A poem from the book of Kabir...
I said to the wanting creature inside me:
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers on the river-road, & no road.
Do you see anyone moving about on that bank, or resting?
There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatmaun.
There is no towrope either & no one to pull it.
There is no ground, no sky, no time, no bank, no ford!
And there is no body, and no mind!
Do you believe there is some place that will make the soul less thirsty?
In that great absence you will find nothing.
Be string then, and enter into your own body;
There you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don't go off somewhere else!
Quote from Jesus:
"I am the way, the truth & the light."
John 8:12
