\"\"<\/a>
from Kabir…<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a moon in my body, but I can’t see it!
A moon and a sun.
A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can’t hear it!<\/p>\n

As long as a human being worries about when he will die,
and what he has that is his,
all of his works are zero.
When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead,
then the work of the Teacher is over.<\/p>\n

The purpose of labor is to learn;
when you know it, the labor is over.
The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when that
comes, the petal falls.<\/p>\n

The musk is inside the deer, but the deer does not
look for it:
it wanders around looking for grass.<\/p>\n

~Kabir<\/p>\n
