Tagore, Rabindranath, 1861-1941

"Songs of Kabir"


He who is in the body is ever athirst, for he pursues that which
is in part:
But ever there wells forth deeper and deeper the sound "He is
this--this is He"; fusing love and renunciation into one.
Kab?r says: "O brother! that is the Primal Word."

XC

I. 108. main k? se b?jhaun
To whom shall I go to learn about my Beloved?
Kab?r says: "As you never may find the forest if you ignore the
tree, so He may never be found in abstractions."

XCI

III. 12. samskirit bh?sh? padhi l?nh?
I have learned the Sanskrit language, so let all men call me
wise:
But where is the use of this, when I am floating adrift, and
parched with thirst, and burning with the heat of desire?
To no purpose do you bear on your head this load of pride and
vanity.
Kab?r says: "Lay it down in the dust, and go forth to meet the
Beloved. Address Him as your Lord."

XCII

III. 110. carkh? calai surat virahin k?
The woman who is parted from her lover spins at the spinning
wheel.
