For more about the fifteenth century Indian mystic Kabir Das, see this earlier post.

Wake up, you idiot.
Shake off your long sleep.
Focus within, discover
The rare wish-fulfilling jewel.
You’re slept on and on,
Lost countless days to sloth;
Get up right now
So the plundering thieves
Leave empty-handed
From your house.

This is the sign, friend,
That you’re awake;
Vedas, Puranas, Koran
Appear to you like poison.

Kabir says:
I’ll never sleep again!
I’ve found God’s priceless jewel
Within my own body.
