The story of Love can never be told.
It is the sherbet of the dumb man
Who eats it and smiles silently.
Without any earth and without any seed,
The tree of Divine Love just grows and grows,
Heavy with a million radiant fruits
My Lover picks for me to taste.
The story of Love can never be told.
When I calmed my mind
And entered my heart,
The Love of the Lord
Leapt like a flame within me.
All my old ideas and beliefs
Just blew away like chaff in the wind.
It wasn’t because of anything I am;
It wasn’t because of anything I did;
But only because of His miraculous grace
That I learned at long last the lesson of Love.
My coming and going have ended;
My mind has melted in the Mind.
Don’t ask me to speak any more—
The story of Love can never be told.
---Kabir
