 Inside This Clay Jug 

by Kabir

Inside this clay jug there are canyons and pine mountains,

and the maker of canyons and pine mountains!

All seven oceans are inside, and hundreds of millions of stars.

The acid that tests gold is here, and the one who judges jewels.

And the music that comes from the strings that no one touches,

and the source of all water.

If you want the truth, I will tell you the truth:

Friend, listen: the God whom I love is inside.

Kabir, adapted by Robert Bly in Kabir, Ecstatic Poems (Beacon Press, 2007)
