Garden: Clouds thicken...

Clouds thicken in the sky! O, listen to the deep voice of their ROARING; the RAIN comes from the east with its monotonous MURMUR. Take care of the fences and boundaries of your fields, lest the rains overflow them; prepare the soil of deliverance, and let the creepers of love and renunciation be soaked in this shower.

Where to next: the ROARING or the RAIN, or perhaps the MURMUR?

I. 71. gagan ghatâ ghaharânî, sâdho

  Clouds thicken in the sky! O, listen to the deep voice of their

    roaring;

  The rain comes from the east with its monotonous murmur.

  Take care of the fences and boundaries of your fields, lest the

    rains overflow them;

  Prepare the soil of deliverance, and let the creepers of love and

    renunciation be soaked in this shower.

  It is the prudent farmer who will bring his harvest home; he

    shall fill both his vessels, and feed both the wise men and the

    saints.

Garden: Hari is in the East...

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.

Where to next: EAST or WEST?

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.
