I. 20. man na rangâye

The Yogi dyes his garments, instead of dyeing his mind in the

colours of love:

He sits within the temple of the Lord, leaving Brahma to worship

a stone.

He pierces holes in his ears, he has a great beard and matted

locks, he looks like a goat:

He goes forth into the wilderness, killing all his desires, and

turns himself into an eunuch:

He shaves his head and dyes his garments; he reads the Gîtâ and

becomes a mighty talker.

Kabîr says: "You are going to the doors of death, bound hand and

foot!"
