Nothing abides in this alien land. <br />This world is like a papery wrap <br />that dissolves in drops of water. <br />It is like a hedge full of thorns <br />wherein one dies, if entangled. <br />It is indeed all bush and thickets <br />that quickly burn when caught in fire. <br /> <br />Says Kabir, listen O wise one, <br />only in the teachings of the True Guru <br />is to be found an abiding abode.<br /><br />Sunil Uniyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-abides-a-bhajan-of-kabir/
