Are
you looking for me?
I
am in the next seat.
My
shoulder is against yours.

Kabir
That's
not the guy sitting next to you
on the subway speaking;
it's God...
Are
you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You
will not find me in stupas,
nor
in Indian shrine rooms,
or
in the synagogue, nor in cathedrals
or
in masses, nor kirtans,
not
in legs winding around your own neck,
nor
in eating nothing but vegetables.
When
you really look for me,
you
will see me instantly.
you
will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir
says,
"Student, tell me, what is God"
he
is the breath inside the breath".
Be
still, wake up!
I
say to myself.
Stop
running all over the place
and
just look into the eyes gazing upon you
from the next seat.
