कहता तो बहूँना मिले , गहना मिला न कोय। सो कहता वह जान दे , जो नहीं गहना कोय॥ 164॥
— Kabir
Meaning
If I speak, I will find my sister; but I find no ornament. If you please tell me, for I have no ornament.
Explanation
When Kabir speaks about finding neither a sister nor an ornament through speech, he critiques the futility of seeking material gains. He suggests that if you simply reveal the truth to me—the truth I lack—that knowledge is far more valuable than any physical adornment. This couplet beautifully conveys that genuine understanding and inner wisdom far surpass external appearance or superficial conversation. Kabir’s unique perspective always guides us toward the illumination of truth.
