Hey wise wanderer, what’s the
secret?
Just live your life well.
In this world, fl owers, branches—
wherever I look,
you, only you.
An elephant is you
in elephant form,
an ant is just a little you. As
elephant driver
you sit on top. The one who drives
is you, only you.
With thieves you become a thief,
you’re among the outlaws too.
You rob someone and run away.
The cop who nabs the thief is you,
only you.
With givers you become a giver,
you’re among the paupers too.
As a beggar you go begging.
The donor is you, only you.
In man and woman
you shine the same,
Who in this world
would call them two?
A baby arrives and starts to cry.
The babysitter is you, only you.
In earth, ocean,
every creature, you alone
shine forth. Wherever
I look, only you.
Kabir says, listen seekers,
You’ve found the guru
right here, right now!
