Kabir Says: And what if the talk of paradise is just hearsay? You better check out the place yourself.
Let’s go! Everyone keeps saying,
As if they knew where paradise is,
But ask them what lies beyond
The street they live on,
They’ll give you a blank look.
If paradise is where they’re heading,
Paradise is not where they’ll end up.
And what if the talk of paradise is just hearsay?
You better check out the place yourself.
As for me, says Kabir, if you’re listening,
Good company’s all I seek.

The Time Before Death
Friend? hope for the Guest while you are alive.
Jump into experience while you are alive!
Think... and think... while you are alive.
What you call "salvation" belongs to the time
before death.
If you don't break your ropes while you're alive,
do you think ghosts will do it after?
The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic
just because the body is rotten --
that is all fantasy.
What is found now is found then.
If you find nothing now,
you will simply end up with an apartment in the
City of Death.
If you make love with the divine now, in the next
life you will have the face of satisfied desire.
So plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is,
Believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for,
it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest
that does all the work.
Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.
-- Kabir, The Kabir Book
"If anyone becomes a son of the bridal chamber, he will receive the light. If anyone does not receive it while he is here, he will not be able to receive it in the other place. " (Gospel of Philip)
