Kabir
Even when we are in pain or grief, the words of Kabir are comforting, for they remind us that all states are temporary, and all conditions of the mind and spirit constantly change, one into the other:
My body is flooded
With the flame of Love.
My soul lives in
A furnace of bliss.
Love's fragrance
Fills my mouth,
And fans through all things
With each outbreath.
-- from Perfume of the Desert: Inspirations from the Sufi Wisdom, by Andrew Harvey / Eryk Hanut
