00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:04.980 align:middle line:84%
Next poem is called
When Kabir Died.

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:09.510 align:middle line:84%
Kabir was an Indian poet
I think the 14th century.

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.090 align:middle line:84%
He was neither Muslim
nor Hindu, and he

00:00:12.090 --> 00:00:18.610 align:middle line:84%
had a following from both
faiths, which was unusual,

00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:19.110 align:middle line:90%
but he did.

00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:22.110 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:25.470 align:middle line:90%
When Kabir died.

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:90%
They fought over his body.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.590 align:middle line:84%
The Mohammedens wanted
to bury the remains,

00:00:31.590 --> 00:00:34.890 align:middle line:84%
while the Hindus
desired to burn them.

00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:37.020 align:middle line:90%
They argued so for days.

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:40.440 align:middle line:84%
Then Kabir appeared
before them and told

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.000 align:middle line:84%
them to go to the casket
and remove his shroud.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.850 align:middle line:90%
Both parties obeyed.

00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:52.140 align:middle line:84%
They found in place of the
corpse a heap of flowers,

00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.070 align:middle line:84%
half of which were taken to
Magyar by the Mohammedens

00:00:56.070 --> 00:01:00.120 align:middle line:84%
and buried, , the other
half to Benaras and burned

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:02.370 align:middle line:90%
by the Hindus.

00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:05.670 align:middle line:84%
As Kabir himself
has said, we can

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:09.900 align:middle line:84%
reach the goal without
crossing the road

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:12.810 align:middle line:84%
or know that the
heart of the universe,

00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:14.640 align:middle line:90%
like music, is blossoming.

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.290 align:middle line:90%
