"The Songs of Kabir", tr. by Rabindranath Tagore, intro. by Evelyn Underhill, [1915],

Lxvi

I. 20.
\"man na raNgye "

THE Yogi dyes his garments, instead of dyeing his mind in the colours of love: p. 110

He sits within the temple of the Lord, leaving Brahma to worship a stone.

He pierces holes in his ears, he has a great beard and matted locks, he looks like a goat:

He goes forth into the wilderness, killing all his desires, and turns himself into an eunuch:

He shaves his head and dyes his garments; he reads the Gt and becomes a mighty talker.

Kabr says: "You are going to the doors of death, bound hand and foot!"
