- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- II. 22. Man Tu Par Utar Kanh Jaiho
- To what shore would you cross, o my heart? There is no traveler before you, there is no road.
- Where is the movement, where is the rest, on that shore?
- There is no water; no boat, no boatman is there;
- There is not so much as a rope to tow the boat, nor a man to draw it.
- No earth, no sky, no time, no thing, is there: no shore, no ford!
- There, there is neither body nor mind. And where is the place that shall still the thirst of the soul? You shall find naught in that emptiness.
- Be strong, and enter into your own body: for there your foothold is firm. Consider it well, o my heart! Go not elsewhere.
- Kabir says: "Put all imagination away, and stand fast in that which you are."
- II. 81. Satgur Soi Daya Kar Dinha
- It is the mercy of my true guru that has made me to know the unknown;
- I have learned from him how to walk without feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink without mouth, to fly without wings;
- I have brought my love and my meditation into the land where there is no sun and moon, nor day and night.
- Without eating, I have tasted of the sweetness of nectar, and without water, I have quenched my thirst.
- Where there is the response of delight, there is the fullness of joy. Before whom can that joy be uttered?
- Kabir says: "The guru is great beyond words, and great is the good fortune of the disciple."
