II. 33. ghar ghar dîpak barai

Lamps burn in every house, O blind one! and you cannot see them.

One day your eyes shall suddenly be opened, and you shall see:

and the fetters of death will fall from you.

There is nothing to say or to hear, there is nothing to do: it is

he who is living, yet dead, who shall never die again.

Because he lives in solitude, therefore the Yogi says that his

home is far away.

Your Lord is near: yet you are climbing the palm-tree to seek

Him.

The Brâhman priest goes from house to house and initiates people

into faith:

Alas! the true fountain of life is beside you., and you have set

up a stone to worship.

Kabîr says: "I may never express how sweet my Lord is. Yoga and

the telling of beads, virtue and vice—these are naught to Him."
