Kabir, 1440 – 1518,
\nMystic poet and saint from India<\/p>\n
#1<\/p>\n
Are you looking for me?
\nI am in the next seat.
\nMy shoulder is against yours.
\nYou will not find me in\u00a0the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms,
\nnor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals;
\nnot in masses, nor kirtans,
\nnot in legs winding around your own neck,
\nnor in eating nothing but vegetables.<\/p>\n
When you really look for\u00a0me, you will see me instantly —
\nyou will find me in the tiniest house of time.<\/p>\n
Student, tell me, what is God?
\nHe is the breath inside the breath.<\/p>\n

Friend, hope for the guest while you are alive.
\nJump into experience while you are alive!
\nThink\u2026and think\u2026while you are alive.
\nWhat you call \u2018salvation\u2019 belongs to the time before death.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t break your ropes while you\u2019re alive,
\ndo you think\u2028ghosts will do it after?<\/p>\n
The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic
\nJust because the body is rotten -\u2028that is all fantasy.
\nWhat is found now is found then.
\nIf you find nothing now,
\nyou will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
\nIf you make love with the divine now,
\nin the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.<\/p>\n
So plunge into the truth,
\nfind out who the Teacher is,
\nBelieve in the Great Sound!<\/p>\n
When the guest is being searched for,
\nit is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work.
\nLook at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.<\/p>\n
