One Hundred Poems by Kabir/8

by Kabir

VIII

I. 101. is ghaṭ antar bāg bagīce

Within this earthern vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator:

Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.

The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;

And within this vessel the Internal soundeth, and the spring wells up.

Kabir says: “Listen to me, my friend ! My beloved Lord is within.”
