The Songs of Kabir · 1 passage
V I. 63. 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." p. 49
