This world, says Guru Nanak, is a sleight of hand from the great magician.
It is all a magic show with no reality in it. We are living in a grand delusion where things are not what they seem to be. This magic show begins from our body.
We consider the body as the be-all and end-all of human existence. We never for a moment think that there is some Motor-Power behind us.
When once this Power withdraws from the body, the whole play comes to an end.
All of us are taken in by this empty show. Kabir tells us: "When a juggler juggles about, people come around to see the play."
Sant Kirpal Singh
God is the tree in the forests
that allows itself to die and
will not defend itself in front
of those
with the ax, not
wanting to cause them
shame.
And God is the earth that will
allow itself to
be deformed by
man's tools, but He cries;
yes, God cries,
but only in
front of His closest ones.
And a beautiful animal is being
beaten to death, but nothing
can make God break His
silence
to the masses and say,
"Stop, please stop, why are
you doing this
to Me?"
How humble is God?
Kabir wept
when I knew.
