तन को जोगी सब करे , मन को बिरला कोय। सहजै सब विधि पाइये , जो मन जोगी होय॥ 203॥
— Kabir
Meaning
The Shayar is saying that everyone can make the body act like a yogi, but few can make the mind act like one. Whoever attains the state of being a yogi of the mind easily achieves everything.
Explanation
Kabir beautifully contrasts the outward appearance with the inner reality. He suggests that while the body can be superficially made into a renunciate through external effort, the mind requires a profound, internal transformation. This couplet emphasizes that true detachment is not something taught, but something realized. The message is that genuine spirituality resides in the stillness and purity of the mind, not in mere outward performance.
