Mystic Kabir
Songs
Song 22
O brother, my heart yearns for that true Guru,
who fills the cup
of true love, and drinks of it himself,
and offers it then to me.
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.
Kabīr says: "Verily he has no fear, who has such a
Guru to lead
him to the shelter of safety!"
Song 23
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.
Kabīr says: "O brother, behold! the Lord is in this
vessel of my body."
