O FRIEND, WHERE DOST THOU SEEK ME?
LO! I AM BESIDE THEE.
I AM NEITHER IN TEMPLE NOR IN MOSQUE:
I AM NEITHER IN KAABA NOR IN KAILASH:
NEITHER AM I IN RITES AND CEREMONIES,
NOR IN YOGA AND RENUNCIATION.
IF THOU ART A TRUE SEEKER,
THOU SHALT AT ONCE SEE ME:
THOU SHALT MEET ME IN A MOMENT OF TIME.
KABIR SAYS: "O FRIEND! GOD IS THE BREATH OF ALL BREATH."
O FRIEND! HOPE FOR HIM WHILST YOU LIVE,
KNOW WHILST YOU LIVE,
UNDERSTAND WHILST YOU LIVE:
FOR IN LIFE DELIVERANCE ABIDES.
IF YOUR BONDS BE NOT BROKEN WHILST LIVING,
WHAT HOPE OF DELIVERANCE IN DEATH?
IT IS BUT AN EMPTY DREAM,
THAT THE SOUL SHALL HAVE UNION WITH HIM BECAUSE IT HAS PASSED
FROM THE BODY.
IF HE IS FOUND NOW, HE IS FOUND THEN,
IF NOT, WE DO BUT GO TO DWELL IN THE CITY OF DEATH.
IF YOU HAVE UNION NOW, YOU SHALL HAVE IT HEREAFTER.
BATHE IN THE TRUTH, KNOW THE TRUE GURU, HAVE FAITH IN THE TRUE NAME!
KABIR SAYS: "IT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE QUEST WHICH HELPS
I AM THE SLAVE OF THIS SPIRIT OF THE QUEST."
