Don’t Go Outside Your House to See Flowers

Kabir, 15th Century
Don’t go outside your house to see flowers. My friend, don’t bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers. One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit. Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens.
– Kabir, 15th Century
