Without this, all is worthless || Acharya Prashant, on Guru Kabir (2019)
Jo main piyake man nahin bhaayeTo kaa padosin kaie dulrayeKahaa chudaa paayal jhamkaaye kahaa bhaye bichuaa thankaayeKahaa kaajar sindoor kaie diyyaie solaah singaar kahaa bhaye kiyaieAnjan manjan karaie thagauree ka pachi maraie thagauree baureeJo patibrataa hai naree kaisehi raho so pihayee piyareeTan man jeevan saunpee sareeraa taahi sohaagan kahai kabeera
If you cannot win the love of the Lord,what if you can lord over your neighbour?What is the good of dressing your hair and donning your feet with jingling jewellery?What is the value of all your make up with kaajar to your eyelids and vermilion to your forehead and all the efforts to deck yourself, if you are not loyal in your love?It is all a self-deception and does not touch the Lord at all.Says Kabir: if you can surrender your body, mind and heart to the Lord and remain loyal in love to Him, sans make up and ornamentsyou will win His favour in whatever state you be!
~ Guru Kabir Sahib
