Don’t go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend, don’t bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse
of beauty inside the body and out of it,
Before gardens and after gardens.
Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,
and there gaze on the infinite beauty.
Wear a crown of flowers on your head,
let its roots reach your heart.
[[Kabir]], 15th century Indian mystic, poet, and saint
I already am ALL that I am.
