The Mercy of My True Guru
It is the mercy of my true Guru
that has made me to know the unknown:
I have learnt from him how to walk without feet,
to see without eyes, to drink without mouth,
to fly without wings;
I have brought my love and my meditation
into the land where there is no sun and moon,
nor day and night.
Without eating I have tasted
of the sweetness of nectar;
and without water I have quenched my thirst.
Where there is the response of delight,
there is the fullness of joy.
Before whom can that joy be uttered?
Kabir says: ‘The Guru is great beyond words,
and great is the good fortune of the disciple.’
