A Sabbath Poem (Kabir)

I JUST LAUGH ~ by Kabir (c. 1440-1518)

If I told you the truth about God, you might think I was an idiot.
If I lied to you about the Beautiful One you might parade me through the streets shouting,“This guy is a genius!”
This world has its pants on backwards. Most carry their values and knowledge in a jug that has a big hole in it.
Thus having a clear grasp of the situation if I am asked anything these days
I just laugh!

(from the Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices
from the East and West, translation Daniel Ladinsky
