II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

सब आया एक ही घाट से, उतरा एक ही बाट I
बीच में दुविधा पड़ गयी, हो गए बारह बाट II

A monk lived outside a cave and does nothing but sleep, day and night. A road passes by his hut and leads to an important place of pilgrimage in the mountains. Pilgrims passing by his hut are often surprised to see the monk lying about lazily and doing nothing. Once in a while they ask him, "Why are you lying here? Why don't you go on pilgrimage?"
The monk says to them, "I am already there where you are coming from or going to." And then he turns his back on them. He has never gone on a pilgrimage, nor is he likely to go ever. The pilgrims think him to be a madman, but he tells them again and again, "I am already there where you are going; I need not go anywhere or do anything." One does not have to go anywhere in search of it. Drop all searching...

"Kabir says, as long as we are immersed in body consciousness, we are like strangers in a foreign country. Our native land is omnipresence."
