KABIR'S POEMS
5
Sadhu ! the true path is rarely found.”
VI
I. 83. candā jhalkai yahi ghaṭ māhīn
The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it:
The moon is within me, and so is the sun.
The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it.
So long as man clamours for the I and the Mine, his works are as naught:
When all love of the I and the Mine is dead, then the work of the Lord is done.
For work has no other aim than the getting of knowledge :
When that comes, then work is put away.
