The truth comes from God
Says mahishya Mahakul ji
God is Nothingness
Says maha kavi Kabir ji
One is in Odisha, the other in UP
Both states nearby
Both Hindus
Both insaans
Both believers
Both read Ramayana, and Mahabarta too
Both did not eat cows
Both disagree
Nothingness is nothingness
Nothing goes into it
Nothing comes out of it
But truth, what a strange thing!
What a revelation of a thing of things!
It comes out of God. And God is nothing.
And what is truth after all?
What is true today, could be false tomorrow
No?
No, no, no
Cry the believers -
God is true, God was true, God will be true
So I say -
As my old uncle Kabir would say
Nothing is true, nothing was true, nothing will be true
Right?
