Not for a moment have you come face to face with the world:
You are weaving your bondage of falsehood, your words are full of
deception:
With the load of desires which you. hold on your head, how can
you be light?"
Kab?r says: "Keep within you truth, detachment, and love."

are man, dh?raj k?he na dharaiWhy so impatient, my heart?
He who watches over birds, beasts, and insects,
He who cared for you whilst you were yet in your mother's womb,
Shall He not care for you now that you are come forth?
Oh my heart, how could you turn from the smile of your Lord and
wander so far from Him?
You have left Your Beloved and are thinking of others: and this
is why all your work is in vain.

The rain-bird wails in thirst for the rain: almost she dies of
her longing, yet she would have none other water than the
rain.
