My Lord, who ravishes my eyes, has united Himself with me.

Excerpt

Where is the need of words, when love has made drunken the heart? I have wrapped the diamond in my cloak; why open it again and again? When its load was light, the pan of the balance went up: now it is full, where is the need for weighing? The swan has taken its flight to the lake beyond the mountains; why should it search for the pools and ditches any more? Your Lord dwells within you: why need your outward eyes be opened? Kabîr says: "Listen, my brother! my Lord, who ravishes my eyes, has united Himself with me."

✨ To meditate on today

According to Kabîr, the mystic poet of India, when love has filled the heart there is nothing left to seek outside: just as the swan that has found the great lake no longer returns to the pools, the soul that has found its Lord within rests in Him. Today, before each meal, close your eyes for a moment and feel that loving presence dwelling within you.
