Saints, I see the world is mad. If I tell the truth they rush to beat me, if I lie they trust me. Ive seen the pious Hindus, rule-followers, early morning bath-takers- killing souls, they worship rocks. They know nothing. Ive seen plenty of Muslim teachers, holy men reading their holy books and teaching their pupils techniques. They know just as much. And posturing yogis, hypocrites, hearts crammed with pride, praying to brass, to stones, reeling with pride in their pilgrimage, fixing their caps and their prayer-beads, painting their brow-marks and arm-marks, braying their hymns and their couplets, reeling. They never heard of soul. The Hindu says Ram is the Beloved, the Turk says Rahim. Then they kill each other. No one knows the secret. They buzz their mantras from house to house, puffed with pride. The pupils drown along with their gurus. In the end theyre sorry. Kabir says, listen saints: theyre all deluded! Whatever I say, nobody gets it. Its too simple. ~ Kabir
