Who will serve Thee? - Kabir

O Lord Increate, who will serve Thee?
Every votary offers his worship to the God of his own creation each day he receives service–
None seek Him, the Perfect: Brahma, the Indivisible Lord.
They believe in ten Avatars; but no Avatar can be the Infinite Spirit, for he suffers the results of his deeds:
The Supreme One must be other than this.
The Yogi, the Sanyasi, the Ascetics, are disputing one with another:
Kabîr says, “O brother!  he who has seen that radiance of love, he is saved.”

Kabir (1440 - 1518) India
