With each out breath…
Still the body, still the mind. Still the voice inside. In silence, feel the stillness move. Friends, this feeling cannot be imagined. Still the body, still the mind. Still the voice inside. In silence, feel the stillness move.
Lift the veil that obscures the heart. And there, you will find what you are looking for.
Oh slave, liberate yourself! Where are you? And where is your home? Find it in your lifetime. If you fail to wake up now, you’ll be helpless when the end comes. Says Kabir, “Listen oh wise one! The seige of death is hard to withstand.”
Hiding in this cage of visible matter is the invisible life bird. Pay attention to her. She is singing your song. Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put up a swing. All earth creatures, even the supernovas, sway between these two trees, and it never winds down. Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million — also the wheeling sun and moon. Ages go by, and it goes on.
Everything is swinging: heaven, earth, water, fire, and the secret one, slowly growing a body. Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds, and it made him a servant for life.
My body is flooded with the flames of love. My soul lives in the furnace of bliss. Love’s fragrance fills my mouth. And fans through all things, with each outbreath.
Still the body. Still the mind. Still the voice inside.
In silence, feel the stillness move.
