Kabir (1440–1518) |
| | | HE 1 is the true Saint, who can reveal the form of the formless to the vision of these eyes: | |
| Who teacheth the simple way of attaining Him, | |
| that is other than rites and ceremonies: | |
| Who requireth thee not to close the doors, | |
| to hold the breath, and renounce the world: | 5 |
| Who maketh thee perceive the supreme Spirit | |
| wherever the mind resteth: | |
| Who teacheth thee to be still amidst all thine activities: | |
| Who, ever immersed in bliss, having no fear, | |
| keepeth the spirit of union thro’out all enjoyments … | 10 |
