Are You Looking For Me? Poem by Kabir

Are You Looking For Me?

Rating: 3.1


Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
you will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine
rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals:
not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding
around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but
vegetables.

When you really look for me, you will see me
instantly --
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.

Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

मोको कहाँ ढूंढें बन्दे, मैं तो तेरे पास में । ना तीरथ में ना मूरत में, ना एकांत निवास में । ना मंदिर में, ना मस्जिद में, ना काबे कैलाश में ॥ ना मैं जप में, ना मैं तप में, ना मैं व्रत उपास में । ना मैं क्रिया क्रम में रहता, ना ही योग संन्यास में ॥ नहीं प्राण में नहीं पिंड में, ना ब्रह्माण्ड आकाश में । ना मैं त्रिकुटी भवर में, सब स्वांसो के स्वास में ॥ खोजी होए तुरत मिल जाऊं एक पल की ही तलाश में । कहे कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, मैं तो हूँ विशवास में ॥
