Kabir

I am neither pious nor ungodly,
I live neither by law nor by sense,
I am neither a speaker nor hearer,
I am neither a servant nor master,
I am neither bond nor free,
I am neither detached nor attached.
I am neither none: I am near to none.
I shall go neither to hell nor to heaven.
I do all works: yet I am apart from all works.
Few comprehend my meaning: he who can
     comprehend it, he sits unmoved.
Kabir seeks neither to establish nor to destroy.

[Songs of Kabir. Translated by Rabindranath Tagore. Dover Publ.]
