Bhajan performer and Kabirpanthee Sh Makkhan Lal

Are you looking for me?

Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat.

My shoulder is against yours. you will not find me

in the stupas, not in Indian shrinerooms,

nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: not in masses,

nor kirtans, not in legs windingaround your own neck, nor in eating nothing butvegetables.

When you really look for me, you will see me instantly --you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?

He is the breath inside the breath.

- Kabir

There's a moon in my body

There's a moon in my body...
There's a moon in my body, but I can't see it!

A moon and a sun. A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can't hear it!
As long as a human being worries about when he will die, and what he has that is his, all of his works are zero. When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead, then the work of the Teacher is over.
The purpose of labor is to learn; when you know it, the labor is over. The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when thatcomes, the petal falls.
The musk is inside the deer, but the deer does notlook for it: it wanders around looking for grass.

Kabir
