Lesson 242

How could the love between Thee and me sever?

Excerpt

How could the love between Thee and me sever? As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water: so Thou art my Lord, and I am Thy servant. As the night-bird Chakor gazes all night at the moon: so Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love between Thee and me; and how shall such love be extinguished?

✨ To meditate on today

According to Kabîr, the mystic poet of India, the love between God and the soul cannot break: it is as natural as the lotus leaf resting on the water or the chakor, a bird of Indian legend, gazing at the moon all night long. Tonight, look at the moon or the sky for a few moments, and say again to God, like Kabîr: "I am Thy servant."
