now she is a goddess. God is hidden there. And come after three months.'
After three months the man was totally different, radiant with new energy. The disciple of Kabir were a little puzzled -- `Is he just joking with this man?' But when the man came, they were surprised. he had almost become a new man, a new being; and he fell at Kabir's feet and said, `Tremendous it is! I have found my God. And the day I found him in my cow, I found him everywhere.'
Whenever your love falls, no need to escape and renounce. Let your love become your prayer.
WHO TEACHES YOU TO BE STILL IN THE MIDST OF ALL YOUR ACTIVITIES.
EVER IMMERSED IN BLISS, HAVING NO FEAR IN HIS MIND, HE KEEPS THE SPIRIT OF UNION IN THE MIDST OF ALL ENJOYMENTS.
And Kabir says: Don't escape from enjoyments. Remember, they are his gifts. And don't escape from the worldly activities; remain passive. Move in the crowd and remain alone. The real thing is to be alone-not to be lonely. And one can be alone in the crowd, and you can be in a crowd when sitting in a Himalayan cave-it all depends on your mind. So the change has to be inner, not outer.
THE INFINITE DWELLING OF THE INFINITE BEING IS EVERYWHERE:
IN EARTH, WATER, SKY, AND AIR:
FIRM AS THE THUNDERBOLT, THE SEAT OF THE SEEKER IS ESTABLISHED ABOVE THE VOID.
HE WHO IS WITHIN IS WITHOUT: I SEE HIM AND NONE ELSE.
You just become empty of your self. Empty yourself, become void... and you will become the seat, you will become the abode, you will become the temple.

I LEFT ALL RITES AND CEREMONIES,
I BATHED NO MORE IN THE HOLY WATER;
THEN I LEARNED THAT IT WAS I ALONE WHO WAS MAD, AND THE WHOLE WORLD BESIDE ME WAS SANE; AND I HAD DISTURBED THESE WISE PEOPLE.
This must be you experience too, of all sannyasins. People will think you mad.
And Kabir says:
