Songs of Kabir — Song XLVIII

Songs of Kabir — Song XLVIII

Kabir

I. 107. _calat mansâ acal kînhî_
I have stilled my restless mind, and my heart is radiant: for in
Thatness I have seen beyond That-ness. In company I have seen
the Comrade Himself.
Living in bondage, I have set myself free: I have broken away
from the clutch of all narrowness.
Kabîr says: "I have attained the unattainable, and my heart is
coloured with the colour of love."
