Garden: The Purana and the Koran...

The Purana and the Koran are mere words; lifting up the curtain, I have seen. Kabîr gives utterance to the words of experience, and he knows very well that all other things are untrue.

Next: This is the end of a path, but not the end of the garden. Return to the beginning: would you like to follow the FLUTE, or answer the call of the VEENA?

Purana. The Puranas are a kind of Hindu encyclopedia; you can find out more at Wikipedia.

Koran = Quran. This is the sacred text of the Islamic tradition.

Here is the full poem:

XLII

I. 79. tîrath men to sab pânî hai

  There is nothing but water at the holy bathing places; and I know
    that they are useless, for I have bathed in them.
  The images are all lifeless, they cannot speak; I know, for I
    have cried aloud to them.
  The Purana and the Koran are mere words; lifting up the curtain,
    I have seen.
  Kabîr gives utterance to the words of experience; and he knows
    very well that all other things are untrue.
