My Friend, Hope for the Guest while you are alive.
Jump into experience while you are alive.
Think....and think while you are alive.
What you call Salvation belongs to that time before death.
If you do not break your ropes while you are alive,
do you think ghosts will do it after.
The Idea that your soul will unite with the ecstatic just because the body is
rotten is all fantasy.
What is found now, is found then.
If you find nothing now, you will end up in an apartment in the City of Death.
If you make love with the Divine now, in the next life ; you will have the face
of satisfied desire.
So plunge into the truth, seek out who the Teacher is and believe in the Great
Sound.
Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of
the longing for the Guest that does all the work.
Look at me,
I am a slave of that Intensity.
KABIR, translated by Robert Bly.
