  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.”

  28. If you want to become full,
