It is a dance in which you come alive!
You do not just sit in saffron, and say, “Hari Om.”
Kabir Sahab never made preaching, his profession. He was a weaver, and he remained a weaver. You must ask, all the so-called spiritual ones, “What do you do, except wagging your tongue? And how do you know, anything of life, if you are not living it anymore?”
“You do not meet the commoners. You do not earn anything. You live on donations. You do not go to the markets to sell anything. You don’t buy anything…
