ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

​

Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues,
nor in cathedrals:
not in masses, nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
When you really look for me, you will see me instantly –
you will find me in the tiniest hours of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.

– Kabir 12th century Persian sufi
