Tagore, Rabindranath, 1861-1941

"Songs of Kabir"


He removes the veil from the eyes, and gives the true Vision of
Brahma:
He reveals the worlds in Him, and makes me to hear the Unstruck
Music:
He shows joy and sorrow to be one:
He fills all utterance with love.
Kab?r says: "Verily he has no fear, who has such a Guru to lead
him to the shelter of safety!"

XXIII

II. 40. tinwir s??jh k? gahir? ?wai
The shadows of evening fall thick and deep, and the darkness of
love envelops the body and the mind.
Open the window to the west, and be lost in the sky of love;
Drink the sweet honey that steeps the petals of the lotus of the
heart.
Receive the waves in your body: what splendour is in the region
of the sea!
Hark! the sounds of conches and bells are rising.
Kab?r says: "O brother, behold! the Lord is in this vessel of my
body."

XXIV

II. 48. jis se rahani ap?r jagat men
More than all else do I cherish at heart that love which makes me
to live a limitless life in this world.
It is like the lotus, which lives in the water and blooms in the
water: yet the water cannot touch its petals, they open beyond
its reach.
