Bhagwan - The Fish in the Sea is Not Thirsty. Talks on Kabir (1)

I LAUGH WHEN I HEAR THAT THE FISH IN THE WATER IS THIRSTY.

YOU DON'T GRASP THE FACT THAT WHAT IS MOST

ALIVE OF ALL IS INSIDE YOUR OWN HOUSE;

AND SO YOU WALK FROM ONE HOLY CITY TO THE NEXT

WITH A CONFUSED LOOK!

KABIR WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH: GO WHEREVER YOU

LIKE, TO CALCUTTA OR TIBET;

IF YOU CAN'T FIND WHERE YOUR SOUL IS HIDDEN,

FOR YOU THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE REAL!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SORT OF A GOD WE HAVE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT.

THE CALLER CALLS IN A LOUD VOICE TO THE HOLY ONE

AT DUSK.

WHY? SURELY THE HOLY ONE IS NOT DEAF.

HE HEARS THE DELICATE ANKLETS THAT RING ON THE

FEET OF AN INSECT AS IT WALKS.

GO OVER AND OVER YOUR BEADS, PAINT WEIRD DESIGNS

ON YOUR FOREHEAD,

WEAR YOUR HAIR MATTED, LONG, AND OSTENTATIOUS,

BUT WHEN DEEP INSIDE YOU THERE IS A LOADED GUN,

HOW CAN YOU HAVE GOD?
