Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put up
          a swing:
all earth creatures, even the supernovas, sway between these
         two trees,
and it never winds down.

Angels, animals, humans, insects by the million, also the
         wheeling sun and moon;
ages go by, and it goes on

Everything is swinging: heaven, earth, water, fire,
and the secret one slowly growing a body.
Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds, and it made him a servant
         for life.
