PS burn in every house,

O blind one! and you cannot see them.

One day your eyes shall suddenly be opened, and you shall see: and the fetters of death will fall from you.

There is nothing to say or to hear, there is nothing to do: it is he who is living, yet dead, who shall never die again.

Your Lord is near: yet you are climbing the palm-tree to seek Him.

Alas! the true fountain of life is beside you, and you have set up a stone to worship.

Kabîr says: "I may never express how sweet my Lord is.

Yoga and the telling of beads, virtue and vice—these are naught to Him."Translated by Rabindranath Tagore
