Analysis of Do Not Go To The Garden Of Flowers
Kabir 1440 (Banaras) – 1518 (Maghar)
Do not go to the garden of flowers!
Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,
and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty.
