आहार करे मनभावता , इंद्री की स्वाद। नाक तलक पूरन भरे , तो कहिए कौन प्रसाद॥ 143॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The mind enjoys delectable food, and the senses crave flavor. When the nose (or senses) are completely filled with taste, tell me, what is that pleasure?
Explanation
This couplet is a sharp critique of sensual indulgence and the mind's constant craving. Kabir suggests that while the mind is delighted by every taste, when the nose—representing the senses—is absolutely full, what remains of the true delight? It directs us toward recognizing the limits of material pleasure and finding inner contentment.
