Song 1 O servant, where dost thou seek Me?
Lo! I am beside thee.
I am neither in temple nor in mosque:
I am neither
in Kaaba nor
in Kailash:
Neither am I in rites and ceremonies,
nor in Yoga
and
renunciation.
If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see
Me:
thou shalt
meet Me in a moment of time.
Kabīr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all
breath."
Song 2
It is needless to ask of a saint the caste to
which he belongs;
For the priest, the warrior. the tradesman, and all
the
thirty-six castes, alike are seeking for God.
It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may
be;
The barber has sought God, the washerwoman,
and the carpenter--
Even Raidas was a seeker after God.
The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste.
Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End,
where remains no mark of distinction.
