Kabir Quote: I PLAYED day and night with my comrades, and... - iPerceptive

I PLAYED day and night with my comrades, and now I am greatly afraid.
So high is my Lord’s palace, my heart trembles to mount its stairs: yet I must not be shy, if I would enjoy His love.
My heart must cleave to my Lover; I must withdraw my veil, and meet Him with all my body:
Mine eyes must perform the ceremony of the lamps of love.
Kabîr says: “Listen to me, friend: he understands who loves. If you feel not love’s longing for your Beloved One, it is vain to adorn your body, vain to put unguent on your eyelids.”

First the pangs of separation
Then grows the thirst for Love
Says Kabir then only hope
For the union to materialize.

To Thee Thou hast drawn my love, O Fakir… Kabîr says, “Thou hast united Thy heart to my heart, O Fakir!”

Source: Songs of Kabir - Translated by Tagore

When “I” was then Hari was not, Now Hari “is” and “I” am not
All the darkness illusions mitigated, When I saw the light illumination within.
