I.65. avadhu bhule ko ghar lawe HE IS DEAR TO me indeed who can call back the wanderer to his home. In the home is the true union, in the home is enjoyment of life: why should I forsake my home and wander in the forest? If Brahma helps me to realize truth, verily I will find both bondage and deliverance in home. He is dear to me indeed who has power to dive deep into Brahma whose mind loses itself with ease in His contemplation. He is dear to me who knows Brahma, and can dwell on His supreme truth in meditation; and who can play the melody of the Infinite by uniting love and renunciation in life. Kabir says: 'The home is the abiding place; in the home is reality; the home helps to attain Him Who is real. So stay where you are, and all things shall come to you in time.'
LORD OF MY being, has your wish been fulfilled in me? Days have passed without service and nights without love. Flowers have dropped on to the dust and have not been gathered for your acceptance. The harp strings strung with your own hands have slackened and lost their notes. I slept in the shadow of your garden and forgot to water your plants. Is the time over now, my lover? Have we come to the end of this play? Then let the bell ring of departure, let the morning come for the freshening of love. Let the knot of a new life be tied for us in a new bridal bond.
