Kabir, as translated by Rabindranath Tagore, in Songs of Kabîr (1915)
  • As paraphrased by Robert Bly in The Kabir Book (1977)
“

O servant, where dost thou seek Me? Lo! I am beside thee. I am neither in temple nor in mosque: I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash: Neither am I in rites and ceremonies, nor in Yoga and renunciation. If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment of time.
