' The Experience is Necessary '...

There is nothing but water in the holy pools.

I know, I have been swimming in them.

All the gods sculpted of wood or ivory can't say a word
I know, I have been crying out to them.

The sacred Books of the east are nothing but words.

I looked through their covers one day sideways.

What Kabir talks of is only what he has lived through.

If you have not lived through something it is not true.


- Kabir
