If God be within the mosque, then to whom does this world belong? If Ram be within the image which you FIND upon your pilgrimage, then who is there to KNOW what happens without?
Where to next: the KNOWING or the FINDING also?
[Source: RT 69 (partial); 3.2. jo khodâ masjid vasat hai]
Ram = Rama. This is an avatar of the god Vishnu whose story is told in the Ramayana.
Here is the full poem:
LXIX
III. 2. jo khodâ masjid vasat hai
If God be within the mosque, then to whom does this world belong?
If Ram be within the image which you find upon your pilgrimage,
then who is there to know what happens without?
Hari is in the East: Allah is in the West. Look within your
heart, for there you will find both Karim and Ram;
All the men and women of the world are His living forms.
Kabîr is the child of Allah and of Ram: He is my Guru, He is my
Pir.
