Garden: O Kazi, O Pundit...

O, Kazi, O Pundit, consider it well: what is there that is not in the SOUL? The water-FILLED pitcher is placed upon water, it has water WITHIN and without.

---

Where to next: the FILLING of the pitcher, the being WITHIN... or perhaps the SOUL itself?

Here is the full poem:

I. 98. sâdho, sahajai kâyâ s'odho

  O sadhu! purify your body in the simple way.
  As the seed is within the banyan tree, and within the seed are
    the flowers, the fruits, and the shade:
  So the germ is within the body, and within that germ is the body
    again.
  The fire, the air, the water, the earth, and the aether; you
    cannot have these outside of Him.
  O, Kazi, O Pundit, consider it well: what is there that is not in
    the soul?
  The water-filled pitcher is placed upon water, it has water
    within and without.
  It should not be given a name, lest it call forth the error of
    dualism.
  Kabîr says: "Listen to the Word, the Truth, which is your
    essence. He speaks the Word to Himself; and He Himself is the
    Creator."

Garden: O my heart, let us go...

O my heart! Let us go to that country where dwells the BELOVED, the ravisher of my heart! There Love is filling her PITCHER from the well, yet she has no rope wherewith to draw water; there the clouds do not cover the sky, yet the rain falls down in gentle showers.

Where to next: the BELOVED or the PITCHER?

III. 60. cal hamsâ wâ des' jahân

  O my heart! let us go to that country where dwells the Beloved,
    the ravisher of my heart!
  There Love is filling her pitcher from the well, yet she has no
    rope wherewith to draw water;
  There the clouds do not cover the sky, yet the rain falls down in
    gentle showers:
  O bodiless one! do not sit on your doorstep; go forth and bathe
    yourself in that rain!
  There it is ever moonlight and never dark; and who speaks of one
    sun only? that land is illuminate with the rays of a million
    suns.
