कबिरा आप ठगाइए , और न ठगिए कोय। आप ठगे सुख होत है , और ठगे दुख होय॥ 175॥
— Kabir
Meaning
O Shayar, deceive us, but do not deceive anyone else. Deceiving us brings happiness, and deceiving others brings sorrow.
Explanation
Kabir suggests that the greatest deception is the one we accept about ourselves; we must be willing to be 'tricked' by the truth to achieve true happiness. He advises that while we should not deceive anyone else, we must embrace the divine illusion that leads to spiritual awakening. The joy of being deceived by the Guru is far superior to the sorrow caused by misleading others.
