Songs of Kabir

KABIRS POEMSII. 13. mo ko kahn dhnro bandeO servant, where dost thou seek Me?Lo! I am beside thee.I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash:Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and renunciation.If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.Kab(R)r says, O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath.III. 16. Santan jt na pcho nirguniynIt is needless to ask of a saint the caste to which he belongs;For the priest, the warrior. the tradesman, and all the thirty-six castes, alike are seeking for God.It is but folly to ask what the caste of a saint may be;The barber has sought God, the washerwoman, and the carpenterEven Raidas was a seeker after God.The Rishi Swapacha was a tanner by caste.Hindus and Moslems alike have achieved that End, where remains no mark of distinction.
