my body and breath of life belong to me, not a foreign entity, maybe my body breath and life belongs to God but maybe God is me in that I am his desire therefore our body and breath and life belongs to us and we will dance all night and all day for all and we all shall party forever.
Satguru Kabir Says: I do not keep fasts, nor do I observe the month of Ramadaan. I serve only the One, who will protect me in the end. the One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah. He administers justice to both Hindus and Muslims. I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. ---------conti below---
I serve the One Lord, and not any other. I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers. I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim. My body and breath of life belong to Allah — to Raam — the God of both. Says Kabir
Why did he say, that Kabir is ancestor of Rumi, Kabir was born 100 years after Rumi died. I think he made a mistake there, maybe he wanted to say that he was his descendant.
When the guest (god) is being searched for, it's the intensity of the longing for the guest that does all the work. Look at me and you will see a slave to that intensity.
then he makes some annoying cello noises lol, is that what you ment?
This so resonates with his Morning Poems and the orchestration, if you will [ and I must say at first I thought 'oh nooo jesus h christ bly this will verge on the terrible impulsiveness of an old man wishing to be otherwise], is full of guts and beauty. Here I seek to escape the Ramada Inn o Death.
hi i keep your book on a ledge to keep the light from my clock out of my eyes. I never actually read your poetry, but now that i've heard it i thinks it's really cool!!!

Totally in awe, never even expected anything on Kabir, whom I as a musician always admired.
I love the music , the diction and marvel that Kabir must had lived 129 years. Many thanks.
