Oh Friend, I Love You, Think This Over Poem by Kabir
Oh Friend, I Love You, Think This Over
Oh friend, I love you, think this over
carefully! If you are in love,
then why are you asleep?
If you have found him,
give yourself to him, take him.
Why do you lose track of him again and again?
If you are about to fall into heavy sleep anyway,
why waste time smoothing the bed
and arranging the pillows?
Kabir will tell you the truth: this is what love is like:
suppose you had to cut your head off
and give it to someone else,
what difference would that make?
Kabir will tell you the truth: this is what love is like: suppose you had to cut your head off and give it to someone else, what difference would that make? beyond comparison...
the first three questions kabir asks i get. i assume, however, that kabir, being human like us, also struggled with his focus, with being pure in heart. i'm not sure what he's getting at with his last question. if i could sit down with him, i'd ask. i relate this to the biblical proverb, above all things guard your heart, for that's where life starts. -gk
