The great saint and poet Kabir says

The Jewel

The jewel is lost in the mud,

And all are seeking for it;

Some look for it in the East, and some in the West;

Some in the water and some amongst stones.

But the servant Kabir has appraised it at its true value, and has warpped it with care

In a corner of the mantle of his own heart.

The Real is in Your Own Home

“I laugh when I hear that fish in the water is thirsty;

You do not see the Real in your home, and you wander from forest to forest listlessly!

Here is the truth! Go where you will, to Benares or to Mathura, if you do not find your soul, the world is unreal to you……

To what sore would you cross, O my heart? There is no traveller before you, there is no road……………..

There, there is neither mind nor body and where is the plae that shall still the thirst of the soul? You shall find naught in the emptiness.

Be strong, and enter into your own body; for there your foothold is firm. Consider it well O my heart! Go not elsewhere.

Kabir says :Put all imagination away, and stand fast in that which you are

An Endless World

There is an endless world, O my brother,

And there is a nameless Being, of whom naught can be said:

Only he knows who has reached that region.

It is other than all that is heard or said

No form, no body, no length, no breadth is seen there;

How can I tell you that which it is?

Kabir says: “It cannot be told by the words of the mouth, it cannot be written on paper;

It is like a dumb person who tastes a sweet thing – how shall it be explained?
