- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- I.20. Man na Rangaye Kapada
- The yogi dyes his garments,
- Instead of dyeing his mind in the colors of love:
- He sits within the temple of the lord,
- Leaving Brahma to worship a stone.
- He pierces holes in his ears, he has a great beard
- And matted locks, he looks like a goat:
- He goes forth into the wilderness, killing all his desires,
- And turns himself into an eunuch.
- He shaves his head and dyes his garments;
- He reads the Gita and becomes a mighty talker.
- Kabir says: "You are going to the doors of death,
- Bound hand and foot."
- III.102. Ham Se Raha Na Jay
- I hear the melody of his flute, and I cannot contain myself:
- The flower blooms, though it is not spring;
- And already the bee has received its invitation.
- The sky roars and the lightning flashes,
- The waves arise in my heart,
- The rain falls; and my heart longs for my lord.
- Where the rhythm of the world rises and falls,
- Thither my heart has reached:
- There the hidden banners are fluttering in the air.
- Kabir says: "My heart is dying, though it lives."
