having crossed the river, <br />where will you go, O friend? <br /> <br />there's no road to tread, <br />no traveller ahead, <br />neither a beginning, nor an end. <br /> <br />there's no water, <br />no boat, no boatman, no cord; <br />no earth is there, <br />no sky, no time, no bank, no ford. <br /> <br />you have forgotten the Self within, <br />your search in the void will be in vain; <br />in a moment the life will ebb, <br />and you in this body will not remain. <br /> <br />be ever conscious of this, O friend, <br />you've to immerse within your Self; <br />Kabir says, salvation you won't then need, <br />for what you are, you'll be indeed. <br />...<br /><br />Sunil Uniyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/having-crossed-the-river-a-bhajan-of-kabir/
