“पाया हो तो दे ले प्यारे
पाय पाय फिर खोना क्या रे?”

फीका और सलोना क्या रे ?”

“कहैं कबीर प्रेम का मारग
सिर देना तो रोना क्या रे ?”
Meaning:
Kabir says: the path of love (divine truth) demands surrender of ego (“head” symbolically).
If you are ready to surrender completely, then why cry or fear?
👉 Message: True spiritual path requires ego-sacrifice without hesitation.
This is a spiritual verse attributed to Kabir Das (Kabir Sahib), a प्रमुख संत कवि of the Bhakti movement, expressing the essence of divine love, self-awareness, and detachment from worldly comforts. Through simple imagery like sleep, bedding, and taste, Kabir emphasizes that true spiritual life requires awakening from ignorance, surrendering ego, and remaining steady in the path of devotion without fear or hesitation.
