Ecstasy:The Forgotten Language

These songs of Kabir are tremendously beautiful. He is a poet: he is not a philosopher. He has not created a system. He is not a theoretician or a theologian. He is not interested in doctrines, in scriptures. His whole interest is in how to flower and become a god. His whole effort is how to make you more loving, more alert. These are the two types of people you will find. In the market you will find the people who indulge, and in the monasteries you will find the people who renounce. Kabir belongs to neither. A real man of understanding is a great synthesis. He knows that it is not a question of indulgence or renunciation; it is a question of awareness. Be in the world but be with awareness. Don't go anywhere, don't have antagonistic attitudes towards life. Kabir is tremendously life-affirmative. - Osho
