Songs of Kabir
avadhû, mâyâ tajî na jây
TELL me, Brother, how can I renounce Maya?
When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about
me:
When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its
folds.
So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains;
And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still;
And when greed is vanquished, pride and vainglory remain;
When the mind is detached and casts Maya away, still it clings to
the letter.
Kabîr says, "Listen to me, dear Sadhu! the true path is rarely
found."
