There is nothing but water in the holy pools. I know, I have been swimming there. All the gods sculpted of wood or ivory canโt say a word. I know, I have been crying out to them. The Sacred Books of the East are nothing but words. I looked through their covers one day sideways. What Kabir talks of is only what he has lived through. If you have not lived through something, it is not true.
KabirA diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up.
KabirAdmire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.
