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.

Garden: If God be within...

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.
