In at least one hundred words, how does kabir express his belief in god in this excerpt from “tell me, o swan, your ancient tale”? there the woods of spring are a-bloom, and the fragrant scent “he is i” is borne on the wind: there the bee of the heart is deeply immersed, and desires no other joy.

The swan is a metaphor of our soul, which is timeless and ancient. The speaker wants to know where the swan is going, what is wants and what is the purpose of life. He requests our soul to go with him in knowing that God is us and the answer to “Who Am I” which was written on the wind of God’s impulse to realize Himself that blew over His being in creation’s beginning. And to attach to God deliberately on the way to know Him is the joy of loving God, similar as a bee that will cultivate and finish our sorrows by ending desire. With that connection, there’s no doubt regarding God and that forever exists.

Am I too late?
