God is in me, and God is in you,

just as Life is in every seed. . . .






Kabîr, an ordinary craftsman who lived in fifteenth-century India, could neither read nor write-and yet he left us spiritual wisdom that spans religions. Although both Hindus and Muslims today claim Kabîr as their saint, ultimately, his religion was simply love.




Kabîr's passionate love affair with the Divine offers a resolution to the dualism so present in our modern thinking. We tend to perceive an impenetrable wall between the spiritual and physical worlds, as well as between humanity and the Divine and between life and death, but Kabîr saw past the illusion of separation. Everything and everyone, he taught, is an expression of the eternal Love that sustains us all.




We carry God within us, woven through both our bodies and our souls, Kabîr believed, and so there's no need for us to strive after holiness, no need to agonize and search for the spiritual heights. We don't have to "become religious" or convert to a particular theology; Divine rest and fulfillment are ours simply for the taking. We don't have to go anywhere, because we're already home.
