VIII

Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it

  is the Creator:

Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.

The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;

And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells

  up.

Kabîr says: "Listen to me, my Friend!  My beloved Lord is within."
