26. O servant, where dost thou seek Me?
Lo! I am beside thee.
I am neither in temple nor in mosque:
I am neither in Kaaba nor in Kailash:
Neither am I in rites and ceremonies,
nor in Yoga and renunciation.
If thou art a true seeker, thou shalt at once
see Me: thou shalt meet Me in a moment
of time.
Kabir says, “O Sadhu!
God is the breath of all breath.”

27. I can't remember things before they happen
It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards

28. If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be whole,
let yourself be partial.

29. THANKS
