A Saint's True Home

Saints have attained their original home, the Lord's abode, and become one with Him. Though they are physically present in the world, within they are always in rapport with the Lord. Kabir says that Saints are citizens of the ultimate realm; from there they come to this mortal world, but in their Shabd form still live in their original home. He adds that the seeker can also reach there, but only in his Shabd form and not in the physical body.

 

I am a denizen of that land
Where in his full splendor
The True One reigns,
Where there is not a shade of pain
Nor a flicker of pleasure,
Where all days are filled
With undiminished bliss.

 

K.S.S., p. 108:6

 

I am a denizen of that land
Where every day
Is a day of celebration,
Where flows the nectar of love,
And in the reservoir of light
The lotus of the lover's heart
Blooms with boundless joy.

 

K.S.S., p. 108:7

 

I am a denizen of that land
Where revels the Lord
In supreme bliss;
Where without oil, without wick,
Brightly burns the lamp
Of the Inaccessible One.

 

Kabir, p. 217

 

Where there are awnings
Of radiant pearls,
Where shine lamps
Of divine diamonds,
Where the sun and the moon
Have no access,
In that land this slave beholds
His beloved Lord.

 

K.S.S., p. 111:48

 

I am a denizen of that land
Where there is no caste,
Colour or clan;
Where union is attained,
Not in the body,
But in the Shabd form.

 

K.S.S., p. 112:65

 

Where there is neither
Air nor water,
Nor earth nor sky,
There, O Kabir,
The Saints are the valets
Of the Lord.

 

K.S.S., p. 109:23
