Song 3 O
friend! hope for Him whilst you live, know whilst
you live,
understand whilst you live: for in life deliverance
abides.
If your bonds be not broken whilst living,
what hope of deliverance in death?
It is but an empty dream,
that the soul shall have
union with Him
because it has passed from the body:
If He is found now, He is found then,
If not, we do but go to dwell in the City of Death.
If you have union now, you shall have it hereafter.
Bathe in the truth, know the true Guru,
have faith in the true Name!
Kabīr says: "It is the Spirit of the quest which
helps;
I am the
slave of this Spirit of the quest."
Song 4
Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,
and there
gaze on the Infinite Beauty.
