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

Xlii

I. 79.
\"trath men to sab pn hai "

There
is nothing but water at the holy bathing places; and I know that they are useless, for I have bathed in them.

The images are all lifeless, they cannot speak; I know, for I have cried aloud to them.

The Purana and the Koran are mere words; lifting up the curtain, I have seen.

Kabr gives utterance to the words of experience; and he knows very well that all other things are untrue.
