THIS CLAY JUG by Kabir

THIS CLAY JUG

by Kabir


Inside this clay jug there are canyons

and pine mountains, and the maker of

canyons and pine mountains!


All seven oceans are inside, and

hundreds of millions of stars.


The acid that tests gold is there, and

the one who judges jewels.


And the music from the strings

no one touches, and the source of

all water.


If you want the truth, I will tell you

the truth:


Friend, listen:

the God whom I love is inside.

Some Info About Me

My Photo
Diane Meier
Abilene, Texas, United States
I am greatly influenced by many of the great mystic spiritual masters, including Jesus, who have shown us the way to go inward. My only purpose for this blog is to spread awareness of the philosophy of inward development. It could prove to be more efficient and beneficial to mankind than any other method, and is of utmost importance. My husband, Dr. Russ Meier,also has an interesting blog and he is the Director of the new Center for Contemplation (you can click onto the Center's website above).
