"Do not go to the garden of flowers"
Do not go to the garden of flowers
Oh my friend, do not go there
In your body is a garden of flowers
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus
And there gaze at the infinite beauty
There is an ocean inside you
And when you are ready you will drink
When you really look for me
You will see me instantly
The river that flows in you also flows in me
All know that the drop merges into the ocean
But few know that the ocean merges into the drop
The beloved is inside you and also inside me
You know the tree is hidden inside the seed
Let your arrogance go, none of us has gone far
Inside love there is more power than we realize
As the river surrender itself to the ocean
What is inside me moves inside you
If you want the truth I’ll tell you the truth
Listen to the secret sound,
The real sound which is inside you
My heart is intoxicated with love
That I have no wish to speak
Reading books everyone died
None became any wise
One who reads the word of love only becomes wise
Kabir
Indisk filosof och sufi (1440-1518)
