Kabir (1440-1581)

Inside this clay jar there are meadows and groves and the One who made them.

Inside this clay jar there are seven oceans and innumerable stars, acid to test gold, and a patient appraiser of jewels.

Inside this jar the music of eternity, and a spring flows from the source of all waters.

Kabir says: Listen, friend! My beloved Master lives inside.
