is ghat antar - kabir

इस घट अंतर बाग-बगीचे, इसी में सिरजनहारां ।

इस घट अंतर सात समुंदर, इसी में नौ लख तारा ।

इस घट अंतर पारस मोती, इसी में परखनहारा ।

इस घट अंतर अनहद गरजै, इसी में उठत फुहारा ।

कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो, इसी में साईं हमारा ॥ --1-101

Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator.
Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.
The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within.
And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells up.
Kabir says: "Listen to me, my Friend!  My beloved Lord is within."
