Garden: In that Forest...

In that Forest where no lion roars, where no bird takes to flight, where there is neither day nor night, there dwells Kabir, entranced.

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 again, or answer the call of the VEENA?

Garden: I laugh when I hear...

I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty: you do not see that the Real is in your HOME, and you wander from FOREST to forest listlessly! Here is the truth! Go where you will, to Benares or to Mathura; if you do not find your soul, the world is unreal to you.

Where to next: HOME or the FOREST?

Benares. This refers to Varanasi, the sacred city on the Ganges, sometimes referred to as the "spiritual capital of India."

Mathura. Krishna was born in Mathura; it is another one of the Sacred Cities.
