Garden: If thou art...


If thou art a true SEEKER, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of TIME. Kabîr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath."

Where to next: TIME or the SEEKING?

sadhu. A sadhu is an ascetic or holy person, someone dedicated to the spiritual practice known as sadhana.

Here is the full poem:

I

I. 13. mo ko kahân dhûnro bande

  O servant, where dost thou seek Me?
  Lo! I am beside thee.
  I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor
    in Kailash:
  Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and
    renunciation.
  If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt
    meet Me in a moment of time.
  Kabîr says, "O Sadhu! God is the breath of all breath."
