O Kabira, this body is perishable; if you can find a place for it. What service can be rendered to a saint, or to the glories of Govinda?

When Kabir speaks of this body being perishable, he is highlighting the profound transience of physical existence. The core message is that attachment to the temporary self is the greatest illusion. Since the body is fleeting, he questions the true value of dedicating oneself to worldly service or even constant praise of the divine. It is a powerful reminder to detach from physical concerns and focus instead on the eternal truth of the soul.
