Songs of Kabir — Song VIII

Kabir

I. 101. _is ghat antar bâg bagîce_
Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it
is the Creator:
Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.
The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;
And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells
up.
Kabîr says: "Listen to me, my Friend! My beloved Lord is within."
