the eye goes I see You. Brimming with devotion to God I am this world tires me no more a pitcher once baked, says Kabir needs no potter's wheel again. ------- ------- ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
