XXVII: It is the mercy of my true Guru that has made me to know the unknown;

XXVII II. 81. satgur sôî dayâ kar dînhâ

IT is the mercy of my true Guru that has made me to know the unknown; I have learned from Him how to walk without feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink without mouth, to fly without wings; I have brought my love and my meditation into the land where there is no sun and moon, nor day and night. Without eating, I have tasted of the sweetness of nectar; and without water, I have quenched my thirst. Where there is the response of delight, there is the fullness of joy. Before whom can that joy be uttered? Kabîr says: “The Guru is great beyond words, and great is the good fortune of the disciple.”
