- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- The guest is inside you, and also inside me;
- You know the sprout is hidden inside the seed.
- We are all struggling; none of us has gone far.
- Let your arrogance go, and look around inside.
- The blue sky opens out farther and farther,
- The daily sense of failure goes away,
- The damage I have done to myself fades,
- A million suns come forward with light,
- When I sit firmly in that world.
- I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken,
- Inside love there is more joy than we know of,
- Rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds,
- There are whole rivers of light.
- The universe is shot through in all parts
- By a single sort of love.
- How hard it is to feel that joy in all our four bodies!
- Those who hope to be reasonable about it fail.
- The arrogance of reason has separated us from that love.
- With the word 'reason' you already feel miles away.
- How lucky Kabir is, that surrounded by all this joy
- He sings inside his own little boat.
- His poems aamount to one sould meeting another.
- These songs are about forgetting dying and loss,
- They rise above both coming in and going out.
