O How may I ever express that secret word? O how can I say … - Kabir

" "
O How may I ever express that secret word? O how can I say He is not like this, and He is like that? If I say that He is within me, the universe is ashamed: If I say that He is without me, it is falsehood. He makes the inner and the outer worlds to be indivisibly one; The conscious and the unconscious, both are His footstools. He is neither manifest nor hidden, He is neither revealed nor unrevealed: There are no words to tell that which He is.

all of his works are zero.
When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead,
then the work of the Teacher is over.
