Songs of Kabir, LXXI

Go Thou to the company of the good, where the Beloved One has His
dwelling place:
Take all Thy thoughts and love and instruction from thence.
Let that assembly be burnt to ashes where His Name is not spoken!
Tell me, how couldst thou hold a wedding-feast, if the bridegroom
himself were not there?
Waver no more, think only of the Beloved;
Set not Thy heart on the worship of other gods, there is no worth
in the worship of other masters.
Kabîr deliberates and says: "Thus Thou shalt never find the
Beloved!"
