FEAR NOT, FOR thou shalt conquer, thy doors will open, thy bonds break. Often thou losest thyself in sleep, and yet must find back thy world again and again. The call comes to thee from the earth and sky the call from among men, the call to sing of gladness and pain, of shame and fear. The leaves and the flowers, the waters that fall and flow, ask for thy notes to mingle with their own, the darkness and light to tremble in the rhythm of thy song.
I.131. nis din khelat rahi sakhiyan sang I PLAYED day and night with my comrades, and now I am greatly afraid. So high is my Lord's palace, my heart trembles to mount its stairs: yet I must not be shy, if I would enjoy His love. My heart must cleave to my Lover; I must withdraw my veil, and meet Him with all my body: Mine eyes must perform the ceremony of the lamps of love. Kabir says: 'Listen to me, friend: he understands who loves. If you feel not love's longing for your Beloved One, it is vain to adorn your body, vain to put unguent on your eyelids.'
