If you are seeking Allah,
Then keep clear of religious formalities. Those who have seen Allah Are away from all religions! Those who do not see Allah here, How will they see Him beyond? Let us go the land of Kak Where love flows in abundance, There are no entrances, no exits, Every one can see the Lord! There is no light nor day Every one can see the Lord! Those who love the Lord The world cannot hold them. Palaces do not attract them, Nor women nor servants Nothing binds them: The renouncers leave everything behind. A message came from the Lord: A full moon shone Darkness disappeared A new message came from the Lord: It does not matter what caste you are Whoever come, are accepted. Where shall I take my camel, All is Light... Inside there is Kak, mountain and valley, The Lord and the Lord: there is nothing but the Lord.
